This is what impressed me about this shelving unit. It's made out of wood which is painted black

I don't remember. The shelves were not falling apart, but the connection of the upper and lower portions is what was weak. It was two small wooden nubs for lack of a better word that held it together. I don't recommend the shelf if you plan on putting much weight on it.

I just received mine and am returning it because I could not find a single surface that was solid wood. I only opened one of the two boxes, but all of the side pieces and the shelf are MDF. Maybe the top is solid, I didn't hassle with the second box to find out. It does seem to be high quality MDF, but make no mistake, this is NOT a wooden piece.

it is mdf and I would not recommend this product. The drawers and rails have totally fallen apart and it would be better to buy from Ikea than this thing.

None of it is metal minus the supports in the feet. It is a high quality MDF. (Medium Density Fiber board).

It is constructed of a canvas fabric. There is a metal rectangular frame at the very top and a metal rod inside the the front edge of each shelf. I bought one and a few months later I ordered a second one because the work great for both my shoes and my husband's.

Hi Martha, This piece is constructed of pressed wood, something I used to call particle board. Every exposed surface is covered with a synthetic wood finish, and the shelves are covered on every surface. The back is a tempered paper-based material like peg board, but of course, without the holes. I think it might be called "masonite". The holes for the shelves are too far apart causing a waste of vertical space because I can't put the shelves at an optimum location. I had to drill extra holes to solve that issue. The center shelf, however, is fixed in its location. As I said in my review, the doors should have been hinged instead of sliders, eliminating the difficult to access space in the middle of each shelf. Overall, the fully assembled unit is very sturdy. The only cheap feel is the rollers on which the doors move. The doors do not "glide", rather, it feels like a slightly bumpy ride for them. They do not stick and are not difficult to move, just a little feeling of cheapness. I hope that helps you. Lanny

Hi Rachel,It appears to be pressed wood/particle board. The wood grain that you see is a false veneer. It does look nice but it isn't actual wood grain -- which is one reason why it will not support the weight of a shelf full of very large books. Over time the shelving will bend if there is a lot of weight on it.Doug

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

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

No it's probably mdf or fiberboard with wood grain laminated they where very easy to put together but not high end look although they do look nice on the wall. For the price with prime shipping it was worth it.

It's pine with MDF on the tops of the desk, chest, bookcase. Mom's Bunk House replaces parts for up to 1 year.

I think it's mdf but very heavy duty. If you can put it together yourself, I think it is worth it. But I had to hire someone to put it together and also hang it up because it is very heavy, so it adds up. I think if it was put together when shipped, it would be a better value.

Ours was a hardwood mdf with hardwood veneer. See my 2 star review for a photo.

MDF, probably with some plywood bracing. Seems durable. The acoustic properties seem good.

It is made of MDF wood: (from Wikipedia)Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure.[1] MDF is generally denser than plywood. It is made up of separated fibres, but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood. It is stronger and much more dense than particle board.[2]

The unit is made of MDF (medium density fiberboard) which is denser and heavier than the cheaper common particleboard with a laminate on top
