Is the cabinet hardwood, plywood or MDF?

As of 10/2014 it's plywood, not solid wood as indicated in the description.

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

Sure would be nice to get a straight, no-BS answer to this question. Is the MDF covered in a real wood veneer, or a fake one such as vinyl?

I think it is MDF wood...Not positive as I have never stripped the carpet off of it, but it seems too heavy to be plastic.

Nothing made of plywood, engineered wood, MDF or particle board as far as i can tell. The table top is beautiful made of boards put together, the legs on the table are very sturdy, the chairs are very comfortable, I did buy some cushions for decorative purposes.

MDF is medium density fibreboard (you can read more about that on Google) but no it is not solid hardwood, however it is sturdy.

Ours was a hardwood mdf with hardwood veneer. See my 2 star review for a photo.

I don't think any of the documentation specified. It's actual wood, not plywood. The grain looks most like oak pieces I have around the house. The finish is darker, though - looks like mahogany or a dark cherry. I've been very happy with it.

It is made of MDF = medium-density fiberboard. Meaning, it is the cheap engineered laminated wood product that is widely used for in-stock cabinets (and other cheap furniture like this one) at big box stores that crumbles in no time. Bought it for the design to build with a better wood later.

No, it's not. It has a pine veneer over MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard).MDF contains a mixture of wood solids, wax, and resin bonded together under high temperatures and high pressure to create a uniform wood-like product that is far cheaper than real wood. When furniture is sold unassembled, nowadays it's usually MDF. This is even the case for high-end "fine furniture" pieces (even ones that are already assembled).

I just received it and it's definitely not 100% hardwood. The door, which surrounds the mirror is 100% hardwood. The frame section below that sits on the floor and supports the cabinet is also hardwood. The cabinet itself, though, is definitely all MDF. All you have to do is look at it from the back to tell. The top and side pieces of mine were all chipped because that's what happens to MDF and why it's a bad product. But you generally won't be looking at the back of it especially if you stick it in the corner.

The unit is made from MDF but it is sturdy and little carving details is nice. It fit in with my other cabinet from Crate and Barrel.

I would guess it is MDF with oak overlay, but couldn't tell you for sure without chipping away it. Very sturdy construction either way.

Yes, although to be technically accurate, 98% is more like it. The bottom shelf is plywood, but as a wood worker I can tell you that is exactly what you want or the expansion/contraction cycle can make it fit poorly. The sides are likely that as well, but everything else on the piece is solid. If your question is about particle, MDF or compressed board instead, then no this piece doesn't have any of it. It is a great little piece of furniture, well worth the price and fairly good build quality.

I have now purchased four of these cabinets for DVD's and CD's. These are a solid wood system, not MDF with a veneer. I have been very pleased with these units and they all arrived with no damages. My friends who have seen them have commented on their appearance for what it's worth. If I need more space, which I will soon, I will order this unit again. Hope this helped ! William
