This stand is beautiful! I thought the description said that it was real wood ,which it is not. However, it is heavy and I believe that it will last. My unit arrived with a broken shelf and several scratches inside. It was packaged VERY well which meant that the unit went out that way it did not happen in transit. Luckily, the scratches are not visible from the outside, and Wayfair promptly sent us a new shelf. We found that the directions to put the legs on were not clear and it took us a couple of tries to get the legs on all in the same direction. The doors were not put on straight and we had to do some adjusting to even them out. When all is said and done though. This is a beautiful stand and we love it!
