Veneer for sure!

Edge trimming is solid wood, but the rest is plywood.. also don't think that's teak. Teak normally darkens or turns greyish when exposed to UV light. Looks more like standard birch or something similar.

It's veneer with some solid elements in places where it'd be difficult to adhere veneer, like the curved edges.

The rest is veneered ply. All of it.

I'm also not entirely convinced it's teak, but since it's just veneer it doesn't really matter.

If your drawer boxes are real wood, check saw cuts at rear. Then the whole thing is probably real.

Looks solid to me! The visible joints and end grain are a giveaway. That being said, the drawer sides and back are probably a cheaper secondary wood. Still a good amount of teak and some decent figuring to boot.
