Is the cabinet made out of plastic? If not, then what is the material? Is there an odor when the unit is on? Thank you.

The cabinet is not made out of plastic, it's wood. There is no odor when unit is turned on. We bought it last Jan. 2013 & it helped us save on our heating costs. We just recently started to use it for this heating season. We highly reccomend the infrared heater.

There is no odor when they heater is running. Surprisingly it is made up of a wood box. It also stays cool on the outside while pumping out IR energy. It is all it claims to be. I was in a motorhome 20 degrees outside and it kept up to keep me comfortable in most areas of the mobile home. The dog loved it also!

Cabinet is a wooden product- looks nice. I dust it just like any other piece of furniture. Heater is an outstanding item. I now own two of them. The only odor is when you first plug in and start it . The odor is short term and not horrible. Read the book prior to start up and your love this heater for years to come! Five plus stars for this product!

Ours had no odor. Just the plastic-type smell maybe the first day after unwrapping it. It's very functional and I've recieved lots of compliments

It is fine, I do not notice any smell, although it is under the sink area. I do not notice a smell where it is located. Yes, it is a plastic/rubber material. I like it!

If the cabinet is plastic then it's a very good imitation of oak wood. My phone cabinet looks like wood and feels like wood, but I wouldn't bet the ranch that it isn't laminated particle board. It could also be composite material but unless I take it off the wall and cut it apart I can't say for sure what it's made of. I do believe though that there is oak wood in the cabinet construction and it's appearance it very good. However I don't give it great marks on it's operational abilities. The speaker phone no longer works and it doesn't do a good job on volume control. The ringer was so low I had to buy an external ringer so I knew when the phone rang.

Hi, Mason,No. It is pretty much what you see. Interestingly, the shelves have a slight cut-out at the inside point of where the door swings when the door is opened. Other than that, it is a straightforward cabinet - all the "wood" is thin, but, you most likely won't be putting anything very heavy or large in/on the shelves. For your and your family's health, I would suggest you open the box/package outside, if possible. There is always a very strong smell of formaldehyde in/on furniture that comes from Asia, I suspect, because of pests that may hitch a ride on the boat. Leaving it outside for awhile and washing it down with hot water and mild detergent should do the trick. Hi, Mason,No. It is pretty much what you see.

Mine didn't really have a strong odor to it, but it did smell of plastic , but have no fear that goes away pretty quick, it's most likely from the heat of shipping containers and such, after one use mine was good to go, I have four of em and they are all okay now, I hope this helps Vanessa.

You've probably already decided whether or not to purchase this, but I wanted to respond in the event others have the same question. The answer is a definite "no". I've owned this cabinet for well over a year, and I would still probably give it a solid 4 stars, but over time the plastic shelves have begun to droop dramatically with only the storage of hand tools. I'm sure others, who have owned the cabinet longer, have had a similar experience. Unfortunately, it is the nature of plastic to fatigue and stretch under stress and over time.

This cabinet is made from pressed wood. It is not solid, real wood. Once it is put together though, the cabinet is sturdy and the sliding doors work well.

Hello,Probably laminate. It had a very strong odor when it arrived which took days to dissipate. I couldn't close a couple of the openings so Amazon was good about giving me a discount. It took me 2 afternoons to assemble with a screw. The unit looks nice and holds most of my CDs and DVDs. Good luck!

the grill is plastic, but you can paint it...I would just use a good shellac base primer first so the paint will stick well, and make sure not to plug the holes with paint...this unit really moves some air and you CAN NOT HEAR IT hardly at all unless you listen for it....Best fan I have ever seen or owned!!! I can fee the air getting sucked from under the bath door, where I have about a half an inch of space between the tile floor and bottom of the door.

Yes it is, I love the cabinet...it looks nice. The only thing I didn't like was the weird connectors, but once I figured them out it wasn't too bad.

I don't remember having this problem. I have had this for over a year and I don't smell the plastic smell. I love this little heater. Works as well as it did the first day we bought it!

I purchased this cabinet about a year ago. I absolutely Love it! It does not have any odor, or smell to it at all. The only regret that I have is that I wish it was deeper. But, It is beautiful and I received many compliments on it.

We just installed ours about 3 months ago. It is made out of wood (albeit a little thin) and painted white. The drawers are made out of a varnished pine. The countertop is beautiful. The fixtures are high quality and made with no plastic. It is a great buy for the money.

Dunno about the how of it, but I haven't noticed any smell from the oil. Or from the comb, come to think of it. And yep, it's plastic. Or plastic looking. But it's really sturdy. I outta know, as I can break just about anything if I'm not careful. And I'm rarely careful.

Joanne, the trim is silver. A rather nice piece. Two things to be aware of: The drawer pulls are cheap plastic and the screws are a bit too short. I bought something else and instantly upgraged the cabinet. When I unpacked the cabinet the room instantly filled with a strong chemical odor. I had to keep the cabinet outside for several days. At the end of the day, I happy I bought the piece.

The plastic was molded, it should mot smell, so I would have been more worried about electricity burning something to release odors, which was why I returned mine- the electronic circuitry failed...and it would not shut off...
