Material is wood. Should I assume it's MDF?

I posted the deal because I really like the style. (I'm over the farmhouse barn door TV stands.) This TV stand is nicer than the one I have at home.

Plenty of people like to higher up on the wall , or (gasp) above a fireplace still....but this far from ergonomically optimal.

Since another commenter mentioned, "don't set your expectations too high thinking you're getting real wood for the price", let's talk about the surface versus the substrate. Lower quality furniture is surfaced with a permeable printed paper surface material. This means it is highly susceptible to moisture damage…even room humidity. A plastic, vinyl or polymer layer is added to the printed paper to reduce susceptibility to moisture and provide better wear. RTF or Rigid Thermofoil is nonporous and provides superior surface wearability but is much more costly than paper or vinyl print. Finally, wood veneer can be applied to fiberboard or plywood to provide a true wood surface. The wearability of veneer is determined by its thickness and finish.
Both fiberboard and plywood have advantages (and disadvantages) when compared to solid wood so, each material can be best depending on how it's used and how it's finished.
