What is the % composition of the hardwood/plywood headboard, footboard, and drawers? Are they made mostly of plywood or hardwood? Are they flimsy?

they don't seem flimsy. I don't know hardwood vs. plywood but it is definitely not particle board. It does not feel like a cheaply made bed.

They are plywood construction with a Hardwood veneer and know they are far from flimsy! Hope this help's Great Bed My wife and I love it, Mike

Overall the bed w/drawers is solid but the head board/sideboards feel flimsy. We used this bed only temporarily for college age guys.

Headboard is fully solid wood. Footboard is combination of solid wood, and then thinner wood inserts that could be stronger. But are nice looking and work with the bed. Just wish they were thicker. Overall really love the bed and think compared to the huge prices for other beds out there, this is a nice value. The drawers are awesome, but you must use the higher rail setting to use them.

The cabinet is not made out of solid hardwood. It is a composite. Solid hardwood cabinets are much more expensive. Having said that, it is a better looking and more polished composite than I expected. I did a fair amount of research and this is a good compromise of price and quality. As some of the reviews suggest, it's really easy to put together and looks like a more expensive piece than it is.

It is made of wood, although the bottom of the drawers may be MDF, but the assembly is very poorly done with useless glue. I dropped a drawer by mistake and it totally fell apart. Luckily I could glue it back together. As the old saying goes you get what you pay for.

ONLY the legs (4) and support bits on the underside of this desk are solid wood. the rest is particle board with a veneer. if the table/desk top used to be solid wood, the desk i just received DID NOT. maybe this is explains the discounted price.

Some of the parts appear to be a type of oak, but there are also plywood & particle board. It is a beautiful piece of furniture, difficult to assemble comes in three boxes all weighing over 70 pounds. I considered suicide before my entire family pitched it to help.

It's mostly particle board.. the main desk is heavy and sturdy but still just a dense particle board.

Sides, doors, top, lower piece and feet are solid, NOT particleboard. If it isn't real wood... it sure fooled me. Assembly was easy. Need at least two people to carry package, it's heavy!! It's a nice looking piece of furniture looks great in my family room.

Dear Lynn, The drawers are made of wood and are plain. You will need to place a tray liner in each drawer. Thank you.

Plywood and Hardwood Frame. The hardwoods are "lighter" species - looks like Poplar or similar.

The entire shelving unit is made of solid wood. No particle board in sight. It's a good buy for the $$ and it looks quite nice, too.

It is a mix of solid wood, particle board and plywood. Fortunately the particle board shredded in places not noticed from the front. So it is partially solid wood construction.

All particle board. The desk is fine but the hutch I have is sagging in the middle. Poor support.

I don't know what kind of wood the unit is constructed with, but it is not a cheap plywood, a hardwood and the top is like a cutting board hardwood (ash, etc.) A very nice unit and we have enjoyed it vzery much. It is an asset to any home.

There are some plastic parts inside the drawers and the back is more like a pressed wood, however, it is mostly all wood. It is high quality, easy to assemble and I am very pleased with my purchase.Thank you

I agree with previous comment, it's not hardwood. In fact, I would say it's probably not even pine. I suspect it's some [semi-soft] wood of asian origin. However, it seems sturdy enough for the purpose - a kids bed that will see plenty of abuse. It won't be a family heirloom but I think it will hold up until my soon is old enoungh to outgrow it. I am faily picky about having quality furniture and I am satisfied that I got what I paid for. Hope that helps.

We've had ours for almost 2 years now. Its holding up well. Lots of storage space. Drawers are glued, hardware is ok (not great, but not bad either). Particle board - but higher quality heavy built. Its about what you'd expect for something this size in the $1000 - $1500 range, we paid ~$1200 for ours. Overall it was definitely worth it for the price... saw other places online trying selling the same item for $2000 - $2500, not worth it for that price range.
