Is this real wood ...or MDF w/ an overlay? I've seen both advertised and was wondering. Thank you!

I just checked mine to be sure and it's real wood. It's quality wood and has a rich finish. I am very happy with the one I purchased.

I believe it is real wood as I really had to hammer hard to pet the name plate I ordered on. It is really a beautiful chest and I'm very happy with it.

Not solid wood or MDF for certain. It is some type of chipboard or as others say press board. The laminate does seem to stronger/thicker then what is usually on furniture. Definitely not like a kitchen counter top but I think the laminate will hold up better then most I have seen on this type of "assembly required" furniture. Which is a good thing, a water ring or small spill shouldn't bubble up the laminate and press-board like other brands. This and the floating desk have been good for me so far.

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 entire piece is real wood. The back panel seems to be laminate. None of the item is made of particle board/mdf.

Hi, No this is a MDF Play surface. Its a very nice play surface but it is not as good as slate. Thank you.

It is mdf. Not solid wood. A corner chipped off for us...it was in the back so you don't see it. Still a cute vanity and would order again.

I think the shelves and solid panel sections are actually constructed of Masonite (or equivalent)--the difference from MDF being no glue or resins holding it together. I don't think it would last outdoors even with a good varnish. There are too many places where moisture could get into the board.

It's made out of MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) with a pine veneer on top of it.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).

This has a combination of plywood and solid wood. I actually had to cut into it to modify for my purpose. No MDF, No particle board.

I just received mine and am returning it because I could not find a single surface that was solid wood. I only opened one of the two boxes, but all of the side pieces and the shelf are MDF. Maybe the top is solid, I didn't hassle with the second box to find out. It does seem to be high quality MDF, but make no mistake, this is NOT a wooden piece.

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

It's made of different materials. Product description says "Constructed of MDF with veneer and hardwood legs." This means that the legs are made of wood and the top is made of medium-density fibreboard (MDF) (an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure).

I think it is MDF. It is fully painted and nice and solid, but there isn't one speck of wood showing. I like it.

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

It is made of MDF. It is quite well made -- solid construction and does not rattle, etc. A good buy at this price, though you might wish to swap out the speakers which I find muddy.

Hi! Jo the wood is not real. It made similar to press board. It does look pretty once you get it put together. The wood is also very dark. Good luck with your choice.

I'm not a wood expert, I believe it is real wood. The frame is solid, heavy and when connecting the panels, the screws responded like they were being screwed into real wood, not cheap or fake wood.
