Description says "real curved wood". Are the legs really solid wood, and not an engineered wood product like MDF with a veneer?

I was concerned about this as well. Bought it anyway. It's a solid and beautiful desk no matter what kind of wood product it is. I'd buy it again without even thinking about it for the money.

They might be solid wood underneath but they are a veneer covered that came a bit chipped.

It is a good grade of plywood. Plywood is much more stable than solid wood in furniture that tends to warp and crack.

MDF or not, it's a pretty solid piece. I really enjoyed this desk but not a lot of room for anything other than monitor on top. With the monitor stand of an Asus PB278Q, I had roughly 11inches to work with.

No, it is not. It is pressed wood with faux oak finish. It is heavy, but not real wood.

Yes it is solid wood. The instructions tell you not to titen the legs when putting the table together.there right you need the excess room in order to put the bottom shelf in after the shelf is installed then you can tighten the legs

I would say it's probably not real wood, but it looks really good and was easy to assemble. The texture is smooth, not grainy.

Hi! I got the item and it is quite a substantial furniture piece once it is put together. I was very happy that my father was visiting me when it arrived because he spent an evening putting it together. It doesn't look like it is fake; it is not real wood but it looks great. You can not tell it came in pieces. It is very well made. I am very happy with it. Cheers, cms

Well, I don't know what MDF is, but these at least look like real wood. I am very happy with the quality--I'm basically using two of them for plant stands and gave the biggest one away to my friend who helped me put them together because he and his wife have their house decorated in Mission style. They are very attractive and I have gotten a lot of compliments on them.

It seems to be a decent quality but I'm not sure. Initially I thought it was a type of veneer and pressed wood but I think it's actually a solid wood.

It is not solid wood but rather finely compressed cellulose with a veneer of wood laminate. Definitely not particle board. The weight is very close to solid wood.

Not sure of the exact type of wood, but definitely solid, not particle or plywood like. It is very sturdy.

It states as "top made of fiberboard, legs made of solid wood". This desk could easily pass for solid wood top and legs both as it is very sturdy, and good looking--not cheap looking at all. I recommend highly for a small space.

The legs are solid. Probably ash, but with veneer. The doors and paneling are most likely MDF with veneer. Understand your desires and I was in the same boat but eventually settled for this one on price vs. solid/custom wood and am pretty satisfied. Its done well and not a cheap veneer. Expect it to hold up pretty well.

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.

No, it's not. It has a pine veneer over MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard).MDF contains a mixture of wood solids, wax, and resin bonded together under high temperatures and high pressure to create a uniform wood-like product that is far cheaper than real wood. When furniture is sold unassembled, nowadays it's usually MDF. This is even the case for high-end "fine furniture" pieces (even ones that are already assembled).

It's made of different materials. Product description says "Constructed of MDF with veneer and hardwood legs." This means that the legs are made of wood and the top is made of medium-density fibreboard (MDF) (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).

the curved roof, not the one with the solar panel on it, is a particle board. other than that, everything else is solid rubberwood. i just checked right now as it is sitting in front of me.

I don't think it's the normal mdf, but it's not all wood either. But it's very sturdy. We got ours a few years ago and both our kids are using it and it is a great product! and easy to put together.

It is probably mdf - or some other type like that - it's not real wood - you won't find real wood for that price - it's sturdy and holds a lot - looks like wood- easy to put together- I'm pleased w them (I have 2 side by side - looks like one cabinet)
