Is it made of solid wood or particle board?

The front and sides are actual cherry wood--very attractive. The rear panels are a balsa wood. The metal facing is obviously not hand carved clock works but pressed metal works--it's pretty. It's a pretty piece. I couldn't pay thousands of dollars for a clock and look myself in the mirror. But this is great. A pretty, large clock that looks great in my front room. The chimes are a recording but the sound is pretty. It's pretty.

No, it is not solid wood. I am not sure what other materials were used. For the price, it looks terrific.

Mine appears to be solid wood, but it is very thin wood approx 3/8 in, with a veneer?

It is made of plywood and some type of board similar to particle board. The finish is a thick base coat with a cherry top coat. The end result is a very nice looking piece of furniture. The two weight shells are cheep looking so I replaced them with three real weight shells. The clock looks great.

I'm not sure what the wood is but it is solid. The walnut veneer is beautiful and in putting it together, I saw no evidence of the particle board stuff used to make furniture these days. If you decide to buy this, the only change we made when assembling this piece was that my husband put a drop of wood glue in each hole to attach the back to the sides for added strength as he and another family member weigh between 275 and 300. Anyone can sit on it with no problems and I have had it for about 8 months now.

It's particle board. I've have owned it for a few years now and it's held up very well. I recommend it highly.

I'm quite sure it is solid wood as it's very sturdy and a bit heavy. I'm guessing it's a hardwood but it's merely a guess.

Not solid wood. It's most likely particle board. It has been a great shelf and I love it.

Not sure of the exact type of wood, but definitely solid, not particle or plywood like. It is very sturdy.

Parts of it are made with solid wood, we are pleased with it, my daughter is 13 months old and we are still using it every day.

Solid wood. It seems well made and has a good feel to it (sturdy). I'd recommend it.

IT seems to be mostly particle board but it is very heavy and the product is quite sturdy when assembled. I has a very good painted finish and looks like wood when assembled

It is not solid wood but rather finely compressed cellulose with a veneer of wood laminate. Definitely not particle board. The weight is very close to solid wood.

The entire shelving unit is made of solid wood. No particle board in sight. It's a good buy for the $$ and it looks quite nice, too.

This is solid wood. I can't tell you how beautiful this is. No particle board at all, it is fine furniture. Highly recommended. I can't believe they make any money on this, it is shipped like a crate and weighs a ton. I only responded because it is of such high quality, you will not be disappointed.

It is some kind of wood composite. Not particle board. Not solid wood. It's very heavy! I bought two dressers for our walk in closet and I've been pleased with them, especially because the price was right. Of course, being in the closet, no one sees them.

I believe it's particle wood, it's very sturdy though (not super heavy) and has a nice smooth finish.

It is mostly particle board with laminate. Once it is assembled, it looks like a much more expensive piece. It took about an hour to assemble, but I was working alone. I am very pleased with it.

I think it is a mix of real wood and veneered particle board. But it is pretty good quality. I am pretty happy with it.
