Its solid wood, looks great and for the price it cant be beat. It would be 5 stars except two things:
1.) There are no metal starter inserts for attaching the lower table bolts to the legs, so you have to be extremely careful that you are screwing the bolts perfectly angled into drilled out holes or you would almost surely strip them out trying again or have a wobbly table.
2.) The turn screws that hold the legs onto the main surface are painted to appear metal but are very cheap plastic. It you turn with even a little more than Im not sure if thats tight, youll break one like I did and have a dangling leg. Any torquing of the legs moving the table and the screws could easily break.
Both of these very inexpensive upgrades would maybe cost the manufacturer less than a dollar in materials and labor.
I would have surely paid 5 more to have something that would be durable as opposed to being good if you treat it with kid/gloves, but in the end more people may buy based solely on price and they will still do well at almost really good.
