Is the finish a coating on top of MDF, or is it stained wood? Are the sides of the unit MDF or solid wood?

It is solid stained wood including the sides. It is very well built and beautiful.

I'm not sure if it's stained wood or just a finish coating, you should ask the seller. I will tell you that the inside of the drawers and storage cabinet are the same color as the outside, not just plain wood. The drawers are not dovetail style. The unit is very solidly built and if is just stained wood, it is very even. No brush strokes, etc.

Not sure. If it is marked it is on the underside that I can not see unless I take everything off of it. I can tell you it is solid wood, very sturdy and a beautiful finish. I am very happy with it. Perfect for my small space.

Well, I don't know what MDF is, but these at least look like real wood. I am very happy with the quality--I'm basically using two of them for plant stands and gave the biggest one away to my friend who helped me put them together because he and his wife have their house decorated in Mission style. They are very attractive and I have gotten a lot of compliments on them.

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 made very well. My granddaughter love this kitchen. She's had it for a year now and it still looks new.

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.

Medium Density Fiber Board is what MDF stands for. It is similar to the pressboard you might find in cabinets. It looks like real wood when you look at it but like I said in my review, its fine as long as you don't try to move it by the handles when it has something in it to make it heavier and is on carpet. The nails will begin to pull out. It is a very nice trunk for the price and I love how it looks in the family room area in my basement.

parts are solid wood and parts are mdf. The top is solid wood and the back is cardboard that looks like wood. We liked the table, but we added a piece of plywood on the back and stained it to match. Nice small table for the price.

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

i believe its wood like mdf with a skin over it. i'd have to cut it in half to really tell though.

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.

I don't have the box anymore but I know it isn't real wood. Definitely would say it's mdf. It's really appears and feels solid though.

It's a stained finish. I've had it out side for almost a year and it looks as good as when I purchased it.

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

In the one we received, you could see the imitation wood grain, or striations as you put it, in the veneer over the MDF. We expected solid white, so returned it for this reason.

It's mostly MDF (sawdust, glue, veneer) with some light solid wood pieces as far as I can tell.

It's mostly hardwood, but there is some MDF used on the tops and sides of the chest and desk.
