It looks cool and it's real wood. However, I had it for about a week and dropped my phone and the a piece of wood broke off. So needless to say it sucks

Real wood. Looks great. We have a perfect spot with wings down. Plenty of usable space with wings up.

This thing is nice. It's not real wood, but looks okay, and so far it has held up nicely after several months of eating dinner on it every day. The fold-up feature is nice, though it works better if you have two people to pull it up at the same time. It was fairly tough to put together - a bit more complicated than your standard IKEA-fare, but I managed it on my own.

It is indeed made of wood.  The price was very good.  I only wish it was not so red.

I don't need more wood in my house, so I got this. It looks cool. It holds 5-6 of my expensive German knives. One is an 8 inch chef and the other big one is that one with dimples (I can't remember its Latin name). I've also got some narrower bladed knives in there. I have it on my kitchen island. It really does look sharp. Get it? "Sharp"?

Keeping it clean is easy. It has a quality weight. It doesn't look like it is from that big Swedish company.

Easy to assemble and the price and quality are right on. If ur looking for real wood and something to last a lifetime look else where though. But over all looks great and no regrets on buying it

Although I am uncertain on how well this really protects anything from a drop, the case is a real walnut veneer on back with laser etching.  It's very attractive and I get comments all the time on how cool it is.  Very pleased

It's real, solid wood with a metal stand. Assembly is crazy easy. You literally just stick the metal column of your choosing into the four leg stand and table and...you're done. The table itself looks great. I was a bit worried after reading reviews about the finish looking bad and there being dents due to poor packaging, I was even more worried when the box my table came in was severely damaged. But my fears were immediately, and thankfully, alleviated upon opening it up. The table looks great and the 30 inch column is the perfect height.

Unfortunately, as wonderful as this table is, the stand was uneven, resulting in an annoying wobble. I took care of it with my trusty rubber mallet easily enough. But still...it was annoying and I feel it was likely the result of poor packaging on the manufacturer's part.

This is made of very rough wood but I was aware of that from previous posts.  I'm really pleased with it.

You can tell that this is not real wood by looking at it, even from a short distance like 10-15 feet. But it's easy to build. It will heat up a room, but I wanted this so that I could warm my feet, and it doesn't direct heat like I wanted it to.

It may seem like a novelty item, but it is actually finely finished solid wood construction.  The in-laws loved it and it still gets smiles every time someone needs to take a double take reading it.

Looks like natural wood and it probobly is. However, please consider, this is a frame blocks not a full wooded block, so very light and slippery.
But it's ok, if you never tried a real thing.

Real wood and large size makes this a perfect desktop item. Nice looking, and solid build. My kid loved it.

This bookcase is very easy to put together and when finished looks really nice.  I realize it is NOT WOOD,  but once everything is on it, it does look great next to my real-wood furniture (it actually matches exactly!)

For the price, I am not expecting it to be a family heirloom (ha ha!), but it does the job and looks great!  We actually purchased another one we were so happy with it.

We did not have any problems with missing or wrong pieces (I am sure that would be a real pain-in-the-neck) like some other reviewers stated.  And the box that it was shipped in was in perfect condition.

As a note: If you are expecting this to be anything close to a "real wood" piece of furniture, you will be very disappointed!  Take a look at the price of actual wooden bookcases  (near or over a thousand dollars!)  This does the job, but please don't expect it to be something it isn't!  It is wood-veneer-printed-vinyl over particle board available at a fraction of the cost of the "real thing"!
