Are the vertical pieces actually solid wood? Thinking about refinishing in a lighter stain.

Yup, solid wood. Color of wood is a "red wood" color. Don't know if a lighter stain would work, but I'm not a carpenter.

The cabinet is solid wood has a natural light wood finish on it. Looks like it has a clear coat sealer on it. You might want to call the company customer service and ask them to be sure. They may even ship you one that has already been sanded with no finish on it. If you don't mind a little work, you could always lightly sand each piece and and apply your stain before assembly.

It is a relatively dark stain, so I would say it's more of a chestnut color. That said, we have dark cherry furniture and, while not a match, it looks fine. If your furniture is a light cherry, the piece won't be a close match.

It is stained the same color as the rest of the unit but is pressed material not wood. It doesn't look totally finished from the back but wouldn't look bad I would say. If you have someone handy, you could likely easily modify it to make it perfectly finished. We love love love our unit!

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.

Oops, I forgot to say they are solid wood with a veneer top. Beautiful work.

It's solid hardwood. It's stained very dark. It might be cherry, not sure. I was a bit disappointed in the darkness of the stain. I prefer a more natural look but the lazy susan is well made and works well.

The pieces are not solid. In fact, they feel hollow, like a hollow core door. This makes them lighter weight than say particle board. Not sure if the surface is real wood. Still quite attractive and reasonably sturdy.

This is bare wood ..you can paint the veneer if you so desire. I defaced stained and finished with a tongue oil worked very good. Used contact cement to glue to cabinets before sanding and finishing. We really like this and would purchase again.

The wood has a stain applied also some sort of finish. It's well crafted and heavy. Make sure cabinet is mounted on a stud for support

The main verticle post and some of the trimmings are solid wood. Other parts like some of the tray and drawer components appear to be a dense faux wood. None of it is the coarse particle board. In terms of the veneer, not sure, doesn't appear to by vinyl. Given all that, the piece does have a quality appearance. I'm pleased with ours as we always get compliments on it when we have guest over.

ONLY the legs (4) and support bits on the underside of this desk are solid wood. the rest is particle board with a veneer. if the table/desk top used to be solid wood, the desk i just received DID NOT. maybe this is explains the discounted price.

Absolutely not. It looks beautiful. I have the entire set, the lift top coffee table, 3 side tables, the taller cabinet and the sideboard. Our living room is done in a rustic look, and although these are inexpensive and not real wood, they look beautiful and are sturdy and well made. For the price.... you can not go wrong......D HALL

No it's more of a smooth surface. Just an F.Y.I it is not made of solid wood, it is made of particle board. It is a very nice piece but just thought you should be aware.

I'm pretty sure it is pressed wood with a dark stain. Despite this, it is an attractive piece. It does not look cheap.

Sorry for the delay in responding, just catching up with my email.I cannot be sure about what type of wood the pieces are made of.It seems to be a tight-grained, light hardwood, not softwood.Looks a lot like boxwood, especially the end-grain, but again, I cannot be sure.The dark pieces appear to be of the same type of wood, but stained, not painted.

Yes, it is solid wood. I have checked, and my wood pattern is completely different than the one in the photo, suggesting that there is a natural variation in the product.
