This bookcase is particle board/veneer construction. I have had it 5 or 6 months, loaded with lots of heavy books, no problems yet. As long as you are not expecting a solid wood bookcase, you won't be disappointed.

it's all particle board. The veneer isn't very thick and scratches easily. I am very disappointed with this piece.

Side panels are veneer - probably over particle board. It is structurally solid though.

It was particle board with a veneer over it. Went together pretty easily, but takes a while.

No, it is not made of particle board with laminate. It is real wood, but the quality of the wood isn't top notch, of course, due to the low cost of the item. If you get one with the finish done properly, it's a very handsome piece. Just be sure to wipe it down - the automated finishing process seems to leave lots of hair-like strands of whatever they use for the top coat.

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.

I know it is part particle board with a laminate and I believe there are parts that are also mdf (Medium-density fibreboard). It is very heavy. The delivery man said jokingly not to order anything this heavy again because I live on the second floor of a two story building.

It is pressed particle board with a veneer on it. It is not solid oak. However, it really serves its purpose, looks good and we are very happy with it. It is perfectly adequate for what it is intended for.

I think it's a laminate which would be particle board? I love this desk, its solid and looks great! It was a big job to put it together!

Hi Brian. My husband said it does not appear to be veneer. He says that he cannot be certain of that though. Perhaps you could call the manufacturer for more details? I feel that the product is worth the money that we paid and has held up great and is perfect for the use we intended. Sorry we could not be of more help!

I'm not sure what the wood is but it is solid. The walnut veneer is beautiful and in putting it together, I saw no evidence of the particle board stuff used to make furniture these days. If you decide to buy this, the only change we made when assembling this piece was that my husband put a drop of wood glue in each hole to attach the back to the sides for added strength as he and another family member weigh between 275 and 300. Anyone can sit on it with no problems and I have had it for about 8 months now.

Definitely not particle board, but might be MDF with wood laminate. Hard to tell. Looks and feels like wood, though. It's very heavy (shipping weight is 63 lbs) and sturdy.

Doors are solid wood. Rest of cabinet veneer over particle board. Don't know veneer would guess some wood like birch or ash - little figure, smooth, no pores. It is a dense particle board and therefore it is heavy. I don't think you will find solid wood in this price range.

Particle board but pretty sturdy and feels like wood. Shipper dropped the top of my desk and crushed the corner of it, which is the only reason I was able to tell it wasn't wood. Otherwise, it looks and feels like wood to me. They shipped me a new top immediately and I'm quite happy with the desk (other than the fact that the file drawer stopped closing completely after a few days. Feels like it gets out of track or that track bent, so I leave it open a few inches.

My gut is that it's particle board. It is very sturdy though, and I continue to get compliments on it. it really is perfect for a corner space. If it's not 100% wood, it sure looks like it is.

It's particle board with a veneer. I think it looks pretty nice and it's very heavy. However the edges are a little fragile during assembly.
