Hate to say it but I believe you're right :-) There's some pretty nice
desk/hutch combos I've now found online at for $130 to $475, but still
nothing equal in capacity. Notice mine here has 24" deep shelves, not easy
to reach things but good for packing stuff away.
The boards are a mere half inch thick but the total volume is something like
5 and 1/3 cubic feet of wood, which is to say a 5.3' x 1' x 1' post.
Depends on the type of wood but I was thinking kiln-dried pine. Maybe 25
pounds per cubic foot? I don't really know, I only build things like sheds,
decks, carports, etc. and never weighed anything or used kiln-dried (indoor)
wood before. I do know the weight can vary a great deal though.
I'll check into what particle board would cost. But as I already know (only
two bookcases are hardwoods) the stuff can be awfully flimsy.
