It says it's solid wood and hollowcore. Which is it- solid or hollow? Is it sturdy enough to support a big printer/fax machine?

I think it probably had hollow core door s or something. I am not sure I'd think it was sturdy enough to hold printer/fax machine. They are not extremely heavy duty, but they look good in a closet.

We have our large flat screen TV sitting on top of it and all of our components sitting inside of it. The whole mess sits on top of a TV stand. We cut a section out of the back to accommodate the cords and have used it to have a place for our DVD player, etc. because our TV stand did not have enough room. It seems to be pretty sturdy and it is pretty. Blends beautifully with the TV stand, etc.

They are particle board and pretty sturdy, mine are full of books and magazines and that can be quite a bit of weight and there is no sagging at all.

The panels are framed in "solid wood" (more of a composite) with thin (~1/10") hardboard surfaces. I could see this clearly on one unit that came damaged (punched through in the packaging; promptly replaced by the vendor, btw). The manufacturer doesn't claim they'll support a lot of weight, and they won't-especially the double-span versions like 329206. They'll bow in the middle, at least, like one of my units did, loaded with just a CD collection (in plastic trays) on it (total ~15 lb?). This is why, when I used two double-wides joined together as a base for my 75-lb plasma HDTV, I used a 3/4" plywood panel across the top of them as the actual loadbearing surface. The cubes' panels' strength is pretty much all in their perimeter framing, not the square flat surfaces. For a drawer unit storing bottles, I reinforced its bottom with a cut-to-fit square of thin Masonite, so concerned was I that a full bottle might punch through. Also, the surfaces are covered in a minimal woodgrain-printed paper-based sheet, so that won't stand much abuse beyond wiping with a soft damp cloth occasionally. One of my panels was marred when I wasn't super careful removing its temporary-adhesive part-number label! I've thus been extremely careful with these units' surfaces since that day-e.g., I use felt pads under the plastic CD trays. As furniture, these storage units are intelligently designed and respectably manufactured, but their very reasonable pricing is reflected in their materials' durability. They are MINIMALLY engineered; these vendors aren't giving anything away. The customer just has to be extra respectful of their limitations when putting them to use ... as I have. Can't beat the price.

I will ask my husband tomorrow but I think it is solid wood. We saw it at Raymore and Flannigan first. And then ordered it online due to it being less money on line.

It is sturdy enough to put home printer. There is no wheel locking mechanism, however, the wheels are not "high quality" super smooth ones, weight of cabinet and its contents make it steady enough so it won't move easily.

Looks solid to me. Can hold two large metal bird feeders without bending. Hope that helps

It's wood. May be a wood composite. Not plastic or anything of the sort - not mine anyway. I've enjoyed mine, it's quite durable and functional. Have a heavy printer on it and it shows no stress whatsoever. Hope this helps.

The unit I received is well built. It is supporting a Brother Laser printer, after 6 months no problems. Looks great on my desk. Hope this helps, Bob

It's very sturdy and strong, including the shelves. The wood is unfinished, which I don't mind for a pantry cart, but for an office you may want to varnish/paint it. It should work well for a printer.

It's hollow, they're pretty much always hollow. It is a thick-gauge steel though, so no worries, it should handle a reasonable weight...

This bookcase is particle board/veneer construction. I have had it 5 or 6 months, loaded with lots of heavy books, no problems yet. As long as you are not expecting a solid wood bookcase, you won't be disappointed.

It's hollowed. I was going to write that it was solid, but decided to double check. The edges are foled back so that there is a very narrow slit in the back. If it helps, the handle is very sturdy and until I double checked, I thought the it was solid. My fingers never feel pinched when opening the cabinet.

I believe that it is solid wood, but is very cheap. Parts of the wood had huge splintered pieces. I sent this back before someone got hurt on it.

I have 3 - 4 large volumes on each shelf. I would use one of the lower shelves for a printer. Overall quite sturdy, but a heavy object higher up might induce sway stress.

It's solid wood. My brother (233lbs) and myself (205lbs) sat on it with two kids in our lap (20lbs & 60lbs).

I'm not sure how much of it is "solid" wood,but it seems very well made. I recently had a friend who weighs very close to 400lbs sit on it last week and it held up just fine. Not to mention it looks of quality wood. To answer your question specifically,I'm not sure.

It is sturdy but I don't think it is solid wood. Only exception the side handles. They broke after few months I had the unit. I ask for replacements but the company does not provide such spare parts. So now I am stuck with the unit w/out side handles. Well......

Not hollow. It is solid... Made out of some sort of composition material. The mice last my cat a long time of romping around with & of chewing on but eventually the stuffing starts to come out. It looks like composition material...or maybe could be described as newspaper which as been wetted down, dried, then shredded into little chunks. Looks like paper mâché somewhat

It is hollow and has a Screw as well as a cap for the Bottom. Good solid Material. Would work well with AMD 65 or SBR
