Is the actual shelf made of wood? I'm concerned about the baskets leaving rubbing/scrapping marks as they are pulled out repeatedly over time.

It is made of wood and the piece is solid once it's put together. Beware though that I have made the mistake of purchasing twice from this company and both times the product was shipped to me damaged. For this one in particular, the front-facing bar was literally snapped in half and shoved into the box. It's probably worth the cheap price tag in the end but not without a three-week headache.

The baskets do leave marks after only a short time of use. I started lifting them rather than sliding them after about a month.

Yes it is wood. I have a similar storage unit and eventually the wood does show rub marks.

I'm not sure. If its not real wood its a good fake. I don't have anything heavy in the baskets so I havent had any scratching. You could put some of those felt things on the bottom of the basket Iif you're worried about it.

I do not think is real wood. It is a very heavy mdf material. I am very pleased with it. It is heavy. Way better than the target brand shelves, and better than the closet mate shelves. Exactly what i was looking for for under$100. I would buy again

The exterior is real wood, the shelving is mdf. Makes it really easy to clean the shelving. Nice sturdy piece. Much better quality than IKEA pieces.

Hi,they are not cardboard, could be very thin wood or something else. They look good, you can not tell without touching them. Once the shelves are full no one would know if wood or other material, maybe some kind of plastic.

The back is made of the usual fiber-board stuff. I am VERY pleased with our bookcases (2 of them) -- they are extremely sturdy, attractive, and, after nearly a year, are showing absolutely no signs of warping, leaning, bowing, sagging, or looking "cheap" in any way. As long as they are full of books and against a wall, you can't really see the backing, anyway, though it does have an attractive wood pattern.

The frame is made of metal, and the shelves are made of laminated particle board. I've had the shelves for a while and they are quite sturdy and attractive. Hope that helps!

No, the top and lower shelf appear to have been milled from dimension lumber (although lighter weight than traditional dimensional lumber you might pick up at the hardware store, e.g., a 1 x 10" plank) and the top is inlaid with a light colored wood to produce a nice pattern. Overall the piece is well made, sturdy, and was relatively easy to assemble.

Yes it's wood. I'm a round corner fanatic & the cut corners on the top shelf show wood grain, not particle board. Also, if you look where the little plugs to hide the screws go, you can see it is wood.

Particle wood. It is thick particle wood but still particle wood. I bought one for my wife a few years ago and she has it fully loaded with books and there is only a slight sag to the shelfs out on the unsupported end. It would be hard to notice if you didn't have an eye for that sort of thing and weren't looking for it.

Particle board is the backing. The shelves and frame appear to be wood but don't quote me because I didn't research the material, just needed it to display some nick nacks.

NO, it is unfinished wood. It will scratch if you cut on it. But, I do love it. I looks good and serves it's purpose. Great for storing stuff.

I don't know. It's sort of a thin Formica-like veneer over some sort of pressed wood, I'd imagine. The boards that form the sides, top, bottom and shelves are fairly thick and heavy. Very heavy. The 'beadboard' piece that forms the back is very thin, comes folded -- it looks nice but is not what I'd call 'wood.' That said I am very happy with these pieces. I ended up buying 14 of them to do a total makeover in my basement craft room and office and it's been a year now; they are perfect for my needs and very roomy and sturdy. Whatever they may be made of.

It is made of wood, although the bottom of the drawers may be MDF, but the assembly is very poorly done with useless glue. I dropped a drawer by mistake and it totally fell apart. Luckily I could glue it back together. As the old saying goes you get what you pay for.

The shelves are sturdier but there is pressed wood used as an overhang and for decoration. I don't expect this unit to survive a move which is such as shame.

Yes, it is a cardboard. It looks pretty good, but it is indeed not wood. There are also around six flat round headed screws in the back through the backing and into the interior shelves. I took a picture of it but for some reason I don't see an option on this item to post customer pictures of the product.

No particle board, it's made from real wood. I think the shelves are plywood. Very nice piece overall but the finish is a little rough

Wednesday AM..... Hi George..... The shelf has to be assembled upon receipt, but from my personal experience I can testify it's NOT difficult! All the screws and an allen-wrench are included ~ the pieces fit perfectly and the shelf is very solid when assembled. Real wood, not particle-board..... I'm very satisfied with my shelf and would quickly order another one if needed..... Regards, Jim
