The MDF \u2014 when lacquered \u2014 takes on an almost leather-like quality with a slightly galvanized-looking sheen and the maple is wonderfully figured. Unlike birch (also an option) which is nearly grain-less, the maple has all sorts of fun artifacts including wavy grain and a few knots.<\/p>\n<p>I&#039;ve also been able to better standardize the selection to 11.5in, 14in and 18in deep shelves with 23in wide &quot;bays&quot;.
