Is the item pressed wood, engineered wood or plain, solid wood?

Hi Martha, This piece is constructed of pressed wood, something I used to call particle board. Every exposed surface is covered with a synthetic wood finish, and the shelves are covered on every surface. The back is a tempered paper-based material like peg board, but of course, without the holes. I think it might be called "masonite". The holes for the shelves are too far apart causing a waste of vertical space because I can't put the shelves at an optimum location. I had to drill extra holes to solve that issue. The center shelf, however, is fixed in its location. As I said in my review, the doors should have been hinged instead of sliders, eliminating the difficult to access space in the middle of each shelf. Overall, the fully assembled unit is very sturdy. The only cheap feel is the rollers on which the doors move. The doors do not "glide", rather, it feels like a slightly bumpy ride for them. They do not stick and are not difficult to move, just a little feeling of cheapness. I hope that helps you. Lanny

I am not quite sure the difference between engineered wood or pressed wood, but it was not solid wood and had a similar look and feel to pieces I have bought at Walmart. I did like the color and the end results when assembled and purchased 2 others (because it did not hold all of the items that it claimed to.) Overall, happy with purchase.

I think it's engineered wood, and I did not expect to get solid wood for that price. However, it is certainly worth the money, does exactly what I need, and it looks GOOD!

This cabinet is made from pressed wood. It is not solid, real wood. Once it is put together though, the cabinet is sturdy and the sliding doors work well.

I believe engineered wood... The item weighs about 80lbs... And is very heavy

Not sure as my son put it together. Not real wood though. It looks good and holds all the DVD's my son left when he went overseas.

Not sold wood but pressed wood but the best equity of that type. Choose this after looking at solid wood which was out of my price range. Very pleased.

I'm pretty sure it is pressed wood with a dark stain. Despite this, it is an attractive piece. It does not look cheap.

The one I ordered was dark stained wood (I'm guessing pressboard with veneer). But We really like it!

Pressed wood, typical for the item and price range. Nothing fancy, but has held up wonderfully for me.

It is solid wood. This is an extremely nice set. Well worth the money. I absolutely love mine.

Hmm, we have answers running the gamut here. Can the seller please respond? Solid wood or pressed wood with veneer?

It is made of pressed wood, however it is heavier that most other pressed wood pieces I have purchased in the past.

It is made of particle board/en ginger ed wood. I will say though that it is a solid piece, very nice for being engineered wood.

It is made of pressboard. It looks like real wood, but it is that sawdust and glue fabrication that is so prevalent nowadays. Despite that, it is well made and sturdy. I'm quite pleased with it--heavy, too.

It's made if press wood. I've bought two of them and they look good as well as hold tons of our DVDs. Can't beat it for the price.

It is solid piece of furniture. It is nicely made, but not maple or cherry. I really glad I ordered it.

As someone else said it is pressed wood, I think it is also, however it is so well made, you will have to remove the finish to tell. It is really a nice cabinet.

I believe it was real wood. It has withstood the test of time. I was happy with the quality. I gave it as a gift so I do not have it here with me to double check. Nice size easy to store.

It is finished wood. I like the customer service. My table was damaged in shipping shipping and the seller replaced it without problems. Just take pictures of the box if it is damaged before you open it
