What is this made of? Is it solid wood? If wood, what is the wood? Is it MDF or other compressed wood?

based on the cost and the weight, I assumed that it is probably made of pine and stained dark. In my inspection, i believe i was right. I do see the grain of wood so it is not compressed wood. It is actually quite beautiful and well made for how little I paid. It does look great with my cherry furniture in the guest room.

It is made of wood but I'm not sure what kind. it seems sturdy enough and it folds up quite nicely and fits in the closet. My daughter-in-law packs for a week when she's coming for a week-end and it holds up under that load. I've seen several in stores and this is as nice as those unless you have a lot of overnighters with kids who like to jump on things I think this work.

I think it's heavier than pine but not sure. It has worked beautifully in my guest room with really dark furniture. I set it up in the closet and also had a daughter for a week. It performed great with a large heavy suitcase. I have seen some for much more in stores that were not as heavy duty and more expensive.I would definitely recommend.

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.

It is some type of compressed wood but when it is put together it is very heavy. I really like the unit

It's mostly MDF (sawdust, glue, veneer) with some light solid wood pieces as far as I can tell.

Not sure if its real wood or mdf but it looks like wood painted an expresso color. Looks good in person...

MDF with thin wood veneer. I know because I drilled holes and cardboard came out.

It is made of MDF wood: (from Wikipedia)Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure.[1] MDF is generally denser than plywood. It is made up of separated fibres, but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood. It is stronger and much more dense than particle board.[2]

Not sure if it's compressed wood or solid as its painted white. It is very solid and will last. Great bed for the price.

Korra,It seems to be MDF, but a higher grade than cheap furniture. Every piece fit together extremely well, and it looks better than one might expect. Target and Best Buy actually carry the exact model if you want to take a look before purchasing. Hope this helps.

I believe it's MDF (particle board). It has a nice semi glass dark cherry finish to it, and it has a good weight to it, feels very solid.

The question has been asked before and answered as: It's made from MDF (pressed wood with a smooth veneer surface). I suggest you look up MDF for more info on this wood. It's a pretty piece shelf; however, you have to work with the holes that are already drilled in because of the type of wood. Hope this helps.

It is made from MDF (medium density fiberboard) with a hardwood veneer. The finish isn't durable and when it gets scratched any spilled water will wick into the MDF causing swelling. See the photo from my 12/5/2014 review.

It is not made of cheap particle boards like the majority of cheap bookcase in the market. This unit is Made in USA with MDF. Besides the material, the molding and trimming included in the package will cover the MDF and you cannot tell it is not hard wood. Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres. This book case is solid as a rock. I read few negative review from people that either have not assembled it right or simply got some other product. Mine is pretty much indestructible.

No it's all compressed wood. Also the drawers tracks are clumsy, so good for storage not every day use.. Good luck!

I got the white dresser and it's made of mdf. It's pretty solid and not cheap looking. Good quality for the price.

It's not all wood. the frame is wooden and the carved inserts are MDF but it's a beautiful piece. I'm using it as a headboard for a king bed.

It is made of MDF. It is quite well made -- solid construction and does not rattle, etc. A good buy at this price, though you might wish to swap out the speakers which I find muddy.

The cabinet is made of the MDF board. However, the top piece is a bit heavier and is of high quality and the sides are your normal MDF. The quality is good and is a very sturdy cabinet. I hope this will help.
