This product is described as a HARDWOOD product but it is made from PINE. Is this a description error? What type of wood is this?

Yes the description is in error, I was worried about this also and decided with the description on the manufacture's web site I would give it a chance.I'm am pleased to respond that the would is not PINE. Sorry the answer took so long.

There are Pine and Hardwood version of the towers. The difference is comes down to durability, weight, and price. The hardwood towers are made of Mango wood, the Pine towers are made of pine.

No error was made. The blocks are made of pine. FYI if you buy this the bag is around 50lbs.

Its wood products, however its not a solid wood. Its painted except for the top and base. It does seem sturdy enough though. I've enjoyed it.

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.

Solid pine, I believe. The stain is different for each, but all parts are solid pine.

Pine is a primary wood. What they are implying is that it could be made from any of several woods. Note: Bought this set (and from looking at other reviews), there seems to be a quality control problem with Tot Tutor. Our son loves it but several of the wood brackets were cracked and there were paint smears (from the chairs) on the tabletop. I have fixed the brackets and son has made his own paint smears now.

The wood is natural color. I don't know what kind of wood it is because was not in the specification. Might be spruce, just guessing, but it looks good.

Sorry, I do not know what kind of wood it is. It is very sturdy, and not heavy.

It is a type of wood called nato, which is similar to mahogany. It is very, very thin. The finish is not shiny making it look more inexpensive and it is very light. (The weight was listed in the item description, but I guess I didn't realize how light it would really feel.) Makes it look and feel like a kids toy. I really wish the appearance looked more like real wood. It does have a good sound though and the price was right for just learning. It appears to be very nicely made, also.

Hi, it is actually made from burnt hardwood. It is 'food grade'. Some cheaper varieties aren't.

It is solid wood... Not sure if it's US lumber though. Distributed from California if that helps. Probably Canadian lumber.

The wood is very light and soft. Pine, I presume. Assembles in a very snug fashion.

I don't think it is made in the USA. I don't know this for sure but it's just a hunch. Yes, it is pine.

I thought it was pine. I painted mine and then put a heavy varnish on it. It came out awesome and has held up very well.

it is real wood, not sure what kind, possibly cedar kind of smells like cedar, be aware of the company shipping it though we received three of the boxes before getting one that wasn't damaged, just sayin!

I'm not sure what kind of wood but it's dense and light colored. It might be hickory.

Looks like a pine grain, it's not a hardwood. I had to drill 2 holes for the middle shelf. Good sturdy table for the price. I've ordered another, can't beat the price.

It is made of real wood, however it is a super soft pine. It dents fairly easily.
