Why is everyone saying they are pastic when the description says REAL WOOD and stained?

HMM....not sure, they are real wood, perhaps its the coating that's on them that some people may think makes them from plastic.

Actually it is all wood - no composite material and no veneer that I can tell. But you would have a problem staining it. There is a nice clear finish on them and you would have to sand every part of it to get stain to adhere to it - and if you missed a spot, you would have blotches. You need to get something unfinished I think.

when it arrived, it said wood veneer; that is all I know; but it is not solid wood like the info seemed to indicate in the description.

I don't think so- I believe that it means there may be variations in color due to the natural grain in the wood and the staining process. I do like mine.

These are finished, not raw wood. You would have to strip them first to stain them.

Run your cursor over the image. You can clearly see from the grain that it is made out of Bamboo. The stained colour looks close to a Maple finish, so this is maybe what is confusing you.

The pieces are pretty sturdy, and the catalog from Home Decorators Collection states it is "hardwood veneer". I have absolutely no idea what that really means. I have the white variey and put it together almost alone. It is probably press board or pine. You could contact HDC. Their number is 800-245-5233. Their Customer Service was very good. They probably have a better answer to your question.

This is the second one I've owned (first a single, now a queen size). This is real wood. The frame is stained, the bed slats are unfinished wood. I assembled it by myself, everything fit, I'm very happy with this bed. It sits low, less than a foot off the floor I think. I put a regular mattress over the bed slats & that works for me.

It is all fake wood, but very, very heavy. The top is made of the same material, but with a heavier finish on it than the sides.

It's 'raw', un-stained or finished wood. The top drawer does have a felt-like bottom, the bottom drawer does not.

Yes it is real wood veneer. Looks good quality and not cheap. Only the back is fiberboard. All the sides and front and top look like solid wood but are wood veneer. Had it awhile now and it looks good.

I bought the espresso one so obviously it was already stained and finished. But I'd say this one is probably too, just finished with the gloss over natural. It's the same product and price, just different color. If assume anything that required staining or gloss would specify unfinished wood.

The wood is natural color. I don't know what kind of wood it is because was not in the specification. Might be spruce, just guessing, but it looks good.

It is stained the same color as the rest of the unit but is pressed material not wood. It doesn't look totally finished from the back but wouldn't look bad I would say. If you have someone handy, you could likely easily modify it to make it perfectly finished. We love love love our unit!

must be a mis-print. My table is solid wood. I absolutely love it. I'm using it as an island in my kitchen.

It's boards of real wood (white pine?) that have been glued together and shaped and sanded. They are sturdy and look fine for casual use.

Pressed wood particleboard, either way, I was expecting the wood to be real, but the only "real wood" is the legs the highboy stands on; hence, the low marks I gave on the product review. I am tired of poor quality products, likely made in some third world country and not in the USA. All the tools were dumped into one bag, there is a real wtf moment, especially when you have to count the individual tool pieces and that most of the unlabeled pieces are particleboard-not REAL WOOD.
