just got 2 mahalos last week - a concert (12 frets similar to one posted by 1klgan above) and a tenor size (18 frets) - never played one before but it is fun. concert size a little cramp to play though i dun hav big fingers - tenor size more natural - but both are fun.
dun think the mahalos u320C/T are solid wood - but built quite decent and i'd say the wood grain is beautiful and nice to touch. holds in tune ok when playing but leave it next day it goes out of tune again - so need to have a tuner handy. or maybe need to tighten the tuner.
supposedly comes with nylgut (aquila?) strings

then again these are my first ukulele - only played guitars

[btw get em cheaper from seller in lelong]

It looks like solid wood so I wonder why do you suspect these are not. How to check?

Anyway I find it difficult to hold a ukulele still while changing chord (haven't got use to it yet) , so I gave it a strap button. Much better now.

i noticed that when they use solid mahagony wood they will put as "solid mahagony", but laminated ones they will advertised as "mahagony" only. check out other brands and their product line - lanikai, kala, etc. even the mahalos website. Solid wood uke listed normally~ RM1K and above. i'd not worry too much about the wood though id like to try one of those solid wood uke - intonation and how well it stays in tune more important to me i guess

btw mahalo tenor add ~RM20
