what kind of material are the shelves made of?

some kind of composite material but they are strong, anything with reasonable weight they will hold.

Particle board or MDF with a black laminate. Do not remove plastic from laminate or it will lose its shine, become sticky and ruined. I love the cabinet and recently bought two more.

Some sort of wood or particle board with a thick coat of paint. Very hard and sturdy

The entire shelving unit is made of solid wood. No particle board in sight. It's a good buy for the $$ and it looks quite nice, too.

The shelves are wood, or hard plywood that looks like wood with wood grain. Although I think they are real wood. If you order this, chances are you'll be very happy with it. It's also very stable. Hope this helps.

Parts of it (the shelves, I think) are laminate though it is heavy and very well made. Looks beautiful.

I am not sure what it is made out of but I am satisfied with it. It is durable and is a nice shelf stand.

The shelves and most of the frame is metal with a plastic coating. The side frames are a thick plastic.

It appears to be a synthetic material. It's very strong and does not bulge out on the sides. I have mine's stacked full with folded T-shirts and shorts and it does a great job of handling that much weight. The shelves do not sag or anything.

The shelves are wood. The color matches the drawer on the bottom. The shelf and drawer are of the same wood material.

Hi Timothy,I got the shelves for my Aunt and haven't seen them. From the picture and the description, I believe the shelves are chrome. If you would like, I can ask her.Joann

Shelves are glass. Heavy duty and satisfied. Make sure to look at the dimensions as this is a surprisingly small stand.

Most of the trays are plastic and covered with fake velvet sort of stuff (glued on). I think the very bottom shelves are just black plastic. It works, but the whole thing is pretty low-quality. (I would have returned mine if it wouldn't have cost $35 in shipping.)

The sides are cardboard with a textured vinyl material cover and the spines are hubbed with a fake leather look cover. They are very nice looking on the shelf and are well made. I have eight of them and they are such a space saver. I really like them.

The shelf pins are metal. The shelves are 1/2" thick and quite hefty. The backing is a dense type of fiberboard ....not flimsy cardboard/poster board type. It fits well and ample small nails included to fasten it quite securely to the frame. Has a nice look in matching the wood tone/grain of the frame and shelves.

There are shelves however you can purchase glass, wood, or other material shelves to go over, or fit in the current shelves since they are not solid metal.

The steel is the frame of the shelves. The particle board is included. The shelves don't feel stable until you get it all together. Then it feels like a rock.
