Looking for a bookshelf made with real wood!
Made of real wood, no veneers or particle board.
We've checked Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel, LL Bean Home & Ballard Designs and haven't seen any that are all wood...can anyone suggest another place we could try?
TIA!

Re: Looking for a bookshelf made with real wood!
honestly, an antique shop.
I REFUSE REFUSE REFUSE to buy "wood" from anyone...it makes me naseous how $$$ these companies are charging for "wood" that is NOT solid ie" tree log is whittled into table...not tree dust is compressed with immense pressure to form table.
we have found a few GORGEOUS pieces already. If I get a chance, I'll take a pic of the mahogany server we picked up last weekend.
SOLID, from around 1910...$155.

Broyhill sells solid wood bookshelves. I love the attic heirloom one and raymour & flannigan has it in their showroom as does 110 furniture.

Beware of Attic Heirlooms. DH and I bought an entire bedroom set of Attic Heirlooms from Rte. 110 Home Furnishings and they came damaged. One draw on the dresser is broken and prevents two draws from closing. Right now we are playing phone tag to get this problem rectified. As for a bookshelf, a while back I was on the hunt for a book shelf with sliding glass doors. I found mine at Raymour and Flanigan. I'm not sure if they still sell it.

Re: Looking for a bookshelf made with real wood!
We have two Ikea Markor bookcases- believe it or not, they are wood. I was surprised because so much of their stuff is that particleboard crap. The back is not solid wood, but the rest is.
ETA- we got ours three years ago and they have held up wonderfully.

Re: Looking for a bookshelf made with real wood!
you can have them made custom if you're looking for something quality that you'll have around forever! You can make in solid Oak, Cherry, Maple, Hickory- or whatever else you prefer- in any stain you want.. To me, this is the route to go b/c you get something YOU want to fit YOUR space.. no sacrifices.

Gothic Wood Furniture.
They have GREAT stuff.
You pick the wood and the finish.
My older son's bedroom set and my younger son's bed come from there.
Heavy, quality stuff. Love it.
