Yes most of the wood is solid finished wood. As for a non-toxic I would assume it is since it is a childrens toy.

Each side and top are made of plywood with simple square finger joints and is held together with some screws, countersunk. Finish is smooth, no splinters or anything to worry about. And No Glues... As for the paints, I don't recall reading any detail about the paints used, however our daughter has not tried to lick or chew on any of the parts. Our daughter is pretty rambunctious, and she's not damaged or or been hurt by it at all... Hope that helps...

Yes, it's a very nice toy I bought for my son. For initial 2 weeks, he was all around the cube. But even now he still enjoys the toy. The circular rotating stuff, I noticed a slight wear-tear of paint. But overall it was a very nice toy.

It's fully particle board! It has a cardboard backing. Nothing seems to be wood these days unless you make it yourself.

Doesn't seem like particle board. Probably hard woods. It's plenty sturdy. I do use coasters for drinks though.

No, the pieces are wood with felt on the bottom and the board is not metal. Even though the pieces are not like I would like to have, it is still a nice board for the money. I'm going to search for some heavy stone pieces.

I believe there is wood but the fancy map covering is a plastic and seems very durable. I'm always getting complements when I carry it into the Mah Jong game.

The paint has held up through two toddlers and still going strong, no issues there. I haven't had any paint chip. The puzzle board is made of manufactured wood but the actual puzzle pieces are solid wood. I think it is very well made.

The quality of this backgammon board is very good overall and has withstood hundreds of games without showing any degradation. The inside is lined. There is no wood. Hope this helps.

We believe it's particle board/pressed wood, but perfect for our 4 and 5 year old. Very happy. Not sure it would be study for older kids/teenagers

We just played this today! Was given to my brother in law for Christmas and he is very happy with it. The board is slicker than a wooden one but for the price and/or if you need one you can transport, it is great! Hope that helps.

It is not wood. It is not press board . It does not appear to be plastic. I do not know what it is but it is strong and well made with wood appearance .

I went over and picked up the puzzle and checked it out. The pieces are wood, very well constructed and actually stand up on their own. The base looks like it's two pieces of particle board pressed together making it 1/4 inch thick, it is not plastic, it doesn't bend so it shouldn't break. Very sturdy.

As a purchaser, and a very satisfied one. Actually my son is satisfied, as are his friends. The board is made of wood, the type I am totally at a loss in knowing. It certainly is not plastic!! An item I highly recommend!!!

It is made of hardwood...not particle board. I have 6 grandkids and they love it and it is used much. My husband and I sit with them at the table and eat with them. Very sturdy. Love it

It's just particle board, but the design is nice and I've had lots of compliments on it. Pay attention while putting it together. We ended up with 3 small cubbies on one side and just one on the other. It was all glued together by the time we realized our mistake:(

There are two different versions of the Hasbro wooden box library classics games. All of the wooden library box edition series games were and are still sold only at Target stores. Any other sellers are reselling stock that came from Target. The games retail for $19.99, with Risk and Life at $21.99 (they have deeper boxes), and very rarely go on sale. The older version has a copyright date of 2005 and the newer version 2008 or 2009. The artwork is often different on the covers, as you refer to in your question. I believe all the contents are the same. However, there is one difference that is major in my mind. The older 2005 versions are packaged in a REAL wooden box, while the newer versions are in a particleboard box that is stained/painted to mimic wood. The difference is potential durability as the particleboard is probably more susceptible to chip due to its nature. As of July 2010, it is still possible to find the real wooden 2005 versions in some Target stores, but it is becoming harder and harder to do so. The way to identify the 2005 real wood version is simple: the spine of the wooden box is ROUNDED. The newer particleboard versions have flat edges and spines all around the box. Funny how these editions of the games were created to combat the lowering of the production quality of the games, yet measures were taken to cheapen even these versions by using "fake" wood in the later editions. However, both versions are still great and far, far, far superior to the standard versions of these games, but the older real wood box versions are the ones to get in my opinion. Hope this info helps.

Its mostly particle board. The material around the base though is a sturdier version. Its not bad and works great for my 7 year old. The drawer front is particle board, then the bottom and inside are a very thin something else. Very flimsy. You can poke it through with your hand if you gave enough pressure.

Definitely solid wood and non toxic finishes my son and cousins really like it and spend long periods of time playing and interacting with each other
