Is the top a slab of real, solid wood,such as maple or oak,or just a veneer covered board..? Also,how thick is it..?

I don't know what kind of wood is, but is pretty solid (3/4-1 inch of thickness).

Real wood, but finger jointed. Tight finger joints, grain not well matched.

It's about an inch or more, looks to be wood. It's ok. Just check for all the parts first, I was missing a side and then a hinge. It looks great put together.

the top is solid pine but the rest is particle board. Mine cracked clean through within the first 6 months of use.

I'm not sure it's wood at all. If so, it is a particle board covered with a very thin laminate? It's very attractive, I will say that, just be careful nicking or scratching it as the veneer might come off.

It is not solid wood it is veneer. the back is finished. It comes totally disassembled so it takes time to put it together. Both sides are the same. But, it is a nice piece of furniture for the price

I just received this unit yesterday and assembled it last night. It is NOT wood. There are bits of wood here and there, but very little. It's fiberboard (MDF) with veneer. It actually looks quite nice, but given the fiberboard construction it is, as a previous comment suggested, very easily damaged. When something strikes the surface, it dents or tears the fiberboard and the veneer is crushed or scraped away. Mine, too, had some shipping damage, but not in a conspicuous enough location to send it back.

The table top is pressed wood with a veneered surface. They are really well built and until you asked and I looked at them from underneath, I thought they were solid wood. They are kind of heavy. I would buy them again and I recommend them.

Yes. This is real solid wood. Well built. Heavy! Love the top hidden drawer. You will not be disappointed.

No, it is not solid wood. It doesn't quite look like compressed board but it likely is some type of manufactured wood and painted the dark brown/cherry wood color. Still looks fabulous, and feels sturdy. We've gotten lots of compliments on our set and we love it.

It is not solid wood. It is a hardwood veneer on top of either plywood or more likely, mdf. I damaged mine recently when moving other furniture. However, if your's arrives undamaged, it will remain a quality item for quite some time. Just be careful with the table top corners as they are the weakest point of the veneer.

It's definitely not solid hardwood. It is heavy and well made and the finish does look handsome.

It is solid wood (not sure what type) and no veneer. It's well-made, well-packed for shipping, and not too difficult to assemble.

I don't know. It's sort of a thin Formica-like veneer over some sort of pressed wood, I'd imagine. The boards that form the sides, top, bottom and shelves are fairly thick and heavy. Very heavy. The 'beadboard' piece that forms the back is very thin, comes folded -- it looks nice but is not what I'd call 'wood.' That said I am very happy with these pieces. I ended up buying 14 of them to do a total makeover in my basement craft room and office and it's been a year now; they are perfect for my needs and very roomy and sturdy. Whatever they may be made of.

I do not believe that it is real wood. It seems to me to be some type of compressed product with a thin finish over it.

It is made from particle board with veneer surface. The one I have has an oak stain on it. the top may be wood, I'm not sure. We like it. it is roomy and looks good where I have it in my dining room

Jim, the board is solid wood. It's been a great purchase. Well worth the price. I may give one to each of our sons and daughters-in-law.

No, It's a veneer. I can't remember what the body wood is (I read it somewhere) but it's dense and fairly heavy. Definitely not basswood etc.

Although it looks like solid wood only some of it is solid wood but most is veneered. The make is higher quality than others we've tried. Hope this helps.
