what material is the item made of, and what is the finish? If it's paper-type veneer, I'm not interested...

It's a laminate. Most likely on the cheaper side, pressboard mostly inside. It's cheap but doesn't look cheap once put together. I can email you pictures if you'd like. I bought it as a gift for my fiancé and he loves it. It's well constructed. We are happy with it and I have to be honest, I thought it was going to be a piece of junk but it's not! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

it is a particle wood. it isnt a standard thin paper veneer definitely nicer than that. this desk is perfect for my "spare office", although this is not the "classy" show desk if you are looking to impress yourself or others.

I would say it is wood veneer, not laminate. Not 100% certain but that it how it appears to me. The white coating is like paint, not laminate.

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.

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...

It seems to be solid wood, but the finish is of VERY low quality. My kid left a water bottle on it for a few minute and I have a bubbled up "ring" that would not go away. The table looks very good from afar, but it is not very durable.

I'm not sure it's wood at all. If so, it is a particle board covered with a very thin laminate? It's very attractive, I will say that, just be careful nicking or scratching it as the veneer might come off.

It is veneer. Both sides are finished. The back has a wood grain look fiberboard maybe. It's not the same as the sides but not just unfinished either. It's a nice heavy piece if furniture. We bought two plus the desk. We like them. Hope that helps!

It is particle board with a fake veneer. Serviceable but not very attractive.

Particle board & wood veneer. Very heavy. Have had for a year. Wears well. Looks good but not all wood. Wish it was.

The veneer is .030" thick including the adhesive. It is thick enough to lightly sand with care if desired (but not necessary). I had no problem with the installation and finishing of the wood, which perfectly matched the solid wood doors I constructed. FYI the wood is plain sawn - has the cathedral pattern. I would purchase it again without reservation.

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.

It's pressed wood with veneer but very high quality. Very heavy. Beautiful.

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

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.

It's particle board with a veneer. I think it looks pretty nice and it's very heavy. However the edges are a little fragile during assembly.
