What kind of wood is the cello stand made out of? Hardwood, or is it veneer? Thanks

I asked my husband this question since he enjoys dabbling in minor carpentry projects and he thinks it's solid wood. My cello fits well though it is a little snug. But it still works for me.

It is a type of wood called nato, which is similar to mahogany. It is very, very thin. The finish is not shiny making it look more inexpensive and it is very light. (The weight was listed in the item description, but I guess I didn't realize how light it would really feel.) Makes it look and feel like a kids toy. I really wish the appearance looked more like real wood. It does have a good sound though and the price was right for just learning. It appears to be very nicely made, also.

The pieces are pretty sturdy, and the catalog from Home Decorators Collection states it is "hardwood veneer". I have absolutely no idea what that really means. I have the white variey and put it together almost alone. It is probably press board or pine. You could contact HDC. Their number is 800-245-5233. Their Customer Service was very good. They probably have a better answer to your question.

I believe it's particle wood, it's very sturdy though (not super heavy) and has a nice smooth finish.

The main verticle post and some of the trimmings are solid wood. Other parts like some of the tray and drawer components appear to be a dense faux wood. None of it is the coarse particle board. In terms of the veneer, not sure, doesn't appear to by vinyl. Given all that, the piece does have a quality appearance. I'm pleased with ours as we always get compliments on it when we have guest over.

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.

It is made of probably some type of particle board that looks like wood. I can't tell the difference. It's nice and worth the money. Looks high end. Doesn't look cheap. Just order it....you will love it.

I agree with previous comment, it's not hardwood. In fact, I would say it's probably not even pine. I suspect it's some [semi-soft] wood of asian origin. However, it seems sturdy enough for the purpose - a kids bed that will see plenty of abuse. It won't be a family heirloom but I think it will hold up until my soon is old enoungh to outgrow it. I am faily picky about having quality furniture and I am satisfied that I got what I paid for. Hope that helps.

It looks more like a painted finish...what you see in the picture is what you get....nothing too fancy looking....but if your looking for a basic beginner cello, it is great!

This desk is hardwood, not veneer. It is a bit heavy. . . This was a deciding factor for me. . .

I'm no carpenter, but it is wood. Probably not solid hardwood, but rather a veneer. However, I really like this piece. It is sturdy, looks great, and is inexpensive. Overall, a great value.

i would call it a wood veneer. It's surface is smooth, you might have to rough it up a bit with sandpaper. The quality of this for the price is good. It is holding up well. The opening and closing mechanism is excellent....

I do think it is veneer, but it is very well done and quite attractive.I am very pleased with it.....It is a dark mahogany in color...

It is like a veneer wood. Looks like oak, matches my cabinets. I love it. I got it to go with my country themed kitchen. And mine seems to work just fine. If anything the ringer is too loud, the guy below must of had it on low ring. If you are going to use speaker phone, before you answer you have to hit speaker phone at that moment and don't pick up the phone. Ours is mainly for looks.

It's veneer. But both sides are finished. Just purchased a few weeks back. Seems good and sturdy so far.

The stand is made from real layered hardwood, with the top layer polished out. It is "engineered" because of the layer design and with assembly holes and all connectors already machined into the item. It is a fine piece. I recommend it.

I believe it is solid wood. No particle board. It's beautiful and functional.
