Made of lightweight plywood it is very light but nicely built. To be honest if you bought the raw materials you could not build it yourself for this price.
Bought it for my two year old to start to have a bash, as it was the smallest one I could find. Does not have a full internal snare, but the basic two wires stretched across the back of the front panels gives a nice snap to the sound.
I added this purchse to his other percission instruments, as it is small enough to fit in the cupboard out of the way, when he is not playing it.
As, I say, for the price it is and for the younger musicians to get into it, it is a great Cajon.
