This shelving unit was built with formaldehyde-free PureBond plywood from Columbia Forest Products.

Hardwood plywood is a common building material and a major source of formaldehyde exposure in homes and buildings. Conventional plywood contains urea-formaldehyde, which emits gases into the air, but the eco-friendly formaldehyde-free plywood eliminates these toxic gases.

Areas with toxin-free wood are cleaner and risk of airborne illness is greatly reduced, making it particularly beneficial for homes with children. Even if you don't have kids, it'll be a benefit to you and a huge selling point for families if you decide to sell your house someday.
