Is the veneer real wood, thermofoil (fake woodgrain), or a combination?

I'm quite sure it's not real wood. It seems like it couldn't take rough use without damage(may scratch easily). Probably not a good item for a kids room, but would be very nice for adult use or anyone who is not rambunctious.

It consists of a combination but.... for the price it looks better than I expected. I bought 2 nightstands, chest of drawers, double dresser, tv stand, bookcase and a media tower and I am very pleased with all of them. I know others have had negative comments about this collection but you have to realize that if you don't want to spend a fortune this is the way to go. I have received many positive comments from friends and family. I think you'll be happy with this choice.

The finished product looks good but I do not think the veneer is a real wood.

I can not tell whether the material is real or manufactured wood. If it is real wood, then it is not the heavy type.

It's definitely pressed wood (particle board). Wasn't as nice as I thought it would be. Faux granite, particle board -- pain in the a$$ to put together.

I do not think is real wood. It is a very heavy mdf material. I am very pleased with it. It is heavy. Way better than the target brand shelves, and better than the closet mate shelves. Exactly what i was looking for for under$100. I would buy again

Does not look like real wood and not compressed wood either. Not sure what it is.Please ask the manufacturers

I'm afraid I have no idea. My mother uses it occasionally and she has a veneer. I wouldn't take that as proof that it's safe but there it is. I'd email the manufacturer to be sure.

Idk but it's not real heavy wood so it might be veneers. I'm just not good at telling the difference. I do wish it was made of heavier materials

I am guessing that it is not hardwood, not for that price. I would have had to look for that when I was putting it together. If it is veneer, it looks and feels good. It's not plastic overlay. I am unable to find the company's web sight right now. I would buy this again. Be careful not to force or break any assembly hardware, there are no spares.

Mine doesn't look like a veneer but if it is it is a good quality. To answer your question about a solid wood and veneer: Having been in the furniture business for 15 years many top line companies, such as Thomasville, use the combination to achieve a desired look you can't get from a solid wood i.e., swirls, butterfly look, heart shape etc. When done correctly it is a quality product. Hope this helps.

I'm not a wood expert, I believe it is real wood. The frame is solid, heavy and when connecting the panels, the screws responded like they were being screwed into real wood, not cheap or fake wood.

I believe it is veneer. It is a very nice bookcase. I like the looks of it.

I'm not 100% certain but I'm pretty sure it is not real wood - most likely some form of composite. It actually feels a little more dense than you'd find in most furniture woods.

It appears to be, because it has grain on the top and bottom. It is a dark wood, cherry finish on top and unfinished underneath. I would not dare to guess what kind.

It looks, feels, and is grained like real wood. And it hasn't melted yet, which is a plus. If it's not wood, it's a close match.

It's not real wood. It's partical and has a coating, so I really don't think so.

Its paper thin veneer over particle board. The particle board appears to be 90% ground cardboard with 10% sawdust.

I think it is a mix of real wood and veneered particle board. But it is pretty good quality. I am pretty happy with it.
