Due to the really poor quality, I am returning it. The outer layer is made of cardboard - not even MDF panel. The middle is hollow - so if you knock on it, you can hear the hollowness. The finish is not black, it is Espresso, but it has these brown streaks and patterns that look artificial and unattractive. It feels extremely cheap. Very disappointed. 

It is thick (2 inches) so make sure it fits where you want it.
