It's solid wood, my assumption is that it's oak. I really like the table. It has a large removable leaf. The one suggestion that I received and complied with while putting mine together was to make sure to buy additional wood glue and a small model paint brush or plumbing flux type brush and make sure to glue all joints together while assembling. My table and chairsa are very rigid with no loose pieces.

Solid / Oak, I love this set. Very easy to assemble, and just the right size for my needs.

It is solid wood with a veneer and some laminate. Not the most solidly designed piece of furniture I own but good value.

SOLID WOOD! I have two of these in DARK OAK and they are as solid as they come. I would be amazed if someone said they were other!

It is definitely solid wood through its thickness and not veneers. It maybe horizontally pieced from more than one, but with a very solid dove-tail construction with no apparent seams and is very sturdy. It has a very thick varnish or polyurethane type of finish which does obscure the feel of the wood grain, but also makes it very easy to clean.

It's particle board with a veneer. I think it looks pretty nice and it's very heavy. However the edges are a little fragile during assembly.

I have this end table - It is made of solid wood, and I believe it is pine.

They are particle board with cherry veneer. I meant solid in the sense of strong and thick enough so they don't sag with heavy books on them, not hardwood.

The one I have is solid wood. We've had it for over 10 yrs. Don't know how the current product is constructed.

Solid wood. It seems well made and has a good feel to it (sturdy). I'd recommend it.

I believe it is a veneer. Plywood with wood-grain finish. Looks very nice when assembled. Very sturdy.

As others have said: It's pressed wood with veneer but very high quality. Very heavy. Beautiful. Looks good in my study and the shelves do not sag with the weight of books.

I'm quite sure it is solid wood as it's very sturdy and a bit heavy. I'm guessing it's a hardwood but it's merely a guess.

They are solid wood...some kind of hard pine or birch I think. (Don't count on my tree species identification :-) ..but certainly solid wood)

It seems to be a decent quality but I'm not sure. Initially I thought it was a type of veneer and pressed wood but I think it's actually a solid wood.

The entire table, top, legs, sides, everything is solid wood. I LOVE this set. It is absolutely beautiful. Nice heavy solid set. I'm extremely pleased with it.

Veneered particle board. Definitely not solid wood but, it's okay for the price we paid.
