Not quite sure how we mssed this, but this bookcase- which is functional once assembled but prone to breakage if moved-is made of the very stuff we have so diligently tried to avoid in our office spaces. The directions are troublesome as well-mostly pictorial with few written directions. 

Some descriptions of these knds of units are incomplete and misleading and this one surely was, as 'engineered wood' is not usually snonomous with formica pressboard. If we ever move our offices I already know the diclaimer the movers will make. Pressboard bows and chips over time. My cuationar note here s simply that this type of unit is really not money well spent. I wish I could be more upbeat. Also, pressboard does generally contain formaldehyde which is not a healthy substance and is best served for preserving donated bodies in medical achool cadaver labs. Even in that setting it is still a toxic substance.
