what is the backboard made of?

The back board is made of a 1 inch thick piece of wood that does well with off the backboard shots.

I think its just a very sturdy plywood. Its very heavy and durable. We've never had problems with the balls bouncing off it or it breaking in anyway.

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!

The back is made of the usual fiber-board stuff. I am VERY pleased with our bookcases (2 of them) -- they are extremely sturdy, attractive, and, after nearly a year, are showing absolutely no signs of warping, leaning, bowing, sagging, or looking "cheap" in any way. As long as they are full of books and against a wall, you can't really see the backing, anyway, though it does have an attractive wood pattern.

It's particle board. I've have owned it for a few years now and it's held up very well. I recommend it highly.

It is made of a heavy paper board. It is also fairly heavy due to the length of it. It is the size of a traditional front door. I think it is a nice product.

It is wood. It's very sturdy. Of course the backing is the thin cardboard type material.

It's fiberboard but it is very well built. I'm extremely impressed with the quality for the price.

The entire piece is real wood. The back panel seems to be laminate. None of the item is made of particle board/mdf.

It's press-board. Just a cardboard back. It is not exactly what I would call sturdy. I am afraid to move it from where it is currently sitting in my home.

Backboard is solid. The paint is coming off of the back board though. Rest is very sturdy.

I'm confused, J Swick says its definitely a veneer over press board, but s Woody says its all wood except the back. We are hoping to find a piece of real wood as I have chemical sensitivities and particle board can outgas.

Hey,I just ordered it, and I got 2 backboards and the balls are rubber. They are inflatable with an airpump. Hope this helps.

The board is wood with a fabric cover. The legs are metal with rubber stoppers on the ends.

It is made of pressboard, and be warned that the underside of some of the pieces (top included) are not finished. But it is incredibly sturdy and well designed.

It has a sturdy backboard that matches the finish of the desk, but I put mine against a wall anyway because you can tell the backboard is not hardwood. Once assembled, it is a very nice piece of furniture.

The back is made out of cardboard. The rest of the unit is made out of some kind of wood material that looks like real wood.

I believe it's MDF (particle board). It has a nice semi glass dark cherry finish to it, and it has a good weight to it, feels very solid.
