Is the desk solid wood, veneer, or particle board? If it has any particle board, where is it?

Solid wood for the most part. I believe the top has a veneer to it for protection and is probably particle board or the price would be much higher. The drawers are solid and dovetailed. This is very heavy and solid desk. It's better than I thought it would be.

I have not seen any particle board. There is veneer, however. I've had it over a year and am quite pleased. This desk is VERY heavy.

Real wood. It is also sealed and painted, but it is definitely too heavy to be particle board. It's a nice, simple desk with the sturdiness of something much more expensive/substantial.

It is black, laminated particle board, with a woodgrain finish. It's really a very nice looking desk.

Not solid wood. It's most likely particle board. It has been a great shelf and I love it.

It has a sturdy backboard that matches the finish of the desk, but I put mine against a wall anyway because you can tell the backboard is not hardwood. Once assembled, it is a very nice piece of furniture.

It is particle board, but I love mine. I had the perfect spot for it. It seems to be nice and sturdy.

I received the white finish desk and it was made out of particle board. But it feels to be very well made. I am enjoying it.

It IS solid wood, but it's predominantly a light wood over which a dark veneer has been applied. It's sturdy but with four legs and no drawers, it's not as solid as a desk would be. Still, I'm sitting at mine that I've had for a year, right now and I like it just fine. I use it every single day - just not for real heavy stuff like a heavy monitor or something like that.

It is particle board with veneer. I thought it was going to be solid wood but really nice. Sauder replaced some particle board damaged in shipping for free via 3 day UPS. Don't worry about sag though. The front rails which are solid wood will keep the shelves from sagging.

It's mostly pressed wood, but it's probably one of the most solid desks we've ever owned and it's standing the test of time very well. A very versatile smaller desk. Highly recommend!

particle board. I was surprised by that too. It's not totally cheap looking but not as nice a desk as I anticipated

I'm pretty sure its solid wood. Its a very sturdy, heavy table of good quality. I've had mine for about two years and still think about how beautiful it is.

This desk is hardwood, not veneer. It is a bit heavy. . . This was a deciding factor for me. . .

The back is thick particleboard. This thing is very solid, sturdy, heavy, and beautiful! I expect it to be passed down in my family for several generations.

The desk is particle board with a wood design printed on the surface to resemble cherry wood.

It's particle board. I've have owned it for a few years now and it's held up very well. I recommend it highly.

It is thin pressed board. It is much like cardboard but a lot stronger. This desk is heavy, very heavy. The backing is solid enough that it holds good, but thin enough to let you cut custom holes if you need. Hope it helps
