Is this wood or is it actually MDF?

I think it is MDF. It is made very well. My granddaughter love this kitchen. She's had it for a year now and it still looks new.

I know it is part particle board with a laminate and I believe there are parts that are also mdf (Medium-density fibreboard). It is very heavy. The delivery man said jokingly not to order anything this heavy again because I live on the second floor of a two story building.

The one I received was MDF with a very convincing veneer. See my 2 star review for a photo.

I just received this unit yesterday and assembled it last night. It is NOT wood. There are bits of wood here and there, but very little. It's fiberboard (MDF) with veneer. It actually looks quite nice, but given the fiberboard construction it is, as a previous comment suggested, very easily damaged. When something strikes the surface, it dents or tears the fiberboard and the veneer is crushed or scraped away. Mine, too, had some shipping damage, but not in a conspicuous enough location to send it back.

Well, I don't know what MDF is, but these at least look like real wood. I am very happy with the quality--I'm basically using two of them for plant stands and gave the biggest one away to my friend who helped me put them together because he and his wife have their house decorated in Mission style. They are very attractive and I have gotten a lot of compliments on them.

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.

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

It is probably mdf - or some other type like that - it's not real wood - you won't find real wood for that price - it's sturdy and holds a lot - looks like wood- easy to put together- I'm pleased w them (I have 2 side by side - looks like one cabinet)

Yes, mdf & particle board my husband says. It is very sturdy & looks great. Looks like a quality piece of furniture. I am pretty pleased with it & really for the price you aren't going to find solid wood. My husband & I put it together, took about 2 1/2 hours. He was impressed with the instructions, & how well everything fit together. I would purchase it again.

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

It is pressed wood. MDF, I believe. I received mine with large split in part of the frame, but, I wood glued and put a vice on it as I needed something right away. In spite of that, the price was right and I'm happy with it.

I would say it's probably not real wood, but it looks really good and was easy to assemble. The texture is smooth, not grainy.

MDF....means medium density fiberboard. In other words the wood is NOT solid mahogany or cherry or whatever. There is NO drawer and will hold servcie for 12 BUT that might be a tight fit. My service for 8 fits perfectly with several serving pieces too. The finish is lovely, the chest is solid and I am VERY pleased with it for the price. Hopes this helps you.

it is mdf and I would not recommend this product. The drawers and rails have totally fallen apart and it would be better to buy from Ikea than this thing.

It is not real wood and definitely constructed from MDF. Here's the link to kidkraft's website where they state that it is in fact MDF: http://www.kidkraft.com/toys-and-playsets/kitchens/kitchens/53151

The legs and frame are solid wood, not plywood or mdf. The top is a solid compressed wood. It's very sturdy and durable. I recommend.
