It is made of wood throughout, and so is durable and repairable. The assembly instructions are clear and complete, and they sent extra hardware, God bless their hearts. The hinges and handles are some satisfyingly heavy bronze-colored metal. The glass in the doors is heavy and tempered. There is nothing shoddy about this piece. Even the back panels are a thin plywood rather than composite.
There are a few little problems. The whole piece smelled powerfully of finish and glue at first. Someone forgot to pre-drill holes for the back panels. The screws for the door hinges are surprisingly delicate for such heavy doors.
There is one big problem: the piece arrived with the left top side molding broken off. The whole piece was carefully and cleverly backed, so it must have been careless handling before or during packing. I will be able to clamp and glue it back, but ought not have to.
Nice piece, but arrived damaged
