I received the board cracked and sent it back to be replaced and they never got me another,. I had to call Amazon.com for help in getting my money back. I ordered another board from somewhere else.

I believe the desk is Asian hardwood because I looked into what that was before I bought mine. I don't remember specifically what kind of woodcut is but I was satisfied and bought the desk which I like very much. I just had to send it back three times to get one that wasn't damaged...

I'm not sure what kind of wood but it's dense and light colored. It might be hickory.

Not sure exactly what variety of wood, but it is a hardwood and NOT pine. It is an excellent product. I highly recommend it.

Seems that Ashley and I disagree about the wood....I don't have the booklet anymore so I'm not sure what it said about the type of Chinese wood it is......maybe it's Chinese cedar. Sorry for obfuscation.

Wait. I'm not sure what finish ours is. I would not call it autumn maple so maybe ours is a different finish.

It is solid wood...but it is not hardwood. It isn't a solid piece of oak, or cherry, or mahogany, etc. The finish is veneer. I just wanted to clarify.

It looks like oak to me. It has a little darker tone to it, but I wouldn't characterize it as reddish. If I were to compare it to another wood, I would say a light walnut. Hope that helps.

It appears to be a hardwood of some species, but it is stained, so I don't recognize which one.

I agree with previous comment, it's not hardwood. In fact, I would say it's probably not even pine. I suspect it's some [semi-soft] wood of asian origin. However, it seems sturdy enough for the purpose - a kids bed that will see plenty of abuse. It won't be a family heirloom but I think it will hold up until my soon is old enoungh to outgrow it. I am faily picky about having quality furniture and I am satisfied that I got what I paid for. Hope that helps.

Hi, Priscilla, I'm not sure what kind of wood it was, but FYI, despite the description saying that it was entirely hardwood, it was not. I don't remember now exactly which parts of it were not solid wood. We eventually replaced it and gave it away.

Well according to the Janka hardness scale for wood, Maple scores between 700-1450 depending on the species and Bamboo scores between 1180 and 3000 depending on the scale. So Bamboo is generally harder but depending on the species Maple could be harder. I doubt Gladiator would even be able to tell us the type of species woods used. I too want the hardest surface available which I thought was probably Bamboo but right now the Bamboo top is running $58 more than the Maple top. I'm not sure if that would be worth it.

Walnut Hollow is the name of the manufacturer, not the wood type. The wood for the box is, indeed, basswood.

Cannot idenify the actual wood species, but would liken it to natural birch. I do not think it is a domestic wood, however, I have six of the chairs and they are well built and assemble easily. We have a natural maple cutting board table and these chairs match it well. Recommend you scotchguard the seat cushions. Overall, very pleased with chairs.

rubber wood, it states it on another site (wallys). Similar to pine with a walnut stain.Winsome does a nice job staining in my opinion.

I am not sure what wood was used for the top of this table, but it did not appear to be hardwood like maybe oak or maple, and I remember reading a previous evaluation of the table saying that the wood seemed rather soft. Having said that, it did not seem soft to me and has so far held up well.
