What is cabinet made of? Is it solid wood or MDF?

I do believe it's particle board, no worse than some of the cheaper IKEA stuff. (I just wrote a review for this product.)

It is made of MDF wood: (from Wikipedia)Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is 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.[1] MDF is generally denser than plywood. It is made up of separated fibres, but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood. It is stronger and much more dense than particle board.[2]

Yes, it is made of solid wood, except the drawer box is mdf. Looks very nice, and is sturdy. Great price !

It's made out of mdf. My kids love the kitchen. It's high quality and very nice.

it is ALL engineered wood except for the front doors and trim... everything else is either plywood, or veneered fiberboard....I guess what I call "solid" and what everyone else thinks "solid means are completely different... to me "solid" wood is real straight milled from the tree wood...their definition of "solid" is glued together engineered wood- which technically I guess yes it's "solid"... typical sales gimmickthe only real - milled boards are the doors and and trim along the front portion of the 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.

Solid wood, and very heavy wood--probably a tropical hardwood (made in Vietnam). Only the drawer bottoms and the cabinet back are not solid wood. Pretty good quality, really.

Cabinet top, sides, front and drawer are solid wood and appear to be hardwood. Drawer bottom and back of cabinet are composite materials.

It appears that the legs, top, ledge and shelf portions are all solid wood. I believe only the sides and back are MDF. It's a very solid bench. I'm quite impressed with it and have had the bench for months now.

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.

It appears to be made entirely of solid pine with a lacquer finish. I've already put it together, so I can't be 100% sure that the side panels and center support are solid wood, but it appears and feels that way. The top piece, cabinet doors and legs are definitely solid pine since you can see the continuous grain of wood on all sides of each piece of wood without evidence of a veneer (the product info sheet states that it is solid plantation-raised pine). The only location that appears to be plywood or pressed wood is the back panel, so I wouldn't place the unit with the back exposed. Also, the backing is attached with many prominent brass screws, so that's more reason to place this cabinet up against a wall. I hope that helps! By the way, I got this piece for $266 with free shipping, an absolute bargain for this piece!

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 constructed from a mix of materials. Some of the pieces are real wood and the rest is MDF (fiberboard).

Yes, it's wood. As previously stated below some I'd play wood, but exterior and tops are nice solid wood. I love that its all modular, so can change the design of my home office easily and still retain my storage and work space. Great deal for the price. The only weird thing is that the top of the file cabinet is finished in a shiny high-gloss finish, but all other pieces are finished with a matte finish. Not a huge deal, but thought I'd mentioned. Wasn't a deal-breaker for me, so kept it "as is".

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.

Mike, I've got 3 of these and with all due respect to the other 2 folks who answered your question, this cabinet is NOT made of solid wood. It's MDF covered with a thin wood veneer. It gives the appearance of being made of solid wood--a big plus--but the MDF outgassing is substantial for the 1st 2 or 3 months. That being said, it's a beautiful and sturdy media cabinet, and its internal dimensions are ideal for stacking DVDs, VHS tapes and CDs in a number of different ways so you can fit in more media than the advertised limits state. For "flat-pack"/"some-assembly-required furniture", the design and materials are excellent. Best of luck.

It's solid wood for the most part. The base of the cabinet is particle board. Nice piece
