I have a spare 029 that got wet, so the desk portion expanded.
Definitely chipboard.
I think the 1130 also have a chipboard desktop. Many have a
distinctive crack from expansion.

Most (all?) 029/129s have a chipboard top. Also, you S/3 should, right?
The only bit of classic computer stuff I have ever seen with REAL wood
on it was a Computervision system during college. The cabinets has
strips of oak on the front. Quite nice.
I'm pretty sure the desktop on the system 360 and 370 machines were also
chipboard with laminate.
129 keypunches were certainly chipboard with laminate, but I think the 029s
were steel, with a laminate applied to it.
