Is the whole desk made of solid wood or only the veneers?

The answers listed here differ, but be clear that this desk is not entirely solid wood. The top and nearly every piece that you see from the front are solid wood as are the feet and all drawer pieces but for the drawer bottoms. The sides and the large pieces on the left and right of your legs when you sit at the desk are engineered wood. This is a solid desk, but it is not all solid wood.

Solid wood. It is very heavy. And the color is different than the photo. Nothing oak about it. More like cherry. But nice none the less. Don't be looking for a light color. No golden to it at all.

All, repeat, all of this desk is made of 3/4" rubberwood, except for the bottoms of the drawers, which is 3/16" solid-core plywood with rubberwood veneers. The sides, backs, top, etc are all solid, 3/4" wood and the feet are glued-up from the same.

Veneer of course. You would pay a fortune nowadays for a well made solid wood desk, that would not warp over time. There is an advantage to particle board, over wood planks. Particle board does not warp, but it is twice as heavy, has very little lateral stability (you cannot use it for bookshelves, as they would warp under the pressure), and it is "dead" wood that does not move and change over time anymore like "real" wood planks do. But even in the old times, people used fancy veneer over cheaper wood.

Seems to be solid wood, I could not find any part that looked like veneer, maybe the back? The back is finished though. Very heavy, solid, well built.

The whole desk is not hardwood. It is a combination. The inner parts of the drawers are engineered wood.

I do believe it is a combination of solid wood and veneer but I am not an expert. All I can tell you is that it is beautiful, fits perfectly in the corner space where I wanted to put it and that I have had many compliments on the unit.

From what I can tell, it is mostly solid wood. There are some areas where there is particle board used. For sure the drawers are solid. I hope this helps since I responded so late.

It is wood veneer. general frame structure is good and wheels make moving easy. overall only 2 points of concern. 1. the physical size of the desk wooden surface is small. would have preferred something bigger. 2. the mechanism that allows for tilting the top is cheap.

It is finished so you can show the back. I suggest you put a glass or plexi top on it because the wood is soft. That is my one and only complaint about the desk.

The top is solid wood and the trim is wood. The shelves, sides and back are particle board. It's very good but I wish it was all wood.

The legs are made of wood and the frame is made metal, a light weight steel. The keyboard slide out functions very smoothly. The whole desk is very well built, all the parts were there and is looks fantastic! One thing, pay close attention to the instructions and you shouldn't have take things apart again like we did in our assumptions. It is a great, functional desk. Enjoy.

The back is a particle board that is the exact color as the rest of the desk, just not solid wood. Would look ok if it showed.

The unit seems to be all solid wood (top, sides) the shelving is wood and veneers, I found the unit to be of top quality and would certainly buy it again if it was necessary to do so.

No. The doors, drawer front and sides, top, and exterior frame are solid wood. The side and back panels are veneer-covered particle board. The shelf, drawer bottom, and cabinet bottom are plywood. It is the coffee station at our office waiting room and has held up well after 9 months of use.

Although it looks like solid wood only some of it is solid wood but most is veneered. The make is higher quality than others we've tried. Hope this helps.

It is black, laminated particle board, with a woodgrain finish. It's really a very nice looking desk.

I think it is particle wood. We've had this desk for about two years and have no problem with it.

Nope, all solid wood. That said, the three sides of the bottom shelf and the bottom of the drawer are cabinet-quality plywood. And the top pieces, drawer face and doors aren't single pieces but smaller strip of wood laminated horizontally so they do look like a single board and retain the proper hardwood look.
