What is the bookcase made of?

I do not think is real wood. It is a very heavy mdf material. I am very pleased with it. It is heavy. Way better than the target brand shelves, and better than the closet mate shelves. Exactly what i was looking for for under$100. I would buy again

Seems to be particle board with an enamel coating of some sort. Tough shelf to put together but seems strong and sturdy. Check the dimensions as it was narrower than I expected.

It appears to be made of fake leather, over plastic (sounds likes plastic when in use). Quality is fairly good on the one I got. You probably cannot stack books and boxes on it, but normal use, it should last.

It took about 2 hours to assemble..It is a great bookcase but it took 3 of us to get it done!

This bookcase is particle board/veneer construction. I have had it 5 or 6 months, loaded with lots of heavy books, no problems yet. As long as you are not expecting a solid wood bookcase, you won't be disappointed.

It is a put together of a bunch of green colored wood dowls. If you get one you should glue each piece as you assemble it or make sure its not moved or it will fall to pieces. They connect with black join pieces like pvc. The cover is clear with a zipper down both sides in front. The metal racks inside are green.

I also ordered the book case and had a heck of a time assembling it. I don't remember if there was an instruction page with it. My wife says there was. Anyway, with luck and perseverance, the book shelf came to life and I am very pleased with it.

Compressed wood. It's pretty heavy though. It has adjustable shelves so you could use it as a bookcase. The shelves in the door are not adjustable though.

Particle wood. It is thick particle wood but still particle wood. I bought one for my wife a few years ago and she has it fully loaded with books and there is only a slight sag to the shelfs out on the unsupported end. It would be hard to notice if you didn't have an eye for that sort of thing and weren't looking for it.

It is constructed of a canvas fabric. There is a metal rectangular frame at the very top and a metal rod inside the the front edge of each shelf. I bought one and a few months later I ordered a second one because the work great for both my shoes and my husband's.

We like this bookcase. No longer have that info. Should be on listing and available from seller.

The sides are cardboard with a textured vinyl material cover and the spines are hubbed with a fake leather look cover. They are very nice looking on the shelf and are well made. I have eight of them and they are such a space saver. I really like them.

Particle board. I will say that it looks nicer than most particle board. The flaws are less noticeable now that it is full of books. With a marker designed for the purpose, I may be able to make them even less so. I suppose we can't expect much better for that price (I nice, wood bookcase would be many hundreds of dollars more).

I am not sure what it is made out of but I am satisfied with it. It is durable and is a nice shelf stand.

Hi Rachel,It appears to be pressed wood/particle board. The wood grain that you see is a false veneer. It does look nice but it isn't actual wood grain -- which is one reason why it will not support the weight of a shelf full of very large books. Over time the shelving will bend if there is a lot of weight on it.Doug

The panel in the back is Cardboard. In fact the entire shelving system is made from laminated cardboard. There is no wood.

It is made of that fake wood material. But it is strong. In the lower shelves, I have a fire proof box, which is heavy, and all my photo albums. In the upper shelves, I have all my office supplies, paper, printer supplies, extra computer wires, dvds, cds, some books. And I have cans, that I place all my nail polish and barrettes, and miscellaneous items. It keeps everything neat and organized.
