This is a pretty nice looking faux antique piece.  Not super solid, but real wood, so sturdier than a lot of MDF stuff, and overall decent value.

By the standards of assemble at home stuff, this is a pretty involved build.  I would say at lest several hours for a reasonably handy person with a decently equipped shop.  I expect it would rather a drag, with just a few hand tools.  The handy may find themselves making a few tweaks for added strength.
