I hate to break the news to them about the wood content of these shelves, lol.
(I guess cardboard TECHNICALLY is wood).

@ai6yr no those are Ivan, they are solid wood, just cheap softwood
@kinsale42 @ai6yr compressed/glued wood-chippings turned into "planks" I'd think. Like MDF and etc.
@toots @kinsale42 We love ikea furniture, it's just amusing to see it called "wood" per se.
(Most of our furniture here is Ikea. Also, it swells, inflates, and molds when it gets wet)
@ai6yr @kinsale42 well the compressed wood fibre fused-together-again boards are technically wood, though; as it's based on wood fibres. - Some of the more flimsy shelves and etc are better to be moved assembled, because if you take them apart, disassemble them, they can be degraded, less stable, intact, once you try assembling them again.
@kinsale42 LOL I stand corrected
@ai6yr also there's quite a bit of ikea furniture that's actual wood but a lot of it (including Ivan) comes unfinished
@ai6yr these are IVAR which really are wood! They have been painted. https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/cat/ivar-system-11703/
