What kind of wood is this? Is it all solid white or are there striations as it seems in the picture?

I don't know what kind of wood this is. It does have striations, but from any distance it appear solid white -- you only see them up close. I hadn't really noticed them until you asked the question.

In the one we received, you could see the imitation wood grain, or striations as you put it, in the veneer over the MDF. We expected solid white, so returned it for this reason.

It has striations, and looks very pretty in person. Nicer than the picture and very easy to assemble.

It's been quite awhile since I put these together, but I'm almost positive they were particle board. They do have striations/simulated wood grain in the finish, and are not just plain white. Have held up nicely though and are pretty solid and beefy as particle board furniture goes. I would have preferred solid white myself, but these are not obnoxious-looking as far as the striations. They don't really stand out at all unless you're up close. Even then, they're relatively understated and not cheap-looking as far as the grain.

It seems to be solid wood, but the finish is of VERY low quality. My kid left a water bottle on it for a few minute and I have a bubbled up "ring" that would not go away. The table looks very good from afar, but it is not very durable.

I'm not sure what kind of wood it is, but it is pretty with the stain color and varnish over it. We love ours, as we use it as an end table next to sofas with tall arms. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It looks like a pale maple on the top, but I'm not sure about the legs. The top is made of many narrow boards joined. The joins are smooth and, even with several coats of stain and poly with only light sanding before and between each coat, the finish stayed smooth and even. I would buy this table again. As I mentioned in my review, I painted the legs and stained the top a dark walnut - all of it Minwax.

The finish is a veneer, but the overall construction is solid. The back is finished, and the sides match. It looks more expensive than it is, and it fits in to our living room perfectly. Also, the slide-out tray and the compartment and shelf below are just bonuses. I believe the finish is a medium-dark cherry; we're using it where we have some medium oak trim, but it fits in nicely.

Hi HG, The case and shelves are veneered particleboard. The rails, stiles and molding appear to be solid wood. Neither boasts any definitive grain pattern but the darker finish would obscure that anyway. I'm a very serious hobbyist woodworker and, I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this product. I honestly didn't expect that. I had a broken hand when I assembled this and was able to do so with one hand (and a little creativity). Everything went together easily. In short, I've been pleased with the product.

im not sure what kind of wood it is...but it has a shiny glaze over the wood. i was very concerned about whether i was going to like it because i wasn't able to see it in person before getting it but i love it!! if you have an email address you would like to supply i can try to send you a picture from his room of the crib and you may be able to get a better idea of what it looks like and the finish.

It seems to be a decent quality but I'm not sure. Initially I thought it was a type of veneer and pressed wood but I think it's actually a solid wood.

This is solid wood. I have it in my son's nursery and we use it as a little side table next to the rocking chair. We stained our table to match the rest of the furniture nicely. Extremely happy with this product!!!

It appears to be solid wood but it is covered in scratches. It scratches easily. I love the look and efficiency of the desk and am very pleased with my purchase. It came damaged with a chunk of wood missing on the side so they gave me a little money off. Not hard to put together.

The unit seems to be all solid wood (top, sides) the shelving is wood and veneers, I found the unit to be of top quality and would certainly buy it again if it was necessary to do so.

As far as I know it only comes in white. Also I just put mine together and it si rather confusing to say the least. You also have to be careful not to split the wood.

Its pretty white with a little bit of gray a bit and a bit of beige in the marbling. I swill try to upload a photo since I just pulled out my stash for a project.

It's not yellow. It's white. I stained my using a dark, cherry-like oil based stain. It looks nice, but the parawood doesn't have nice graining like maple. All-in-all it's not a bad piece of furniture for the price.

It is solid wood (not sure what type) and no veneer. It's well-made, well-packed for shipping, and not too difficult to assemble.

i would call it a wood veneer. It's surface is smooth, you might have to rough it up a bit with sandpaper. The quality of this for the price is good. It is holding up well. The opening and closing mechanism is excellent....

I have the white one. The white veneer is on all sides. The core is plywood/particle board. Be careful when assembling not to chip the veneer.
