Is this real solid hard wood or particle board, medium density fiberboard - pressed wood with glue? I'm looking for a natural wood product - thanks.

I have had mine for over a year and can't quite remember the composition. They are not particle board and they are very heavy. Look nice and are a smaller size which fit our lake house guest room just fine. Very happy with them and would purchase again.

Depends. I ordered two of them and got two entirely different products. You can read my earlier review (12/24/2013) if you want the whole sordid story.

It appears to be real hardwood veneer over some kind of lesser wood. Not particle board or MDF, as it is not that heavy. Nicer than something you would get at "wally world"; but, not what I would consider high-end furniture. Good value for the price.

It is a great value. In a. Guest bedroom so does not get a lot of use. Looks as good now as it did when we bought them (3 years ago).

This is real wood and heavy! The little tray that comes out to hold a drink or something is not wood and has a washable surface...it is a great product!

I think it's a wood veneer, but it's heavy and looks very good. The back is made of wood and not particle board or plywood, and the whole piece is heavy like solid wood. It just looks like a nice piece of furniture.

Yes, it's real wood, not pressed. I think it may be pine because it is lightweight.

It is pressed wood. MDF, I believe. I received mine with large split in part of the frame, but, I wood glued and put a vice on it as I needed something right away. In spite of that, the price was right and I'm happy with it.

It is pressed fiber board, at least a 1/4" thick, and very sturdy. This piece is very attractive and well built. My handy man put it together in about 20 minutes.

It appears to be solid wood. It's certainly not that pre-pack sawdust and glue stuff. It's good and solid and despite there being no assembly instructions included, I still managed to put it together within 1 hour. The finish is a little thin and scratches easily, but its nothing some walnut oil can't fix. Over all, I'm very pleased with this purchase

It is from press board. It looks like nice wood from the images they use to promote it. If you install it correctly it will be a sturdy piece but I was disappointed because the instructions weren't clear and I damaged it right at the beginning of putting it together. I asked to return it because I thought it was real wood and the color was more black. The company wouldn't return or refund my money which I thought was not good for business but they did say they would send replacement parts. It's a 50 - 50 chance if it will pass your taste?

I don't believe it's real wood, it's like a pressed plastic'y wood. The color is dark brown/blackish. It's been on our wall in the office for a while with quite a few things in it. So far it's holding very well and we are happy with it

Thank you for your question. It's made from MDF (pressed wood with a smooth veneer surface) Thanks for looking! Home Wishes

I think it has some solid wood pieces and some MDF, which is denser/better than regular particle board. It looks nice once assembled and is very sturdy, even without using the glue on the joints.

It is particle board with veneer. I thought it was going to be solid wood but really nice. Sauder replaced some particle board damaged in shipping for free via 3 day UPS. Don't worry about sag though. The front rails which are solid wood will keep the shelves from sagging.

Definitely not particle board, but might be MDF with wood laminate. Hard to tell. Looks and feels like wood, though. It's very heavy (shipping weight is 63 lbs) and sturdy.

It is particle board however it looks like real wood and is very sturdy. We are pleased with our purchase and recommend.

The entire piece looks like real solid wood...no particle board is visible. It is a heavy, beautiful piece that I have enjoyed for 4 or 5 years already.

It is real solid wood and we love ours. We've had it now for several years and it's been great for us. Scary to buy something like this online but it has been great for us. In fact we had a neighbor tell us the other day that they wanted to get one just like it because they liked ours so much. Good luck.

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.

It is not made of cheap particle boards like the majority of cheap bookcase in the market. This unit is Made in USA with MDF. Besides the material, the molding and trimming included in the package will cover the MDF and you cannot tell it is not hard wood. Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres. This book case is solid as a rock. I read few negative review from people that either have not assembled it right or simply got some other product. Mine is pretty much indestructible.

Particle with veneer. There are a couple of pieces that are solid, but it is mostly veneer. It's not a terrible piece, but just know that it is definitely not solid wood.
