What type of material is this drawer made out of?

I agree with J. Marshall about the material. We use these to send confidential business documents to an offsite storage facility because they are much sturdier than even "better" bankers boxes. Whenever we recall those from storage, the plastic is tearing & breaking. These seem to hold up way better. Hope this helps!

Feels like heavy particle board or plywood with an interior cloth covering and an exterior of 'anti-slip' textured ruber. Metal reinforces the corners and seems to add a good bit of structural integrity. I have a little cat cubby on top of mine and after two~ months it shows no sign of falling apart despite the weight of the cubby and the jumping/moving around of our 16lb cat throughout the day. I still think the biggest issue, and the one most likely to be a reason for returns is poor quality control from this company. But if you get a good example of the product its well worth the money.

Dear Lynn, The drawers are made of wood and are plain. You will need to place a tray liner in each drawer. Thank you.

I'm not sure...it's kind of a wood/plastic combo, which I really like this material. The surface is smooth, easy to clean or dust off. I bought the floor cabinet for my bathroom; love the pattern on the from doors. And, bought the wall hanging version and put it in my 2nd bathroom; perfect fit for where I needed it!!! I really like this product and the material it's made of, just not sure what it is...Hope this helps.

It is metal, I purchased one and when I received it had to return it right away it came all dented. You are better buying this directly from a store, they will match the drawer according to the reference number of the washer or dryer you have.

The panels appear to be a cheaper wood. The drawer bottom, back and shelf look like plywood. Top, drawer and all supports are solid wood. I am very happy with the unit I purchased. Assembly took several hours.

The drawers are wood and are sturdy. I'm using it for clothing. The drawers slide extremely well. Very happy with my purchase . Bought two additional pieces to go with the set.

Solid wood, and very heavy wood--probably a tropical hardwood (made in Vietnam). Only the drawer bottoms and the cabinet back are not solid wood. Pretty good quality, really.

It is entirely made of solid wood. No composite/chipboard. Even the pull-out drawer is solid wood construction. It is very simple and sturdy.

The top, legs and drawer are wood, the structural sidewalls are pressed particle board. Mine was poorly assembled.

We got the three drawer one, and it has a thick cardboard backing that is in a white finish that you screw onto the file cabinet when you're done assembling it. It looks nice.

The woman that painted the piece said it was Alder, I wouldn't know, looks to be solid wood to me, the bottom of the drawer is the lightest weight of the piece and I haven't had any problems with it and would think it should last a long time.

Hello, it is made of fiber-board or particle board, similar to Ikea-style furniture. It is a "wood composite", but not true hard wood. It is strong, but not particularly durable like true hardwood. Only the drawer panels are made of real wood pieces. The positive is that it is much lighter than if it were made of all hardwood. For this reason I like it, as long as you don't have to do much movement or manipulation to it. My bookcases are plenty strong...but not sure if they'd survive a move.

The legs, drawer sides and fronts, and the structure attached to the legs are solid wood. There is a wood veneer on the front and the rest is medium density fiberboard with a white finish. I can't tell if there is a thin veneer on it or just paint, but the appearance is good. I had never looked that closely before and was surprised that it is mdf.

The base is metal mesh but has metal sticks to make it solid. It is very well built. It slides in & out nicely. My friend has another type and it sticks when you try to pull the drawer out.

It seems to be made of solid wood. The draw does have a smell but it's tolerable. The inside of the drawer is finished similar to the top of the desk. We never use the drawer so it's always closed. If you use it the smell may eventually go away.

I'm pretty sure it's wood. Some parts seem a little more solid than others but still has held up really well. I have a one year old who is always getting into the cabinets and they are still in excellent condition. I would def buy it again.
