The keyboard tray was a piece of heavy solid wood with glossy cherry finish, much nicer than I expected. However there were no instructions for assembly and no pre-drilled holes to mount the rail to the tray. The screws that came with the kit were much too short to hold such a heavy piece of wood. So I had to purchase my own screws and have a carpenter install it. If you're a do-it-your-selfer, you may be happy with this product. Otherwise, you should probably look at a different product.
