Q1: Are the bookcases themselves laminate or solid wood?
A: This bookcase is made of wood laminate. Laminates actually use photographic reproductions of real hardwood surfaces, but the image quality is so high that it can be difficult to distinguish it from authentic wood. This image is bonded to the surface of a wood composite, which is typically a type of particle board. The result is an uncanny resemblance to solid wood. Laminates are highly durable, inexpensive, and low maintenance. While real wood fades under electrical light and can benefit from a refinishing every five to ten years, laminate has a fifteen-year life span against wear and fading.
