I was not expecting much for the price but the specifications stated "wood veneer" if tested I really don't think there would be an ounce of wood detected but I am no expert. The table stained on day one. The entire set is cute in appearance but not sturdy (which I did not expect), but far cheaper grade than I expected. I bought it for a small business of 3 office employees so the need for it was just to have a table to eat lunch on.  The table top and seats are very light and hollow. The material is very much like plastic "wood look" for now it will serve its purpose and if it last a year than it was worth it. Would not buy for a home unless you are really on a tight budget.
