I've assembled dozens of furniture pieces in my life. I must say, I've never had a piece that would be such a high quality. The wood is a common particle board. However, the construction method and the screws used for assembly are incomparable. The back board is 2x as thick as what you typically find and it appears to be made of wood rather than a thick cardboard. The only flaw is that it has only two shelves and the spacing ends up being too high... we'll get some extra shelves in Home Depot. Despite, we love it so much that we can easily overlook the two shelf deal.
