This storage console/ looks pretty good for fake wood. The pieces are heavy particle board with a faux wood laminate made to look like aged washed wood. Close up, it is easy to tell that it is not actual wood. If you are more than about 5 feet or two meters away, it can pass for wood.
Assembly did give me a little trouble. I am experienced with furniture assembly and have built more than a few bookcases, beds, shelving units, tables, etc. I like to think I am decent at putting things together. But this unit had instructions that were at times ambiguous. I attached two pieces incorrectly and did not notice my mistake until I got stuck later on in the assembly process. That was annoying.
Overall though, this is a nice unit for the price. The open shelves allow for plenty of storage and the height is right for a or video game monitor.
