What exactly does "composite" mean? Wood pieces, like particle board?and then of course you have to be concerned about what the glue might be.

It is a composite, but it looks nothing like particle board. It is very smooth and sturdy, and the end has a nice slope. I've had mine several months and use it regularly and I love it. It is a little pricey, but it does a great job of picking a fully loaded pizza off the counter and onto a hot stone in the oven. I highly recommend it. If you don't drop it, you will never know it is composite.

It is made of a hard smooth Masonite material. No glue involved. Not a partical board at all.

Thanks Steve for the thoughtful replies. The first question was the very item I was worried about and your response was reassuring. I am assuming that the offer for additional glue adhesive applies to anyone who makes the purchase? Because of your responses, I am going to make the purchase. Thanks.

To be honest, not 100% sure. I believe it is real wood. It's hand painted and very sturdy. There are no rough areas that indicate composite wood. I truly love this piece. It's a little smaller than I expected, but it is for a child, so it makes sense to me.

I'm no expert but the majority of the pieces feel like solid wood, of which kind I have no idea, but the pieces are solid. Composite pieces would be the bottom of the 3 drawers and the front panels of the doors. They are thinner than the other pieces but not flimsy. I am very satisfied with this furniture. It looks great and is well-made.

It is not composite since a composite, by definition, has wood in it. It is made from virgin polystyrene. The boards are springier and lighter than composite but this is very well made and will last you many years. When I say lighter than composite, I do not intend to imply this is a light chair. It can be moved by one person with some difficulty.

I'm pretty sure it is some form of formica laminate, which means particle board or other cheap wood veneered with a hard laminate sheet. It is pretty durable unless you plan to use it as a cutting surface (e.g.: to cut stencils). In this case it will not work. It is washable and as other laminates it should take mild solvents and soap just fine. Hope it helps.

According to the product/item description, it is made "from rubber wood and rubber wood veneers over particle board"

Particle board. It is not as compressed as I was expecting. We sent it back. Hope that's helpful.

what do you mean by "finishing"? a finish on a wood pen? putting a pen together? this glue is just like crazy glue...except it will fill in the gaps...its good stuff

If the cabinet is plastic then it's a very good imitation of oak wood. My phone cabinet looks like wood and feels like wood, but I wouldn't bet the ranch that it isn't laminated particle board. It could also be composite material but unless I take it off the wall and cut it apart I can't say for sure what it's made of. I do believe though that there is oak wood in the cabinet construction and it's appearance it very good. However I don't give it great marks on it's operational abilities. The speaker phone no longer works and it doesn't do a good job on volume control. The ringer was so low I had to buy an external ringer so I knew when the phone rang.

I would say its particle board coated in a thin layer of Formica. It had held up ok for the past few months although it is hard to keep clean.

Mark, I am not expert, but I feel this is not made from the composite wood. Finishing and weight of the item is makes me feel like made it from hardwood.

If there is any wood in them, there might be a little bit of particle board. They have an awful lot of styrofoam. I went through two of these and both of them arrived damaged in the boxes. It's a beautiful design and they might be great for one-time use, like a party. Not a great piece for the home.

Composite leather means it's made from leather fibers. I think it's analogous to wood particle board. The feel is pretty tacky; feels less synthetic and more like true leather.

I'm not sure what the wood is but it is solid. The walnut veneer is beautiful and in putting it together, I saw no evidence of the particle board stuff used to make furniture these days. If you decide to buy this, the only change we made when assembling this piece was that my husband put a drop of wood glue in each hole to attach the back to the sides for added strength as he and another family member weigh between 275 and 300. Anyone can sit on it with no problems and I have had it for about 8 months now.

Excuse me, my English is not good.The table may be made of high density compression board. It is the surface of wood grain. It looks good.
