Question
I want to add to an existing wall unit but cannot find the backing material used on the wall unit.  It's a dark oak finish about an 1/8 inch thick.  I need several pieces but don't know where to get them. Where can I find them?  Home Depot and Lowes carry nothing even close.  I live in Baltimore, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Your best bet would be to try a furniture store. Here at my store(boston, MA) I have many back panels. If someone needed one, I could probably order something and have it cut to specifics.

I'm sure that they could probably get you a dark oak panel. If they can't, someone at a furniture store may know someone who can.

Good luck!
