Is the veneer over real wood or manufactured wood?

I can not tell whether the material is real or manufactured wood. If it is real wood, then it is not the heavy type.

It is manufactured wood. Looks like particle board. I find it sturdy enough; I haven't had any issues sitting on it myself (150 lbs), nor has my husband who is 200 lbs.

Idk but it's not real heavy wood so it might be veneers. I'm just not good at telling the difference. I do wish it was made of heavier materials

It is manufactured wood but I have to say it is nicely done. I have had my desk for 6 months and I love it! It does not look cheap!

I think it is a mix of real wood and veneered particle board. But it is pretty good quality. I am pretty happy with it.

No, it's not. It has a pine veneer over MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard).MDF contains a mixture of wood solids, wax, and resin bonded together under high temperatures and high pressure to create a uniform wood-like product that is far cheaper than real wood. When furniture is sold unassembled, nowadays it's usually MDF. This is even the case for high-end "fine furniture" pieces (even ones that are already assembled).

Yes engineered wood. But, it looks so good. I have had nothing but compliments from people who have seen it.

Most definitely it is real wood veneer and is sanded, sealed and stained exactly like any furniture or cabinetry of quality can be.

The majority is pressed wood, but I was very happy with quality. The top has a nice pattern which may be veneer.

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...

Side panels are veneer - probably over particle board. It is structurally solid though.

i think it's real wood. it's a very nice piece of furniture--doesn't appear to be cheaply made. we bought three of them and they stack perfectly.

It is a veneer over some kind of soft wood. My recommendation is not to buy. It totally broke down in less than a year and the company refused to do anything. Spend a little more for a metal bed, I did.

It is not. At least I don't think so. I think it was made from pressed wood. It was made very well and had the look of real wood. It had a great finish and was easy to put together. They still look brand new (I bought two).

I don't know. It's sort of a thin Formica-like veneer over some sort of pressed wood, I'd imagine. The boards that form the sides, top, bottom and shelves are fairly thick and heavy. Very heavy. The 'beadboard' piece that forms the back is very thin, comes folded -- it looks nice but is not what I'd call 'wood.' That said I am very happy with these pieces. I ended up buying 14 of them to do a total makeover in my basement craft room and office and it's been a year now; they are perfect for my needs and very roomy and sturdy. Whatever they may be made of.

I believe it is veneer. It is a very nice bookcase. I like the looks of it.

It's real wood, maybe maple. I am happy with my purchase; however it did come the wrong hinge, which they replaced, I had to wait a few weeks for that. It had a few dings on it and there is a spot on the front where the wood glue is dried on the outside. Like some one put too much glue when they glued on the rosettes. I live with it cause I really like it, it's great for storage and I use it for a coffee table.

I'm confused, J Swick says its definitely a veneer over press board, but s Woody says its all wood except the back. We are hoping to find a piece of real wood as I have chemical sensitivities and particle board can outgas.
