High-quality shelves are made from solid hardwoods, such as walnut, cherry, oak, hickory, maple or poplar. Less-expensive shelves are made from pine. Since the 1980s, cheap shelves have been made from medium-density fiberboard (MDF), which is a manufactured material, made from wood pulp and resin.

How do you make bookshelves on walls?
It depends partly on what the walls are made of. Books are very heavy, so shelves must be strong. I prefer to drill into the wall (preferably where studs are in a wallboard wall) and insert 3" long dowels to fit matching holes in the back of the shelves, then after inserting the shelves, fit one or two wood supports ( matching the shelves) onto the front of the shelves. I have built many bookshelves this way, my latest holding over 1,200 pounds of books on 5 shelves.
