I am a hobbiest and was in need of 2 very small bed side tables. These were from the used inventory and I only paid [$] bucks for each. My bed is very light almost white, hard wood. I called in advance to find out if these tables were 'solid' wood and that I would be stripping and refinishing to match my bedroom set. Customer service assured me they were completly solid, all pieces. not true unfortunately :{ legs are solid but table services and round bace with drawer are MDF! I was still able to strip and refinish but it was a lot more challenging to do with MDF since anything liquid that touches that stuff makes it explode. However, the talented individual that I am I was able to 'get-r-done' and they look great, they are very strong and well built pieces.
