Is this toilet seat solid oak, or is it oak laminated over particleboard of some kind?

It's solid. I've had several laminated seats. This one also has a much better finish on it. When they say furniture grade they mean good furniture not cheap stuff.

They could of changed them since I bought mine, but the one bought was a solid oak, very heavy & nicely made, it's help up through several grand kids even dropping it & slamming it shut. I really like mine a lot & would still recommend it, I hope I was able to help you.

The back is holding up well (and so is the seat). We use occasionally for actual sitting (usually with steamer more than with the shower). With the shower, I use almost daily to wash my feet and legs better so have used the hinges a lot. It is as good as when we installed it about 6 months ago. It appears to be teak wood -- wood is the same for seat and back and has held up well. I just saw some other comments about seat and think adding oil or stain sounds like a good idea. But it has held up well without adding oil or stain.

The back is thick particleboard. This thing is very solid, sturdy, heavy, and beautiful! I expect it to be passed down in my family for several generations.

It's composite wood(solid but not one particular kind of wood) in most of it's parts but does have a few particle board elements. It took my father and me almost 2 hours to put together but WELL WORTH it. Awesome bed and a Great space saver for my 5 year old son's bedroom and looks REALLY good.

Not solid wood. Laminate. I rerturned cause it would take me 10 yrs to put it together.

Hey Amy, The color is a pale oak as you are indicating but the quality, finish and long last of the seat resulted in my purchase of a second seat for another room. It is worth the cost. Alan

The seats are a light, smooth wood with no cracks. I had planned to paint them, but the finish is pretty as is. The stools are very sturdy. We have young grandsons, so we did not want them to be able to tip them over or fall backward. We have been very pleased and will probably buy another one.

More like particle board. It is sturdy and well made. My child has sat on it.

Not sure of the wood, perhaps pine. But otherwise, very sturdy and secure. The seat moves a bit because of the way you adjust it, but otherwise a very solid, heavy stool.

The product description is "natural wood veneer". The seat is made of a composite material and is covered with the walnut veneer. It has a wood-like appearance but has no raised grain or imperfections found in solid wood. Its sealed and more hygienic that porous wood.

It is an oak veneer. It is holding up better than I thought after 2+ months.

The framing is wood but portions are pressed wood and particle board, it has been in my bathroom for a year and not showing any signs of sag.

It IS solid wood, but it's predominantly a light wood over which a dark veneer has been applied. It's sturdy but with four legs and no drawers, it's not as solid as a desk would be. Still, I'm sitting at mine that I've had for a year, right now and I like it just fine. I use it every single day - just not for real heavy stuff like a heavy monitor or something like that.

I'd say it's particle board. It's wearing well tho. Gets constant use and doors are like new. For the price I'm very happy with it.

It appears to be solid wood. Mine came in a painted white finish, so if you wanted to refinish it, it would have to be stripped first. We did reinforce the underside of the lid with a couple of 1 x 3s so it wouldn't bow when someone sat on it.

It's solid wood. My brother (233lbs) and myself (205lbs) sat on it with two kids in our lap (20lbs & 60lbs).

Im surprized the specifications don't show this. The seat is, as I understand it, wood or a dense wood material with a very hard paint or coating finish. I have grand kids that like to stand on it and our old one flexed and that was problematic.
