Is this solid wood or cheap particle board?

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.

It's particle board with a veneer. I think it looks pretty nice and it's very heavy. However the edges are a little fragile during assembly.

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.

It is a particle board, but surprisingly sturdy. It slides in slots all the way around to hold it securely.

It is particle board but very heavy and sturdy, very nice looking when assembled.....assembly is a bit of a challenge....but if you take it slow and easy. I am 74 years old and did it by myself....took about 4 days.

Not sure of the exact type of wood, but definitely solid, not particle or plywood like. It is very sturdy.

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

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's definitely particle board but it's very sturdy- not like IKEA. I've stood on it a few times (@230 lbs) and it didn't budge.

It is solid wood. This is an extremely nice set. Well worth the money. I absolutely love mine.

It's fully particle board! It has a cardboard backing. Nothing seems to be wood these days unless you make it yourself.

It is not solid wood. It's particle board like most all tv stands in this price range. Thus far I haven't noticed any longevity issues (though I haven't had it for more than a few months) and it seems like it will last longer than the stand it replaced.

It is not solid wood, and I do believe it is a type of particle board because it is not very heavy. I do love this piece of furniture and it looks much nicer in person. I use it as a liquor cabinet. Hope this helps!

It's solid wood for the most part. The base of the cabinet is particle board. Nice piece

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 mostly plastic-veneered particle board. It seems fairly stable and I expect it to work for several years but I will try to move it as little as possible. All that said it looks pretty good and we like it. How long it lasts will be a direct result of how hard we work it.

It feels like real wood, it is heavy, i think it is probably particle board, but it does not look or feel cheap
