I'm assuming the veneer is over MDF - is it the new MDF with lower emissions, or the older MDF?

It's mdf with a outer coating that makes it look like wood. I don't remember where it was made, but I can say it's sturdy and my daughter has played with it every day for the last 4 months and the only thing that is wrong with it is the paint on the inside of the sink is scratching off from vigorous "stirring"

Korra,It seems to be MDF, but a higher grade than cheap furniture. Every piece fit together extremely well, and it looks better than one might expect. Target and Best Buy actually carry the exact model if you want to take a look before purchasing. Hope this helps.

I know it is MDF, it is not vinyl veneer. However, the back of the unit is a rigid piece of cardboard that is affixed to the frame by nails. Had I known this beforehand, I probably wouldn't have bought it. But I have it up against a wall, so no one sees the cardboard.

The edges are the same material, but the center is a much thinner material from the rest the MDF. But it does have the same veneer/finish. So it can be used somewhere the back would be visible. I use this as a printer table. Drilled a hole through the thin back panel for cables for the modem and router.

Yes, mdf & particle board my husband says. It is very sturdy & looks great. Looks like a quality piece of furniture. I am pretty pleased with it & really for the price you aren't going to find solid wood. My husband & I put it together, took about 2 1/2 hours. He was impressed with the instructions, & how well everything fit together. I would purchase it again.

I think it is MDF. It is fully painted and nice and solid, but there isn't one speck of wood showing. I like it.

Sure would be nice to get a straight, no-BS answer to this question. Is the MDF covered in a real wood veneer, or a fake one such as vinyl?

It's all wood, and my grandchildren love putting things in the pocket in the center. I don't know what MDF means. Sorry!

I would also go with the former model. This one has less thicknesses. It is sturdier because of what it is made of, but it doesn't do everything I would want it to.

I was made in China, it looks good but the veneer is very very very thin (easily chips or can be scratched through to the MDF). There was no obvious formaldehyde smell.

It is MDF. The table is pretty sturdy- holds my machine fine. The wheel casters are pretty flimsy though, I may replace mine with something stronger.

As far as I can tell just the base is MDF. The rest appears to be solid wood and feels quite solid too.

It is made of MDF = medium-density fiberboard. Meaning, it is the cheap engineered laminated wood product that is widely used for in-stock cabinets (and other cheap furniture like this one) at big box stores that crumbles in no time. Bought it for the design to build with a better wood later.

It is way less bulkier. The old model looks very square and bulky at the bottom where this looks more modern and secure.

I think it's mdf but very heavy duty. If you can put it together yourself, I think it is worth it. But I had to hire someone to put it together and also hang it up because it is very heavy, so it adds up. I think if it was put together when shipped, it would be a better value.

MDF is medium density fibreboard (you can read more about that on Google) but no it is not solid hardwood, however it is sturdy.
