This is a spectacular little unit for the money. Its sturdy, its finished well, its easy to put together, and its pretty good looking as a piece.If you're like me, the first question you ask is: Ok, what kind of wood? Is this a type of particle board?Thankfully, the answer is that it is not a type of particle board. Its hard to tell due to the stain, but it appears to be made of either beech or poplar, although cedar is a potential as well.The espresso finish is a nice mix of dark brown with a hint of red. If you know your woods... It makes it look very similar to a dark cherry when all is said and done.There are definitely nicer bookshelves out there, but for the money this is a spectacular unit. Highly recommended.
