Well aren't all the smart **** out today! Sometimes goods get sold for less than it cost to make them to shift stock, its not unheard of. Obviously unlikely but you'd think somebody could ask a simple question without getting grief.

These look a good price, are they shelves or storage cubes as I can't find them on-line?

Easy enough question to an owner of said pieces & easy enough to tell in all likelihood.
Cannot see the details of the boxes on the site therefore asked a salient question, ..where lies your problem SFJnet ? :man:

:{I'm certain for £4 they'll be solid oak

a big old oak tree used to go for £90 in the uk, our more valued species, ..of which there are over 600 oak varieties recognised worldwide, plus hybrids making for different values to different markets & therefore costs.
Home bargains stocks oak furniture, drawers with sub dividers etc, a woodworking factory will have offcuts which it may store & sell onward or utilise for more profit (sensible) instead of paying for waste streaming.
Therefore it is entirely possible that periodically a company may diversify for a bit more profit, it's likely a couple of jigs & some wood glue or simple dowel sticking to get the integrity required.
just because oak has a historical added cache within the uk it does not necessarily carry in other world markets especially where there are denser growing woods.
IF machines are set up for tooling then offcuts proliferate, (I used to work in cabinet making). ..all part of the standard manufacturing process.

If you can possibly imagine that you'd get these in solid oak for £4 then you must be the world's most optimistic bargain hunter.

Some good deals come through HB, don't simply assume, (plus there are many variants of oak species that don't have the same cache) ..& thy sell other items of solid oak don't they? whose to say this isn't just offcuts utilised?
