Its a nice little unit and it serves its purpose.   The top and shelves appear to be textured plastic over pressboard.   I wasnt expecting real wood for the price.   The chairs and frame are sturdy.   Astonishingly it does not come with assembly instructions.   I called customer service and they confirmed that there are no instructions for assembling it.   If youve assembled things like this before it wasnt too hard although I had to take it apart  by the shelves because I faced one one of the supports the wrong way.   You also have to drill screws into the seats and shelves that do no have holes.   Be careful when putting the seats and shelves on and make sure they are centered and straight.
