are the posts made out of cardboard?

Its like a sonotube product very hard, this unit is not your heavy duty $300 plus tree but for the price it is a excellent buy. It should last for years and this company got it to me fast and without damage. besides the cats love it.

No it's made of wood. It is quite sturdy and I am very pleased with it. My cat loves it!

The posts are made of cardboard. It's a heavy compressed type, though... not something you could bend with your hand or anything. The screw popped out of the inside of mine, and when I was trying to fix it I was working with the post. It's hard to tell, because they are covered with faux fur and rope, but you can actually bend up the material with a screwdriver. The platforms are made of wood and are heavier than the posts, if that tells you anything.

They do have a canvas cloth cover with heavy cardboard inside. The covers are quite stiff

No they are paper pulp...like those non-styrofoam egg cartons are made out of. They are very sturdy and great looking.

@Stephen - we recently purchased these. They are not plastic, but heavy duty cardboard. I was disappointed at first, but they are working really well for us.

No. The post is metal. It was part if the hole set. The screws will be to short with a wooden post.

It is very heavy cardboard. It is heavier than I expected. These shelves are really well made.

It is pressed wood, not cardboard. This is a great looking unit when assembled!

Shelves are not made of cardboard but they are very thin woods : Little bit more stable than cardboard. You can place 200 papers in each shelf with no worry. I think this is the best product in the market.

Yes they are held together by screws into brass posts. In my case one of the four screws for the top board deformed before the screw turned so it's now permanent; no problem loosening the four on the bottom board though.

The wood is a sturdy plywood, covered in a faux fur that's soft to the touch. Posts appear to be made of a hard plastic of sorts, wrapped in a twine.

No. They are not made out of wood. It seems like a very hard movable plastic.

Yes, and they are plastic. I have not used them so I can not tell you if they are sturdy.

No. One flimsy post. Kids played once and I threw it away last week after it sat in garage for a year.

The base, box & levels appear to be heavy plywood covered in something like heavy velour and the posts are like heavy plastic covered in rope. The beds up top are also like heavy plywood except for the sides which are more like pillows covered in the same velour.

I really don't think the material underneath is cardboard. My 13 year old son is pretty rough on his binders. He uses it everyday and this is the second year that he has carried the same binder.

I thought they were made of wood. If not it's a very good simulation, the Professor that I ordered them for asked for wood and didn't complain when she received these.

no the ones I got were made of like cardboard... you can compare the cardboard to that of like cereal box or cake mix box. Is sturdy enough for what I needed it. I've had it since Christmas bought it to play with 6 and 9 year olds :)
