  • Plywood: Particle board or plywood uses hardwood chunks in combination with adhesive in order to come up with a flexible, strong, building material. There is plywood furniture which features a laminate coating in order to increase durability and prevent stains. The laminate looks like natural hardwood finish.
  • Recycled Wood Fiber: This tends to be similar to plywood and it is formed from a combination of a chunk of wood that is recycled together with other papers which end up forming a building material which is very strong. It is combined also with laminate to make the material to be more durable and to provide an attractive, smooth surface.

The backing option for single storage units is found in various options. Plywood or pegboard backing tends to be the most standard one. Flannel, dry erase, or chalkboard backing is normally available to offer additional charge and it allows you to be able to use the back side as an easel.

If most of the time you keep on rearranging the classroom or moving storage units around in your school, then it is best you choose one with casters.
