Particle I think. I have been ver pleased with this unit. It and the baskets are very durable.

Particle board mostly. It's really nice though & has been perfect to keep my CO collection in.

The unit appears to be solid wood. Maybe I got lucky, but I'm really happy with this shelf. I have mine loaded up with all kinds of stuff, including a 10lb Alienware laptop. No signs of sagging or fatigue. If you read my review, I mention the only quality issue I found.

Particle board but is very sturdy I have had no problems with this tv stand and is easy to assemble!

Yes it's wood. I'm a round corner fanatic & the cut corners on the top shelf show wood grain, not particle board. Also, if you look where the little plugs to hide the screws go, you can see it is wood.

Nope, all solid wood. That said, the three sides of the bottom shelf and the bottom of the drawer are cabinet-quality plywood. And the top pieces, drawer face and doors aren't single pieces but smaller strip of wood laminated horizontally so they do look like a single board and retain the proper hardwood look.

It's solid wood but drawer bottom is pretty thin and interior shelf and bottom are laminated wood. Still a great piece.

The shelves itself are a thin particle board but the trim in the front (almost 2 inches) is also in tbe back of the unit as well.

Your shelf should be real wood. In my opinion the screws won't hold in particle board. It is very strong, but Still, the screws that attach it might not hold a lot of weight. Also - under the shelf would need to be flush. Hope this helps.

Looks to be solid wood though joined to form complete shelves with a decent finish though the middle shelf was slightly separating where it was joined. Mine came with a missing insert for one of the legs where the caster inserts into but couldn't get the company to respond and forget trying to return it once you unpack it..

it's still made out of particle board, but I felt like everything was very sturdy and tough. My family has altogether bought 4 of these and have had zero issues with the quality. Shelves are thick and there's plenty of supplies in the box.

The entire peice, including the shelves are solid wood. There is a piece that slides in the back to accommadate cords, etc that is a cheaper piece of wood. But that's it.

It has solid wood top and shelf. The sides and cabinet doors are your standard "press" wood.

definitely particle board. It is an OK piece if it is not going to get a lot of use.

At that price it's not real wood. It's some sort of composition board covered with a hard wood-grain plastic, similar to Formica. It's a lot better than particle board covered with vinyl like you might get at Walmart. The shelf seems very rigid, so I don't expect it to sag like plywood or particle board.

Unfortunately none of the parts are solid wood. It's all pressed wood with a sturdy finish though. I have had this shelf for a year and it has held up. No dings or chipping. For the price it's a great piece.

Laminate, so be careful how much load you put on the shelves, they will sag noticeably.

Basic construction is particle board, but this is a very solid, well built unit. This is a major step beyond stuff like Sauder with which you may be familiar. Visible surfaces are either wood (such as doors and feet) or veneer as on the top.
