It is vinyl printed to look like wood with a dense sponge underneath about 1/2" thick

It's marble veneer. Very thin (~1/4" thick) slabs of marble glued to cover a thicker wood slab on the top and sides. Under the bottom the wood and glue or epoxy is visible, but you have to be under it to see. You can see on the sides where the edges of the marble veneer pieces meet if you look very closely, but otherwise it has the appearance of a solid marble slab. Setting tableware on it I can tell from the sound it is not solid stone, but not sure anyone else would notice.

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

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.

I believe it is wood veneer...I hv had it 8 months now and hv been very happy with it, especially for the cost

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

The vinyl "faux leather" surface is thin but with the cloth (felt like) backing that makes up this product, at rest, it is nearly 1/16 inch thick. However, when compressed between the fingers, it is definitely less than 1/16 inch. - but at rest, it looks virtually 1/16" thick.

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.

I just double checked mine and it has a dark felt backing for visual effect I'm guessing against the wood but non the less it's all real wood.

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!

Mine doesn't look like a veneer but if it is it is a good quality. To answer your question about a solid wood and veneer: Having been in the furniture business for 15 years many top line companies, such as Thomasville, use the combination to achieve a desired look you can't get from a solid wood i.e., swirls, butterfly look, heart shape etc. When done correctly it is a quality product. Hope this helps.

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 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.

Hi Brian. My husband said it does not appear to be veneer. He says that he cannot be certain of that though. Perhaps you could call the manufacturer for more details? I feel that the product is worth the money that we paid and has held up great and is perfect for the use we intended. Sorry we could not be of more help!

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

The wood appears solid and durable. It isn't a laminate. If a solid simple rich wood is what you are after this will not disappoint you.

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.
