what type of material is the backboard made of? I'm not looking for Acrylic, I would like tempered glass

It's not acrylic. It's Makrolon. A poly-carbonate. Much stronger than acrylic.

Its definitely not glass, and the "bounce" off the backboard is not the same as glass. The backboard material actually deadens the shot somewhat. The reaction to spin seems to be relatively same, but is somewhat diminished.

I believe it is acrylic. It is not tempered glass. I doubt you would be happy with glass as it is heavy enough as it is.

It is not acrylic it is a step below according to the lifetime website. It is a poly-carbonate, Makrolon, stronger then acrylic but not as good of a bounce off the back board. Acrylic is closer to tempered glass.

Im not sure but I think its acrylic. It seems thick, but I dont think its glass.

Particle board is the backing. The shelves and frame appear to be wood but don't quote me because I didn't research the material, just needed it to display some nick nacks.

The entire piece is real wood. The back panel seems to be laminate. None of the item is made of particle board/mdf.

the back is the thin board like what you find in Ikea type drawer bottom, not quite wood but not cardboard either. I hope that helps.

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.

The whole back cover is coated with glass I think. My back cover shattered and I just ordered the rear cover. If you order the back door glass cover that is all you need to fix the broken glass

The first one that got shipped to me was completely cracked. I'm pretty confident that it's tempered glass, since I was able to dispose of it very safely. The pieces mostly stayed together in big chunks despite being spider-webbed with cracks. BTW, they sent me a new one quickly & at no charge.

It is wood. It's very sturdy. Of course the backing is the thin cardboard type material.

I don't think it's tempered glass. However it has a nice beveled edge all around and it is lightly tinted. Very nice. I'm very happy with all three tables I bought from this set and everyone really likes them and compliment me on them.

It is made of probably some type of particle board that looks like wood. I can't tell the difference. It's nice and worth the money. Looks high end. Doesn't look cheap. Just order it....you will love it.

The board definitely does "not" have a matted finish. You can see images of the surrounding room on the face of the glass. It doesn't bother me, but this probably isn't the board for you if you need non-glare.

The back is a particle board that is the exact color as the rest of the desk, just not solid wood. Would look ok if it showed.

I believe it is tempered glass. It is strong and thick and should last for years.

Acrylic. You can purchase precut 16X20 glass at Home Depot for a few dollars.

It is made of fiber glass type material. When you have it shipped make sure to open it and check for cracks- we had to have ours re shipped bc the delivery company dropped and cracked it.

I think it's a wood veneer, but it's heavy and looks very good. The back is made of wood and not particle board or plywood, and the whole piece is heavy like solid wood. It just looks like a nice piece of furniture.
