The company has this listed as "Solid Wood Construction." Can anyone elaborate on that? Is it MDF or pine (or somethine else)?

Hello Haon - This model bed is basically as advertised except for some minor exceptions - the slats are metal and the back of the chest unit is a hardboard covered in wood grain (basically the same thing you would find in the back of any chest you would buy at the store). All else is made from furniture grade pine. There is no MDF or particle board in this model. The white version of this bed does have MDF components but that is actually a good thing. MDF is fine - particle board in not fine. Thank you for allowing me to assist you - from the #1 Discovery World Furniture seller on Amazon - Dreamscape Furniture:) Feel free to call me at 8007719330 if you need further assistance. Scott

It appears that the legs, top, ledge and shelf portions are all solid wood. I believe only the sides and back are MDF. It's a very solid bench. I'm quite impressed with it and have had the bench for months now.

I'm pretty sure it IS solid wood. It's a very heavy piece. Ours did come with a broken piece of wood, but I contacted the company and they sent a replacement. I really like it & use it everyday and it seems durable.

It is made of MDF = medium-density fiberboard. Meaning, it is the cheap engineered laminated wood product that is widely used for in-stock cabinets (and other cheap furniture like this one) at big box stores that crumbles in no time. Bought it for the design to build with a better wood later.

It is pressed wood. MDF, I believe. I received mine with large split in part of the frame, but, I wood glued and put a vice on it as I needed something right away. In spite of that, the price was right and I'm happy with it.

I believe it's manufactured wood. Or what they call mdf, but with the added strength of rubber. It is very strong and quite a heavy piece. I love it and do not regret for a minute buying it. If you want a solid wood piece you will pay twice or more this cost. It is a beautiful piece and I love it in my kitchen.

I have now purchased four of these cabinets for DVD's and CD's. These are a solid wood system, not MDF with a veneer. I have been very pleased with these units and they all arrived with no damages. My friends who have seen them have commented on their appearance for what it's worth. If I need more space, which I will soon, I will order this unit again. Hope this helped ! William

The legs are solid. Probably ash, but with veneer. The doors and paneling are most likely MDF with veneer. Understand your desires and I was in the same boat but eventually settled for this one on price vs. solid/custom wood and am pretty satisfied. Its done well and not a cheap veneer. Expect it to hold up pretty well.

MDF is medium density fibreboard (you can read more about that on Google) but no it is not solid hardwood, however it is sturdy.

The one I received was MDF with a very convincing veneer. See my 2 star review for a photo.

I agree with previous comment, it's not hardwood. In fact, I would say it's probably not even pine. I suspect it's some [semi-soft] wood of asian origin. However, it seems sturdy enough for the purpose - a kids bed that will see plenty of abuse. It won't be a family heirloom but I think it will hold up until my soon is old enoungh to outgrow it. I am faily picky about having quality furniture and I am satisfied that I got what I paid for. Hope that helps.

The entire piece is real wood. The back panel seems to be laminate. None of the item is made of particle board/mdf.

It is constructed from a mix of materials. Some of the pieces are real wood and the rest is MDF (fiberboard).

I dont know the species, but it is not mdf, it is light, but a solid piece of wood, not pressed fiberboard

It's pine. I have several bokken I use in Aikido and this is for display only. It broke in my vehicle when I moved to a new home. This should be made from Oak but it is not.Here is a link to a picture of the broken bokken. :)http://imageshack.com/i/mrly33j

It is probably mdf - or some other type like that - it's not real wood - you won't find real wood for that price - it's sturdy and holds a lot - looks like wood- easy to put together- I'm pleased w them (I have 2 side by side - looks like one cabinet)

MDF, probably with some plywood bracing. Seems durable. The acoustic properties seem good.
