What is the base made of: particle board or solid wood?Is the wood covered by anything (such as a plastic wood grain cover) or is it stained wood?

From the manufacturer's description "The sturdy body is crafted from medium-density fiberboard (MDF)..." So it is particle board. We have had one for close to a year and it is holding up like new. It does seem to be "sturdy" particle board - has a feel of real wood.

it's all particle board. The veneer isn't very thick and scratches easily. I am very disappointed with this piece.

I don't know what the base of the top is .. I imagine it's probably particle board. The rest of the tray is all solid wood (and has a nice finish). The top (and the sides of the top) are covered with a faux marble laminate. The underside is stained to match the wood and looks good too. I have only owned these for a few months and used them a half dozen times, but they seem to be holding well. I don't plan to use them that much, so I'm hoping they'll last awhile before they start showing wear. I'm very pleased so far.

Not all solid wood. Likely veneer over some particle board but not in highly visible areas and backing is more of a fiber board. It looks nicer than what you'd expect for the money! Very classic looking.

It is probably particle board, however there is a protective covering on the bottom of the table so I can't tell exactly what it is. The wood is protected from the elements by the covering so I believe it will hold up well. It is very well made and I am extremely please so far.

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 do believe it's particle board, no worse than some of the cheaper IKEA stuff. (I just wrote a review for this product.)

Real wood. It is also sealed and painted, but it is definitely too heavy to be particle board. It's a nice, simple desk with the sturdiness of something much more expensive/substantial.

It's particle board, but it has lasted through one move and will hopefully survive another. The only thing wrong with it after 2.5 years is one peeled side of one board. (The edge trim has peeled off.). It's very sturdy, aside from that.

The material is wood particle board, which is essentially wood chips compacted and glued together. It still is a heavy piece, and looks nice, just be prepared for possible broken/cracked legs. I had to re glue some of the legs.

Mostly real wood. A very small portion is particle. Bought this for my 4 year old and we absolutely love it!!!

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.

It's made pf particle board . It is not to hard to put together if you pat attention to the finished edges and the non finished edges . It actually is sturdy and looks noice in the room we put in .

It claims to be wood. It is NOT solid cherry wood. (Wouldn't that be lovely?) It is particle board covered with laminate.

It difficult to tell. I would say hardwood. It's very well constructed. It's too well constructed to be particle board, in my opinion. It already comes almost completely assembled, so that's why it's difficult to say.
