is the back panelling the cardboard type/folded up material or is it a solid piece of wood/board?

It is NOT cardboard. It's two separate panels of thin wood/board that fit together with a long thin piece of plastic which slips between them to hold them in place. The panels fit securely into a groove on the back part of bottom and shelf and slip into a groove in the underside of the top shelf. I also own the 37" storage shelf and it is joined together with 3 panels in the back.

Ours has three pieces of wood that snapped in together. They are made of the same material as the rest of it.

It's actually 2 pieces for the back. It's NOT solid wood. It's a little thicker then the normal folded type cardboard backings. The backings have to be a certain way, so make sure that it's lined up with the holes.

It is mostly solid wood with some of the larger sections of walls and roof being wood with high-density fiber board in the back. It is sturdily built, we have had it for just over a year now and all the parts are still intact and working despite seeing plenty of play from our 3 kids.

Although it is not real wood, I was impressed because it's pretty sturdy. Especially the back piece. Normally, it's just a thin piece of cardboard but this 1 has a heavy thick backboard that is just as heavy as the other pieces. I just got 2 of the 4 drawer chests & I'm praying that they are made the same way! I like it!

Yes, it is a cardboard. It looks pretty good, but it is indeed not wood. There are also around six flat round headed screws in the back through the backing and into the interior shelves. I took a picture of it but for some reason I don't see an option on this item to post customer pictures of the product.

It's like a heavy cardboard material with a shiny, plastic-like coating over it. It's very sturdy...not just a piece of cardboard that folds lol.

It is the typical cardboard type folded material, but it does not look bad at all. I have my bookcase in the office, and I am pleased with the appearance.

It is made of wood but I'm not sure what kind. it seems sturdy enough and it folds up quite nicely and fits in the closet. My daughter-in-law packs for a week when she's coming for a week-end and it holds up under that load. I've seen several in stores and this is as nice as those unless you have a lot of overnighters with kids who like to jump on things I think this work.

I'm not an expert, but I just took a look at the back panel and I'm pretty sure it's pressed wood, rather than cardboard. I like the stand very much. Good luck with yours.

I don't know. It's sort of a thin Formica-like veneer over some sort of pressed wood, I'd imagine. The boards that form the sides, top, bottom and shelves are fairly thick and heavy. Very heavy. The 'beadboard' piece that forms the back is very thin, comes folded -- it looks nice but is not what I'd call 'wood.' That said I am very happy with these pieces. I ended up buying 14 of them to do a total makeover in my basement craft room and office and it's been a year now; they are perfect for my needs and very roomy and sturdy. Whatever they may be made of.

The back is a more solid pressed wood/particle board and is inset into the back- it does not just nail on and hold the whole thing together.

It is pressed wood, not cardboard. This is a great looking unit when assembled!

Jim, the board is solid wood. It's been a great purchase. Well worth the price. I may give one to each of our sons and daughters-in-law.

the back part in the middle is black, thick, cardboard type material that you tack on with little tiny nails. the parts behind doors are finished like the front. as a whole, this unit is very solid for the price. I am happy with mine

Yes, solid wood. There was no particle board or pressed wood included in the main furniture pieces. The backing however, is cardboard that is tacked on with small nails.

The back is thick particleboard. This thing is very solid, sturdy, heavy, and beautiful! I expect it to be passed down in my family for several generations.

The center portion has a cardboard backing the sides is particle wood back. Hope this helps out.

Solid, wood, but it is Pine and very soft. Happy for the price, but it will get dinged even if you put a pacifier down hard
