What size is the base plate? Is it the same type of MDF? Is it fairly heavy?

The base plate is 11.75" x 10.5". I do not know the weight, but it is quite substantial and supports my heavy HSU Research speakers. It is the same MDF with a nice beveled mitre look.

i think its about the same size, maybe slightly larger, but a fair bit heavier. I actually like the weight, feels sturdy.

I use it to cut holes in 3/4 mdf. I wouldnt try cutting much thicker. the plate pins are weak

I know it is part particle board with a laminate and I believe there are parts that are also mdf (Medium-density fibreboard). It is very heavy. The delivery man said jokingly not to order anything this heavy again because I live on the second floor of a two story building.

IF the MDF is "tight-grained", I would think so. I have not used it with anything but solid wood.

this table is made from MDF, but it is very sturdy and has some weight to it. It's not flimsy.

The cabinet is made of the MDF board. However, the top piece is a bit heavier and is of high quality and the sides are your normal MDF. The quality is good and is a very sturdy cabinet. I hope this will help.

The unit is made of MDF (medium density fiberboard) which is denser and heavier than the cheaper common particleboard with a laminate on top

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.

Absolutely no MDF. I actually make a living as a carpenter and i must say its good quality, especially for the price!

Yes this stand is quite heavy. Larger than I though but very durable. They include a sand bag as well to help counterweight. I regularly use this with a 5' octabank without any issue

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 looks to be MDF. if you arent sure what that is just give a call to the local home depot or Lowes. I dont know the actual meaning of MDF but I know what it looks like. They are also wrapped in a very thin vinyl. I have 2 of them and they have both held up great. There are alot of steps involved in the assembly of them but in the end it makes them very strong and well built.

No, it's more like a super strong cardboard. MDF is a medium density fiberboard, a man-made product. It's solid enough to act as a trunk but can't withstand much weight. You wouldn't want your kiddos climbing over it. The exterior finish is a very light veneer, almost like a reinforced cardboard so it scratches easily. Great if you don't have kiddos, otherwise I'd look for another option.

I am not aware of any different bases. This is just a good rigid walking cane when assembled.

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.
