In the pictures the wood looks very distressed, is it really like the pictures? Or just regular wood finish?

Mine is not distressed looking. It actually has a very nice finish. I have the one with the mirror front.

As received, the wood was not distressed and had a very nice, dark finish. On the other hand, the mirror was of questionable quality, as there were several spots where the mirror finish on the back of the glass was kind of sketchy (which appeared to be a manufacturing issue, not an assembly or handling issue). Note that because the defects were on the lower portion of the mirror, my wife chose to keep and install the product, instead of going through the hassle of returning it.

It is real wood, very light made. I love the distressed and it works for what I needed it for. It is really cute sitting in my hall with frames on it. Hope this helped you.

It looks like stained veneer over plywood. We had to cut a vent hole through the side and it was very strong.

I would say mine is like the first photo but since you have different answers, good luck! My opinion is the wood is darker in a dark place and lightens up in brighter location. I was very pleased.

It actually looks like they may have used some sort of wood polish in the second picture. Mine looks more like the first picture.

Due to stain finishing on the wood, I could not tell you what kind of wood was made. I believe the top and bottom boards were made of veneer. I love this curio. If you ever order one, please check for damage upon delivery. You need to open the package before sign off.�

I cannot believe that was someone's serious concern. It is painted wood. It is plywood, pine most likely with several coats of paint and it looks great even after much use. Hope you were not wanting teak or ebony at that price.

Everything that is not real koa wood is painted in a distressed finish to match the wood. If you're looking up from the floor you won't be able to tell the difference. It matches pretty well.

The "distressing" is just some variation on the coloring of the veneer. It doesn't have any dings,etc.. The panels are all smooth to the touch. And, from a few steps away, you can't really tell it's distressed. To me, the picture looks more severe, as far as the distressing, than the actual piece looks.

The picture is pretty accurate to mine. It's not that dark. It's a nice medium brown wood. I have darker and lighter furniture in the room and it right in the middle. Hope this helps. I love it.

i would call it a wood veneer. It's surface is smooth, you might have to rough it up a bit with sandpaper. The quality of this for the price is good. It is holding up well. The opening and closing mechanism is excellent....

It's completely unfinished and smooth. Its parawood, which is high quality. I stained mine; paint would probably work too

It's Parawood / rubberwood. Pretty hard and dense. It has a nice smooth grain and darker cellular divits (?) vs. the surrounding main grain noticable after staining; similar to mahogany. I was planning on painting the legs as well, but the wood was so nice, I couldn't stomach it. Needed at least two to three stain coats (used Minwax Cherry) to complete evenly. Make sure to rub excess off shortly after each coat or there will be darker areas. Used two coat of Shellac for final and beautiful!

No, the picture is a good representation of the color of my sideboard. It's a rustic brown but just a warning its a top treatment so once you knick the surface it's a light cream wood underneath. I used a furniture marker to touch up blemishes.

I'd say the color of the wood is true to what is shown in the picture for mine, except mine have black stain sprayed along the four vertical corners of each post. This ties the color in better with the black upholstery and looks very nice.

No it's more of a smooth surface. Just an F.Y.I it is not made of solid wood, it is made of particle board. It is a very nice piece but just thought you should be aware.

The wood is natural color. I don't know what kind of wood it is because was not in the specification. Might be spruce, just guessing, but it looks good.
