I have 19 Ivar units, with about 4 - 6 shelves each that have lasted for years (15 in a prior location, 6 here). They are in good shape, show no sign of bowing / slumping. They are made from recycled wood that has been glued to make the uprights and shelves. If you are willing to "toss the pile" you can find shelves that are free of major knots and will look nice.

My workbench is a drop leaf table (only drops on one end h that was designed for a kitchen table. Solid as a rock and solid pine.

My only regret is not buying more of the wide drawers that were available in the early 2000'. It's hard to find ones that fit exactly in the Ivar units.
