The wood actually looks nicer in person, more of a cherry look to it. I am very pleased with the noise level. I am disappointed in the shelving. It scratches really easily and is so lightweight. I am not sure what kind of "solid wood" the shelves are.

We wanted to have a smaller furniture-type unit to hold a smaller qty of bottles for use in our hearth room for ourselves and guests. Ideally, we wanted a unit 44 in. wide but had to settle for the unit we purchased. It had a couple of minute pinhole sized dings in the wood but overall a very nice piece of furniture. The shelves do not move much & bottles have to be just the right size. Overall, we are satisfied and thinking about buying a larger furniture unit for our home in South Carolina.
