Since this product is made from pine, I’d dare say there is no particle board
present. (Most of those bookshelves from Wal-Mart are made of particle
board...Particle board is an awful material to build with--even MDF would be
preferred over particle board.. and MDF is basically sawdust and glue!)
So, you’re probably getting a pretty decent quality product with those
containers. I, for one, will not be buying them, simply because I’ve got a
really nice table saw in my garage to use for another of my hobbies. I’m
currently in the process of using my saw to make storage shelves in my own
LEGO room, and it’s building my skillset on the saw at the same time.
Yes, some will probably be sold by those who “must have it at any price”, but
if the quality of that furniture will be anything like the 3-sided play
table, it should hold up very well. For some reason, I think the furniture
is not shipped assembled, so assembly is required.

Yeah, the website says that the LEGO furniture is made from pine and MDF.
Also says that the item will come mostly unassembled - much easier to ship
that way I guess. Besides, being a construction toy company, I’d expect most
LEGO products to require assembly!

Bryan, you beat me to the funniest part of this whole thread. “Some assembly
required...!” Yeah, right.
Still wouldn’t buy it at those prices for kids. I’d get it for myself, and have
fun with it...if I had the bucks. But between getting new LEGO, and buying
bricks off of Bricklink--does that sound familiar?
Play Well and Prosper,
