Is the cabinet made from solid wood or that press board (MDF, LDF)

It appears that it is indeed a very good quality MDF, it is a heavy piece of furniture, because of the weight I feel it is a good quality piece of furniture. I would purchase the same item again if I needed another

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.

MDF with thin wood veneer. I know because I drilled holes and cardboard came out.

I believe it's MDF (particle board). It has a nice semi glass dark cherry finish to it, and it has a good weight to it, feels very solid.

The cabinet is made of wood. I bought this one for the depth, and installed it 4 years ago. It's a nice cabinet!

Hi Carol, Our cabinets are a combination construction, as you will not find a 100% solid wood cabinet on the market unless you get it custom made. Many competing models are advertised as solid wood when in fact only the structural frame of the cabinet is made of solid wood, and the doors, drawers, and other panels are made of fiberboard. Our frame, doors and drawers are 100% solid birch wood! We leave the drawer interiors unpainted so that you can see exactly what they're made of. Thank you! Kitchen Bath Collection

The frame pieces and drawers are wood, but the majority is pressed board. We had water damage to ours and the insurance company said it could not be fixed, so replaced it.

The one we purchased was both - the top, sides, spindles and door frames were wood which were the important parts. - the bottom, inside shelf were HDF (high density fiberboard) and the back was a thick type of cardboard. We looked at many of these and almost all of them, even the $500 ones, were partially build of HDF and "other" materials. My wife and myself are extremely satisfied with it and after having it for over a year - it still looks new and is easy to clean. Would give it a 5 stars for this price range - great quality and fine workmanship. WalMart, Target, Best Buy, etc.... has nothing that would compare to the quality of this unit.

The legs, drawer sides and fronts, and the structure attached to the legs are solid wood. There is a wood veneer on the front and the rest is medium density fiberboard with a white finish. I can't tell if there is a thin veneer on it or just paint, but the appearance is good. I had never looked that closely before and was surprised that it is mdf.

I believe it is pressed boards, with a laminate finish. I am very happy with mine.

I'm not sure, not wood, probably pressed board. However, I would highly recommend this cabinet. I use as a center isle to put utensils I use at the stove or kitchen counter, etc. It is a nice piece of furniture and receives a lot of compliments. The marble top is classy.

It is solid wood; the only part that may not be is the bottom of the top drawer, not a big issue for me. It's a great little filing cabinet as well as being a very good looking piece of furniture.

The only thing not solid wood is the back of the cabinet and it is a nice grade of plywood. It is very nice and I would highly recommend it.

The unit itself is very well constructed of wood veneer over MDF. The doors are solid hardwood frames and panels and frames on glass doors. I don't know what wood is used but in the Cinnamon Mahogany finish it blends in very well with the much more expensive cherry and mahogany furniture in my living room.

It is made of MDF = medium-density fiberboard. Meaning, it is the cheap engineered laminated wood product that is widely used for in-stock cabinets (and other cheap furniture like this one) at big box stores that crumbles in no time. Bought it for the design to build with a better wood later.
