Is this unit really mostly if solid wood construction. I understand parts will be veneer but am concerned of too much particle board.

We really like this console. We have a 46" tv sitting on it and it is very sturdy. My husband put this together and I helped a bit. It was easy to put together. For the price, we are impressed with the quality and feel of the unit. I've had other smaller units that I bought at a local store and we put them together. Those units were very wobbly and we knew they wouldn't last very long. This unit will be sturdy enough to last a long time.

The unit is entirely made from particle board with a veneer finish. It is beautiful and fully functional when put together. However, at $399.00 I was expecting solid wood at that price. If you do buy it, use wood glue on all dowels and inside the cams joints when assembling the unit. This will reinforce those joints. Otherwise you will have to use easy slide casters to move the unit.

Basic construction is particle board, but this is a very solid, well built unit. This is a major step beyond stuff like Sauder with which you may be familiar. Visible surfaces are either wood (such as doors and feet) or veneer as on the top.

I believe it is mostly wood because it is very heavy. If it is vaneer, it is very well done! I have purchased the smartcenter as well as another end table and the lift-top table and have been very pleased with them all.

I think it has some solid wood pieces and some MDF, which is denser/better than regular particle board. It looks nice once assembled and is very sturdy, even without using the glue on the joints.

Yes, it seems to be. Mine has been assembled for a long time, but I don't remember even one piece of it being particle board or anything. The finish is nice and it has a very sturdy feel.

The legs and cross beams appear to be solid wood but are actually that really dense particle board. The rest is the standard particle board.

I have not seen any particle board. There is veneer, however. I've had it over a year and am quite pleased. This desk is VERY heavy.

I think that some of the flat surfaces such as the desk part or some of the side panels are particle board. But railing, front and back bed board, ladder are made of wood. Overall the bed seems to be a very good quality.

No. The doors, drawer front and sides, top, and exterior frame are solid wood. The side and back panels are veneer-covered particle board. The shelf, drawer bottom, and cabinet bottom are plywood. It is the coffee station at our office waiting room and has held up well after 9 months of use.

All parts are particle board. With the short length and front edge piece, the shelves won't sag. They're heavy, but once in place, what does that matter?

I'm not sure since I don't know how to tell. But I will say I've had the unit for 3 years, it is holding up very well, and seems to be substantially built. It's solid but not super heavy (so maybe particle board?) but regardless *is* very durable.

It is not made of real wood, but it looks and feels very solid. There are no exposed edges that reveal particle board cross-section.

I have this and it is particle board but a very heavy and high grade. I still polish and dust it the same as all my real wood.

I suppose you could call it a form of "particleboard" but very thick and strong. Finish is very "wood like". The grain is very fine. I have several large volumes residing on my shelves and no problem. Overall, I find this a most attractive and sturdy furniture piece.

It difficult to tell. I would say hardwood. It's very well constructed. It's too well constructed to be particle board, in my opinion. It already comes almost completely assembled, so that's why it's difficult to say.

It's particle board with a veneer. I think it looks pretty nice and it's very heavy. However the edges are a little fragile during assembly.

the unit is made of solid hardwood, not particle board, which is more or less chips glued together and pressed to dimensions and covered with fake/woodgrain laminate, cheaper furniture etc. is generally made of particle board

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
