It is not wood. It is not press board . It does not appear to be plastic. I do not know what it is but it is strong and well made with wood appearance .

Not sure because the seat is covered with some sort of smooth material. The color is gorgeous and the quality is very good. You can't actually see wood grain or anything is smooth.

Wood. Nice seat, easy to install, I have had it for about six months, no complaints.

The seat is some sort of produced wood with no seams! The old one I had which was much more $$$, had several seams and not as attractive. For the price, this one is worth buying. Of course there's another selling for about $80 and if you like spending $$$, go for that. Otherwise, enjoy the good looks of this seat and its nice finish (especially if your butt is on it).

I just received this unit yesterday and assembled it last night. It is NOT wood. There are bits of wood here and there, but very little. It's fiberboard (MDF) with veneer. It actually looks quite nice, but given the fiberboard construction it is, as a previous comment suggested, very easily damaged. When something strikes the surface, it dents or tears the fiberboard and the veneer is crushed or scraped away. Mine, too, had some shipping damage, but not in a conspicuous enough location to send it back.

I think the shelves and solid panel sections are actually constructed of Masonite (or equivalent)--the difference from MDF being no glue or resins holding it together. I don't think it would last outdoors even with a good varnish. There are too many places where moisture could get into the board.

Ours was a hardwood mdf with hardwood veneer. See my 2 star review for a photo.

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.

I would guess it is MDF with oak overlay, but couldn't tell you for sure without chipping away it. Very sturdy construction either way.

Particle board- probably not even MDF. Worse, the hinges are certainly not solid chrome- nothing is. Nearly all toilet.hinges now are made of assorted junk and plated- good chance of them giving out before the veneer.

The table is made of MDF with a laminate surface. This makes it more resilient than your standard wood.

They are made of MDF, but are very sturdy. For the price, you won't find better.

It's all wood, and my grandchildren love putting things in the pocket in the center. I don't know what MDF means. Sorry!

As far as I can tell just the base is MDF. The rest appears to be solid wood and feels quite solid too.

Depends what wood the cupboard is made from? A man made board like MDF would be fine however, a expensive wood like oak would peel away with the grain. It does stick to the wood stronger after time if on a smooth surface. It does not stick too well on curves or edges.

it is mdf and I would not recommend this product. The drawers and rails have totally fallen apart and it would be better to buy from Ikea than this thing.

Shoreliner, It is made from MDF (higher grade of particle board). Not sure about the second part of your question though...Sturdy enough for what?

I can't help you, my cat tree is two feet shorter and my cat weighs half what yours does. I wouldn't worry about "toxic" MDF however.

The unit is made from MDF but it is sturdy and little carving details is nice. It fit in with my other cabinet from Crate and Barrel.

It is not made of cheap particle boards like the majority of cheap bookcase in the market. This unit is Made in USA with MDF. Besides the material, the molding and trimming included in the package will cover the MDF and you cannot tell it is not hard wood. Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres. This book case is solid as a rock. I read few negative review from people that either have not assembled it right or simply got some other product. Mine is pretty much indestructible.
