Northwest. They are of the same species. Pine is one
of the most renewable and sustainable wood sources in the
U.S. All vertical surfaces are made of Solid Hemlock as it
has little to no knots (This includes all frames, cross
rails, drawer fronts and doors. Horizontal surfaces are made
of Solid Pine (This includes all shelves) Solid Maple is used in our drawer boxes.

I've never heard of Lundia. What is
your background/history?
Answer: Lundia is a
"Worldwide" brand. The Lundia system was originally created
in Europe in the 1940's by Harald Lindqvist. In 1957, Lundia
was introduced to the United States. Over the next half
century, Lundia in the U.S. was primarily a commercial
product made for Retail Stores, Offices and other Commercial
Applications. Solid Wood Lundia systems can be found in over
10,000 commercial locations throughout America. There is
even a used market for Lundia product. Type in "Lundia" on
eBay and you will find used Lundia for sale. In the past few
years we have introduced our Lundia Products to consumers
for Closet Organizers, Bookcases, Pantry, Home Office and
Storage Solutions. Look for more new Lundia products to be
introduced!
Answer: We offer a
nearly limitless size offering. We show our standard closet
sizes on this website that are 15"deep x 84"high. We also
offer 9"deep, 12"deep, 18"deep and 24"deep units. In
addition, we also offer 36"high, 48"high, 60"high, 72"high,
96"high, 108"high, 120"high and even 144"high units. If that
wasn't enough size options for you, we also offer any custom
width or custom height. You can find all our other size
options at our main site:
www.LundiaUSA.com . If you are looking for custom

Standard Time.
Can you make custom sizes?
Answer: Yes, with
restrictions. You can get custom widths ONLY. We cannot make
custom heights or depths. Important to note on custom
widths: We can ONLY make custom widths for frames with
shelving. We cannot make custom width drawers or metal hang
bars. Custom widths are available only in 1" increments off
our standard widths. There is a $395 set up fee and pricing
is based on the next size up (Example: a custom 34"w starter
frame would use 36"wide unit costs and measure 35 1/4" if a
Starter Frame and 34" if an Add On Frame with Std. open
uprights).
How much weight can your system hold?
Answer:
Most off our closet shelving has been tested to hold well
over 500lbs. Unlike a particle board shelf which can easily
be broken it's nearly impossible to break our solid wood
shelves. The image on the right is an actual photo taken in
the 1950's demonstrating just how incredibly strong Lundia
Solid Wood is!

knots. Only horizontal surfaces will have knots.

How long will it take to get my order?
Answer: We stock our
raw material, but all orders are manufactured after receipt.
We have so many choices it would be impossible to stock
everything.
Your Lundia system will be handcrafted in our factory after
your order is placed. Our manufacturing time is improving. Current production time
is now 8 to 10 weeks. This does not include shipping transit times from our facility
in Southern California. Your final invoice with tracking
information will be emailed once your order is shipped.
Can I get additional parts or
components at a later time?
Answer: Yes! In fact,
most of our Lundia Products made over 50 years ago will
still interchange with our Lundia made today!
Is this the same as Lundia that I
bought in Europe?
Answer: Although
Lundia made in the U.S. looks identical to Lundia made in
Europe, our products are not compatible or interchangeable.
Lundia made in the U.S. is sized in "Inches". Lundia made in
Europe is sized in "Metric".
