For the price, you can't beat this piece!  The grain is really very pretty.  It's a tiny bit darker into the griege color than the picture shows, but still beautiful.  Some of the pieces are higher end wood like the footings, but they only have two in front and went cheaper pressboard with veneer on the back feet.  Weird.  Keeping it because it's so functional and really nice for the price.  Takes about 1 hour to put together after you open it and organize all your pieces.  I suggest putting them in alphabetical order first.
