There is zero real wood on this set. The front of the cabinet, where the faux drawers are, is PLASTIC.

Sucker sure is heavy though. I carried it down into my basement myself. Wanna know how?

It was easy. I removed the wheels, put the set on its side, then took a piece of plywood, and using 6 drywall screws, affixed it to the bottom of the set. Then tipped it back up, and slid it across my living room carpet, and down my basement steps, without a scratch, and no straining of my back.

When you don't have a helper, you need to be inventive

Plastic or not, it looks darn good; could have fooled anyone into believing it was actual wood. Sure had me fooled -- until I read your post, I thought the entire cabinet was real wood or, at worst, particle board with walnut or maple veneer over it. I wonder how many people bought these sets and had them for years, never realizing or even suspecting the cabinet was essentially all plastic.
