The back panels are about 3/4 inch thick particle wood. (The matching nightstand has the cardboard-like backing.)

Hello, this is an excellent piece of furniture. It looks great and is very sturdy. It is exactly as described. I have mine backed against a wall but I think it will do just fine as a coffee table as well. I would not put any drinks or anything wet on it, as it could mess up the finish. There are no cardboard pieces. All sides are sturdy, solid pieces. I will say that when mine arrived the corner of the front piece was broken during shipment so I called the manufacturer and they shipped me a new piece within two days at no cost. Excellent customer service and I know you will be pleased with this chest. Good luck! Hello, this is an excellent piece of furniture. It looks great and is very sturdy. It is exactly as described.

Its not real wood but sturdy. The drawers slide on some track but I can't see what it is. It is already assembled when it arrives.

Nikki - The drawers are relatively heavy, but the drawers are not made of wood. It appears to be a very fine particle board. The basic frame is wood, however. I have three units and they look and work like new.

Its a heavy cardboard. I have 4 of them along with the drawers in my daycare. I love them! They are sturdy and hold up well to repeated use.

It is not solid wood, and I do believe it is a type of particle board because it is not very heavy. I do love this piece of furniture and it looks much nicer in person. I use it as a liquor cabinet. Hope this helps!

It is a hard background, I would recommend not pinning anything to the back of the cabinet as it may ruin the look of it. The backing is a piece of wood, not cork-board.

There is no finishing color on the back as there is on the front. The "back" of the dresser is a piece of cardboard you nail into the rest of the dresser. Please do not order this dresser!! I know it seems like a good deal but the entire dresser was shipped to me badly damaged then fell apart within 2 weeks of having it all put together. The drawers were the first thing to go, after 2 of them broke I decided to get rid of the entire thing. Please do not buy this it is a huge waste of money!! You are better off buying the plastic rubbermaid drawers from Walmart... That's what I did and have never been happier to have drawers that stay in place lol There is no finishing color on the back as there is on the front.

It is real solid wood and we love ours. We've had it now for several years and it's been great for us. Scary to buy something like this online but it has been great for us. In fact we had a neighbor tell us the other day that they wanted to get one just like it because they liked ours so much. Good luck.

It is very sturdy. Wood is dense and quite heavy, and the frame bolts e everything securely in place. The feet are great. It does not budge or rattle when contacted. Though definitely put it together in the same room you want it to be, nearby the spot. It is great quality but very heavy.

I agree with the other answers. The dresser isn't made of solid wood so it seems it would not hold anything very heavy. Mine just has clothing in it and it works great for that and looks nice, as well!

This is a very, very nice piece of furniture for the price!! On the back of each door area, it is wood back panel similar to the front; however, behind the open area is a cardboard backing. We were very grateful for the cardboard backing in that area because my husband hand to cut new holes for the amount of wiring we had.

I got the white dresser and it's made of mdf. It's pretty solid and not cheap looking. Good quality for the price.

To be honest with you the dresser was packaged well but still had damage. The seller sent another one and it had less damage but there was still some dings. I have to say the construction and wood is not top notch and too fragile on the corners. It's a beautiful dresser just not something I would buy again due the quality. Hope this helps.

The back is totally thin cardboard. The rest of it is pretty solid. I'm guessing not solid wood but it's a SOLID bookcase (could not move it by myself)

As with most bookcases these days (except expensive ones) the backing of this boockase is made of compressed cardboard which you either nail or screw on. For me this wasn't an issue; it still looked nice, and the rest of the bookcase is good quality for the money. I bought the white. Hope this helps.

It's actually nice wood all over except the back where you have put the cords thru. It's cardboard but matches the wood perfectly . I like mine a lot. Very sturdy
