Q: Is this made with solid wood?

submitted by MLH - 4 years ago
  • A: Sauder furniture is made from an environmentally friendly material called 'engineered wood,' a combination of high quality hard wood and soft wood materials which are residuals of other lumber processes. These materials are bonded together with a synthetic resin, and then applied to high heat and pressure. The result is dense, strong panels which are then laminated and cut into pieces. Engineered wood is made to precise design specifications which are tested to meet national standards.

    The bookcase is heavier, sturdier and not cheap-looking like those of typical low cost retailers.

    Good, but not as good as they used to be

    I have bought Sauder products in the past, so when I was looking for a bookcase, and the Sauder name popped up, I clicked, and a few days later, the package arrived. It seems Sauder has lost their edge. There are two ways in which the quality is less than I expected. 1) The simulated woodgrain on the back panel was printed off-center, leaving it unprinted along one edge. I got around this by installing the panel so the defect was at the bottom, where it will be covered by books, so people won't see it. But still, it should have been better. 2) The screw holes used to be covered by plastic plugs, that weren't elegant, but at least they looked like they were supposed to be there, but now the screw holes are covered with faux-woodgrain stickers that try to match the bookcase, but don't; they look cheap. Overall, the product looks like it was designed by accountants.

    I purchased two Beginnings 3-shelf bookcases in 2008. This year (2025) I purchased a third. This new bookcase is narrower and shorter (and lacks a kick panel), with an inside volume about 70% of the older model. It is now impossible to set one shelf for binders and two for textbooks, one shelf being good only for small paperbacks. You can make a bookcase narrower, but you can't make it shorter. Books haven't shrunk. At best this is a large two-shelf case. Fortunately, I have a pair of bookends I used to create a fourth shelf on top. I am, however, left with two stacks of books that won't fit. Shrinkflation has now hit furniture.

    The shelf supports are not large enough to hold the shelves, especially if there's something heavy. They are just little baby pins.
