Description says solid wood and veneers. Is it hardwood OR particle board? Is veneer real wood veneer OR cheap vinyl/paper 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.

The main verticle post and some of the trimmings are solid wood. Other parts like some of the tray and drawer components appear to be a dense faux wood. None of it is the coarse particle board. In terms of the veneer, not sure, doesn't appear to by vinyl. Given all that, the piece does have a quality appearance. I'm pleased with ours as we always get compliments on it when we have guest over.

It's black. Not sure about what kind of wood but it's definitely not particle board. For the price, it's a good product. I'm happy with my purchase.

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.

I just received this unit yesterday and assembled it last night. It is NOT wood. There are bits of wood here and there, but very little. It's fiberboard (MDF) with veneer. It actually looks quite nice, but given the fiberboard construction it is, as a previous comment suggested, very easily damaged. When something strikes the surface, it dents or tears the fiberboard and the veneer is crushed or scraped away. Mine, too, had some shipping damage, but not in a conspicuous enough location to send it back.

I believe it is a veneer. Plywood with wood-grain finish. Looks very nice when assembled. Very sturdy.

The legs are solid. Probably ash, but with veneer. The doors and paneling are most likely MDF with veneer. Understand your desires and I was in the same boat but eventually settled for this one on price vs. solid/custom wood and am pretty satisfied. Its done well and not a cheap veneer. Expect it to hold up pretty well.

Veneer is a thin layer of material glued to plywood or particle board to simulate hardwood.

Seems to be solid wood, I could not find any part that looked like veneer, maybe the back? The back is finished though. Very heavy, solid, well built.

It is mostly plastic-veneered particle board. It seems fairly stable and I expect it to work for several years but I will try to move it as little as possible. All that said it looks pretty good and we like it. How long it lasts will be a direct result of how hard we work it.

Real wood. It is also sealed and painted, but it is definitely too heavy to be particle board. It's a nice, simple desk with the sturdiness of something much more expensive/substantial.

It's particle board. I've have owned it for a few years now and it's held up very well. I recommend it highly.

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.

when it arrived, it said wood veneer; that is all I know; but it is not solid wood like the info seemed to indicate in the description.

Not all solid wood. Likely veneer over some particle board but not in highly visible areas and backing is more of a fiber board. It looks nicer than what you'd expect for the money! Very classic looking.

It is not solid wood it is veneer. the back is finished. It comes totally disassembled so it takes time to put it together. Both sides are the same. But, it is a nice piece of furniture for the price

Just like the description says, the top is solid wood, the rest of it is composite, covered with veneers. Very sturdy, and thick. One of the best purchases I have made.

You can't can't tell all surfaces are covered with the veneer. If I were venture a guess I'ed have say particle board.
