It says all aluminum with MDF top so is the top Fiberboard? you should be able to tell by looking at the bottom. For me, it will get wet.

We didn't cover it camping the first time and it bubbled a bit.. The next one we covered with a plastic dollar store type cloth and it is fine.. Regular party type dampness hasn't been a problem

It is fiber board. The top is has a water proof coating. It can tolerate getting wet but leaving it outside and being wet all the time would damage the table.

I don't think our environment is particularly wet, although maybe summer will be damp enough to cause some rust. Ours doesn't actually get water on it. It looks fine and holds the few towels we need, but it might rust if left out in a garage or used in a damp basement.

To be honest, in the description it does say weather resistant.......I would imagine that might include moisture to a lesser extent, but I wouldn't let it get to wet from splashing. I'm not an authority on this subject but it's usually prudent to keep it as dry as possible. I wish I could be more helpful.

I would guess it is MDF with oak overlay, but couldn't tell you for sure without chipping away it. Very sturdy construction either way.

Most likely it was submerged.not recommended by mfg.this causes corrosion on wire Leeds that can break intermittently.

The legs, drawer sides and fronts, and the structure attached to the legs are solid wood. There is a wood veneer on the front and the rest is medium density fiberboard with a white finish. I can't tell if there is a thin veneer on it or just paint, but the appearance is good. I had never looked that closely before and was surprised that it is mdf.

It is weather proof, as far as I can tell. It's a sheet of plastic. No fiberboard or wood products. We keep ours under a canopy, but I would not be afraid of the surface getting wet. Great product - best camp kitchen we've ever had.

Medium Density Fiber Board is what MDF stands for. It is similar to the pressboard you might find in cabinets. It looks like real wood when you look at it but like I said in my review, its fine as long as you don't try to move it by the handles when it has something in it to make it heavier and is on carpet. The nails will begin to pull out. It is a very nice trunk for the price and I love how it looks in the family room area in my basement.

It's made of different materials. Product description says "Constructed of MDF with veneer and hardwood legs." This means that the legs are made of wood and the top is made of medium-density fibreboard (MDF) (an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure).

It is made from MDF (medium density fiberboard) with a hardwood veneer. The finish isn't durable and when it gets scratched any spilled water will wick into the MDF causing swelling. See the photo from my 12/5/2014 review.

This is not cardboard or any kind of fiberboard. It will be fine in the open. Rain won't hurt it.

I think is is probably MDF with a vaneer over it. I personally do not believe it would last outdoors, altho for indoor use it is remarkably sturdy. There might be a heavy duty varnish you could use for the wood, but there are hinges that would rust.

It is waterproof. The top is saggy, so water will pool at the eaves. My top collapsed the frame from the weight of this water, but the top was undamaged. I wish the top had failed first. If I was doing this again, I would put some grommets along the eaves to drain the water, which of course would lessen the area kept dry underneath.

It is made of MDF = medium-density fiberboard. Meaning, it is the cheap engineered laminated wood product that is widely used for in-stock cabinets (and other cheap furniture like this one) at big box stores that crumbles in no time. Bought it for the design to build with a better wood later.

No, it's more like a super strong cardboard. MDF is a medium density fiberboard, a man-made product. It's solid enough to act as a trunk but can't withstand much weight. You wouldn't want your kiddos climbing over it. The exterior finish is a very light veneer, almost like a reinforced cardboard so it scratches easily. Great if you don't have kiddos, otherwise I'd look for another option.

Sure would be nice to get a straight, no-BS answer to this question. Is the MDF covered in a real wood veneer, or a fake one such as vinyl?

Absolutely no MDF. I actually make a living as a carpenter and i must say its good quality, especially for the price!
