Upon first looks, the wood seems fine and sturdy but definitely is not suitable for anyone older than 2 years old. My wife sat on the bed with one of our toddlers at the time and the side wooden rail which holds the mattresses frame snapped in half. Was not easy to fix and/or easy to return. No return was granted in fact. Would not recommend. I owed the bed for less than 6 months when it happened

It's pressed wood with veneer but very high quality. Very heavy. Beautiful.

I don't remember the kind of wood. You might check with the company. I will say the wood pieces are very nice for the cost. We have had many nice comments about the set when it is out.

The wood is pretty lightweight for both pieces and board; holding the entire package I would say about 5-8 pounds. I was surprised at how lightweight it is, but it IS real wood. Just not heavy duty.

I agree with previous comment, it's not hardwood. In fact, I would say it's probably not even pine. I suspect it's some [semi-soft] wood of asian origin. However, it seems sturdy enough for the purpose - a kids bed that will see plenty of abuse. It won't be a family heirloom but I think it will hold up until my soon is old enoungh to outgrow it. I am faily picky about having quality furniture and I am satisfied that I got what I paid for. Hope that helps.

Wood is solid with a good finish. Looks just like it is posted. Mine was damaged in the mailing and I did not return it as it was too much trouble as I live in Canada. I glued the damaged parts. I do not have to move it around so it is just fine.

I'm quite sure it is solid wood as it's very sturdy and a bit heavy. I'm guessing it's a hardwood but it's merely a guess.

It is in our lake house....so I don't have it here to double check to be sure, but I am almost certain it is solid wood. It turned out really nice....have gotten lots of compliements on it....very solid piece.

not sure, it was a gift to a grand kid. and I never thought about asking if it was wood or not. BUT he liked it a lot so that must be good.

I think it's made of plywood! Definitely not plastic, but it's really light, so it must be a cheap wood.

It is solid wood...but it is not hardwood. It isn't a solid piece of oak, or cherry, or mahogany, etc. The finish is veneer. I just wanted to clarify.

It is solid wood, but I do not know what kind. The company rep. was very helpful, and would probably answer your questions.

Sorry for the late response.. I bought it for my 12 year old son.. The wood feels soft but once put together it is pretty sturdy... But my son only weighs 100 lbs

Hi, Priscilla, I'm not sure what kind of wood it was, but FYI, despite the description saying that it was entirely hardwood, it was not. I don't remember now exactly which parts of it were not solid wood. We eventually replaced it and gave it away.

I'm not 100% certain but I'm pretty sure it is not real wood - most likely some form of composite. It actually feels a little more dense than you'd find in most furniture woods.

It appears to made very durable. It looks like a very light colored & smooth textured wood. I believe it could be easily stained. It doesn't weigh a lot, but again, I was very impressed with its over all strength. I hesitated to make this purchase for fear the durability wouldn't be good because of the price, however, upon using it, the DID stand holds my dvd's securely in place and preforms much better than the other two that I purchased a few years ago. As I stated before, you may want to stain it if you don't like the light color. I would purchase this item again and would highly recommend it to others. I hope this information has been helpful.

Looks like solid wood. We would be very happy with it but for the following. Within hours of our order at the $319 price, the same item,from the same source sold the exact item for $150 . I wrote an e-mail to both Amazon (which we have the prime membership,that I thought was to prevent just this type of situation.) and PayPal. I have not received a solution yet. I really hate to say it,but buyer beware. The unit is nice,but I hate to get snuckered.
