Is the cabinet real wood or is it pressboard ?

I'm not really sure. If it isn't, it certainly looks it. It is very sturdy and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

It is pressboard. It has held up well for a couple years but probably will not be a permanent piece of furniture. :(

It certainly looks and feel like real wood to me. It is heavy and solid and has held up very well.

I believe it is pressed board. I bought mine in 2013. I just took a shelf out to check and the short edges that you don't see are unfinished and show that they are pressed board. I couldn't tell about the rest of the boards, but I looked inside the holes for the metal pegs on the vertical side boards that hold the shelving; it looks like those might be pressed board as well. I'm not certain, however. But the grain of the wood and quality of this product is very good--not like some other kits for shelving that I have. The outer pieces all look like real solid wood--no edge is unfinished that I can see (can't check underneath now). The only complaint I have is the backing, which is a rather flimsy thin piece made to look like wood (typical in bookshelf kits). But it is inset slightly (nicely designed), with the top and side boards extending slightly out and a (pressed board) thick, finished horizontal cross piece in the middle to help brace the back; if you have this against a wall, it really doesn't matter about the backing. The hardware seems sturdy (shelving pegs, for example, are metal, not plastic). Overall, I am really satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone that would like some nicer shelving kits for storage.

It is real wood. For the price I was very impressed. Well designed, strong, looks great! It was for my mom and she loves it.

I just checked mine to be sure and it's real wood. It's quality wood and has a rich finish. I am very happy with the one I purchased.

The frame pieces and drawers are wood, but the majority is pressed board. We had water damage to ours and the insurance company said it could not be fixed, so replaced it.

It is pressboard, the top is also pressboard but covered with a marble colored laminate. It is a good deal for the price! It was fairly easy to assemble, it took me about an hour. It is a nice looking unit. It is an especially good deal with free shipping from Amazon prime!

Hi Ken, I would go with what Phyllis had to say. It's a pressed wood, but very sturdy for the cost! Easy to build too. I'm quite satisfied with all 4 of mine in the laundry room. I actually built them all my self. Hope this helped!

It is not pressed boards, but I believe it is cherry stained wood. It's heavy. I can tell you that. I bought it for my daughter-in-law and she loves it.

It is pressed wood. Sturdy, somewhat. The dresser is located in a guest room and not used that often.

I believe it is laminate. I am VERY happy with the cabinet...it holds a lot and is sturdy, looks very good. If you want to be sure about the wood part, this is their e-mail: service@techcraft.netGood luck!

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.

It was a gift for a baby shower... If I remember correctly it was pressed board. I had to send the first one back because so many of the edges were damaged... It is heavy too.. When put together it is a good looking piece of furniture in the babies room .... I hope this information is helpful...

Pressboard, but I must say it is very well made. For the price, you can't beat the quality. I am very satisfied with it.

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 is thin pressed board. It is much like cardboard but a lot stronger. This desk is heavy, very heavy. The backing is solid enough that it holds good, but thin enough to let you cut custom holes if you need. Hope it helps

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.

Yes, It is press-board. YES, IT IS VERY STURDY. I brought for my daughter , she has her flat screen TV on it. It's actually a beautiful piece of furniture. It really looks good in her living area. It is rich looking. For the price, it looks way more expensive. It is very functional and does just what it says it does. It takes time to put together but when finished looks fantastic.!! It looks like real wood when put together.
