What is the veneer made of? I want this for toy/book storage, but if it's just a paper veneer I'm worried that it will start to look ratty quickly.

I've had these for over twenty years and they are still holding up, which is why I've ordered a set for my grandson's room.

It appears to be made of fake leather, over plastic (sounds likes plastic when in use). Quality is fairly good on the one I got. You probably cannot stack books and boxes on it, but normal use, it should last.

They are made of parawood---a hardwood from rubber trees, which has become increasingly popular in furniture because it's so durable. I have purchased other bookcases made of this and they really hold up well. The older ones I have are probably at least 15 years old and they still look amazing. They show absolutely no signs of sagging or wear. My son also has bookcases made of this wood and his are stacked more heavily than my own. His are in great condition as well and purchased at the same time as my originals. I have had no regrets or complaints about any of the 12 bookcases I've purchased for myself or as gifts over the years.

I don't know what it is made of, but my guess is compressed wood chips with some kind of veneer. Yes, there is room for a printer. The cubby holes can be eliminated, but there are holes there, for the installation, and the holes will show.

The reason I suspect this to be a veneer is that wasps have been able to eat into it by taking strips off the top. The top has also cracked. Good luck with yours....

Hmm, we have answers running the gamut here. Can the seller please respond? Solid wood or pressed wood with veneer?

It is mostly hard wood. There is some particle board used in construction of drawer slides. It is hard to tell if some of the parts are veneered but if they are it is with real wood not vinyl. I am really satisfied with mine it is sturdy and looks fantastic. I have owned it now for two years and would purchase again if I have the need.

It is wood veneer. general frame structure is good and wheels make moving easy. overall only 2 points of concern. 1. the physical size of the desk wooden surface is small. would have preferred something bigger. 2. the mechanism that allows for tilting the top is cheap.

I do think it is veneer, but it is very well done and quite attractive.I am very pleased with it.....It is a dark mahogany in color...

I do believe it is a combination of solid wood and veneer but I am not an expert. All I can tell you is that it is beautiful, fits perfectly in the corner space where I wanted to put it and that I have had many compliments on the unit.

Actually it is all wood - no composite material and no veneer that I can tell. But you would have a problem staining it. There is a nice clear finish on them and you would have to sand every part of it to get stain to adhere to it - and if you missed a spot, you would have blotches. You need to get something unfinished I think.

it's a veneer but I would rate the quality much higher than something from Target. The stand is fairly sturdy. Seems well-built.

Compressed wood. It's pretty heavy though. It has adjustable shelves so you could use it as a bookcase. The shelves in the door are not adjustable though.

I would call them "fiberboard". All bookcases of this type have a three-fold back panel that is a cross between solid wood and cardboard. The backing material does not detract from the overall appearance of the shelf. It looks and acts like solid wood after being nailed in place.

Its paper thin veneer over particle board. The particle board appears to be 90% ground cardboard with 10% sawdust.

It's wood veneer, but does NOT look cheap at all...looks like wood, and has a lovely grain to it. It is quite HEAVY, and took both my husband and I to move it into place!
