Pros - easy to assemble with two people (if at least one of you is handy and patient), table top seems to be solid wood (or is convincing), LOVE the authentic-looking rustic hand-scraped texture top/door and sides, seems sturdy. TONS of storage- we fit our extensive 3-row deep, two shelf DVD collection into the left cabinet ONLY! The cabinet doors and their hardware come pre-installed which is nice.
CONS - Pretty sure the back, separating panels, shelf inserts are all particle board. The only parts that (might be) real wood (and probably pine, at that) are the top, sides and frame of the front.
Overall not worth the $430 we paid; and I can’t BELIEVE anyone would pay more than that for this piece of furniture but it seems a mid-quality piece that you’d expect to find at a typical furniture store. Furniture that is 100% solid wood is rare to find; so I guess I should’ve expected as much.
Decent product
