Particle board/engineered wood or really solid hardwood? What is the veneer? Seems heavy for real wood-particle is heavier.

Hi HG, The case and shelves are veneered particleboard. The rails, stiles and molding appear to be solid wood. Neither boasts any definitive grain pattern but the darker finish would obscure that anyway. I'm a very serious hobbyist woodworker and, I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this product. I honestly didn't expect that. I had a broken hand when I assembled this and was able to do so with one hand (and a little creativity). Everything went together easily. In short, I've been pleased with the product.

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.

Doors are solid wood. Rest of cabinet veneer over particle board. Don't know veneer would guess some wood like birch or ash - little figure, smooth, no pores. It is a dense particle board and therefore it is heavy. I don't think you will find solid wood in this price range.

Not sure what's real wood and what's engineered. Actually, it matters not. The appearance of this cabinet is so near to real wood and of such good quality, I'm actually amazed. It went together easily and matches other wood furniture in the room so well that it actually enhances the real-wood look of it. I'm happy with it and I'm especially please that my wife is, too.

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.

We really think wood with some type of pattered laminate overlay. It was too heavy to be particleboard. We have put it in storage and trying to remember. I thought it was better than our local craft and hobby store could offer. Our daughter played with it every day. Highly recommend and would purchase again. My husband is very handy and it did take a little over half a day to assemble. Hope this helped

particle board. Real Wood would be far more expensive. VERY STURDY, Very well made.

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.

I have not seen any particle board. There is veneer, however. I've had it over a year and am quite pleased. This desk is VERY heavy.

It's wood veneer, but does NOT look cheap at all...looks like wood, and has a lovely grain to it. It is quite HEAVY, and took both my husband and I to move it into place!

It's heavy particle board with a wood veneer. And...mine is lined with cedar. ;)

I don't know but is is actual wood and not particle board. We stained it a dark, almost black, color and it turned out beautiful.

I think it's a wood veneer, but it's heavy and looks very good. The back is made of wood and not particle board or plywood, and the whole piece is heavy like solid wood. It just looks like a nice piece of furniture.

It is particle board, so it is heavy for sure, but it came packed extremely well withno shipping damage to any of the finishes whatsoever...I amvery pleased with my purchase and the quality of the hardware, etc.

It's definitely pressed wood (particle board). Wasn't as nice as I thought it would be. Faux granite, particle board -- pain in the a$$ to put together.

The previous answers to B.Y.'s question are ambiguous. Even particle board is predominantly wood. I'm asking if it's natural wood or is it just sawdust and glue?

The entire piece looks like real solid wood...no particle board is visible. It is a heavy, beautiful piece that I have enjoyed for 4 or 5 years already.

Nothing unusual about the construction of this piece of furniture. Go to just about any furniture store and you will find that "mostly real wood" simply means particle board is used where ever possible to save cost. There is no obvious flaw in the construction or design of this file cabinet, and I consider it sturdy enough to handle many years of regular use.

This desk is hardwood, not veneer. It is a bit heavy. . . This was a deciding factor for me. . .

Basic construction is particle board, but this is a very solid, well built unit. This is a major step beyond stuff like Sauder with which you may be familiar. Visible surfaces are either wood (such as doors and feet) or veneer as on the top.
