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.

This bookcase is particle board/veneer construction. I have had it 5 or 6 months, loaded with lots of heavy books, no problems yet. As long as you are not expecting a solid wood bookcase, you won't be disappointed.

Yes, this is particle board with veneer. I've had it for only a few months so no issues yet.

It ls mixture; however it is well built and durable. It is not likely to sag. I thought it was a great value.

I don't think this one could sag. Each shelf is reinforced with a crosspiece at the front. I'm truly impressed with the construction. Certainly in damp conditions like out in a garage its a possibility. It is heavy but comes in lots of pieces. I assembled it right in front on where I was going to put it. Then I just tipped it up.You'll be hard pressed to get this much bang for the buck.

particle board but don't let that deter you! It is a great piece of furniture and looks and feels far more expensive than it is! I love it!

It is not solid wood but rather finely compressed cellulose with a veneer of wood laminate. Definitely not particle board. The weight is very close to solid wood.

You can't can't tell all surfaces are covered with the veneer. If I were venture a guess I'ed have say particle board.

I think it's a laminate which would be particle board? I love this desk, its solid and looks great! It was a big job to put it together!

The wood grain shows prominently! You can feel the texture if the wood grain, it doesn't look like a pressed particle board.

Particle board with wood laminate. Can't expect more for this price range. In fact this was good value for the money and looks far more expensive than what it actually cost. Good quality, I would recommend it.

I don't know. It's sort of a thin Formica-like veneer over some sort of pressed wood, I'd imagine. The boards that form the sides, top, bottom and shelves are fairly thick and heavy. Very heavy. The 'beadboard' piece that forms the back is very thin, comes folded -- it looks nice but is not what I'd call 'wood.' That said I am very happy with these pieces. I ended up buying 14 of them to do a total makeover in my basement craft room and office and it's been a year now; they are perfect for my needs and very roomy and sturdy. Whatever they may be made of.

I'm not sure of its origin but, yes, it is veneer over particle board. It's "decent" for disposable furniture. I still have mine, although it has taken some abuse from a couple of moves so it definitely isn't looking its best.

Veneer of course. You would pay a fortune nowadays for a well made solid wood desk, that would not warp over time. There is an advantage to particle board, over wood planks. Particle board does not warp, but it is twice as heavy, has very little lateral stability (you cannot use it for bookshelves, as they would warp under the pressure), and it is "dead" wood that does not move and change over time anymore like "real" wood planks do. But even in the old times, people used fancy veneer over cheaper wood.

I have this and it is particle board but a very heavy and high grade. I still polish and dust it the same as all my real wood.

It is not wood! My husband is a home builder and he says it is not solid wood. He says more like particle (pressed) board. And it is very small. I don't think it was worth the price i paid for it.

The one I got is not solid wood. A lot of particle board and MDF. If you decide to order, check that they sent the slats. Mine never came and I had to make my own.

It's black particle board laminate, and there is a (approx) 2inch wide vertical board piece that supports the back from bowing (like pressed particle laminate does) which also had a few of the parts sticker labels on it...

Seems to be solid wood, I could not find any part that looked like veneer, maybe the back? The back is finished though. Very heavy, solid, well built.

No, it is not made of particle board with laminate. It is real wood, but the quality of the wood isn't top notch, of course, due to the low cost of the item. If you get one with the finish done properly, it's a very handsome piece. Just be sure to wipe it down - the automated finishing process seems to leave lots of hair-like strands of whatever they use for the top coat.
