I'm guessing that the manufacturer called it "fruitwood".

Top, legs, shelves or carcass?

I think the handles are metal. Not 100% sure.

I can't see the edges, but I'd be very surprised if they used a thick
slab of white oak on top of an mostly MDF carcass. From where I'm sitting
I'd guess laminated particle board. Might not even be real wood laminate.

I have a similar little cabinet. Stuck it in Mom's estate sale. It didn'=

I can discover something, if it's important to know. I had spray painted t=

Definitely NOT maple and certainly an oak.

Probably white altho somewhat lacking in the amount of flecked
showing...but it could have been graded to have had them separated out.

Not impossible to be red, but would expect a few darker in such an area,
but again that depends on source as to what would be rare/unusual/common
mix.

Need some end grain up close to be able to say for certain.

LOL.. I got a good chuckle from that one.

The side tables are what I questioned.

Oh. So much glare on those impossible to say much, if anything.

My first guess there was they were just laminate counter tops.

If it is actually veneered, could be most any white hardwood from what
can see.
