It is made of plantation wood it is wood that has been grown specifically for our needs(people) usually cedar or spruce(boxwood) which is on the light side but the pieces are weighted nicely they feel good in the hand.

Amazon says it "renewable plantation wood". Whatever that means, the board and pieces are very nice. But if you are looking for genuine mahogany then you are probably looking at the wrong price range

I don't remember the kind of wood. You might check with the company. I will say the wood pieces are very nice for the cost. We have had many nice comments about the set when it is out.

Wood - not sure kind. It doesn't lie tight next to the bed frame so it wobbles if the bed moves at all. Really don't like that.

I bought this set for my 5-yr old great nephew. The chess pieces are sturdy but not heavy metal. I do not believe they used a metallic paint that would be harmful. He LOVES the set!

I think it's partical wood. Real wood with laminate on top. Still looks gorgeous though.

They are not made of wood but they are very durable. I work in a day program with adults with mental and physical disabilities. We are hard on everything that is why I love Melissa and Doug! We have had these over a year and they are in great shape! The measure about 7x7 hope this is helpful to you!

Wood I believe. Its very heavy and sturdy. Its in my 1year old sons room and covered in books and such with no issues. Its actually more of a brown color then the picture shows.

Chinese wood of some kind but solid. It's a well done piece and I've really enjoyed mine. A very good product for a really good price.

I can't confirm what they are made of now, but the game we have that I purchased on Amazon was made of painted wooden tiles.

Made of pressed wood. Very sturdy and slide artbin boxes great. No other brand though. Has to have a lip on the lid. Not sure on measurement of the sides.

It is constructed from a mix of materials. Some of the pieces are real wood and the rest is MDF (fiberboard).
