Wow, it looks like our costs for getting the better materials for our prototype were a large underestimation.

                Here’s what I've come up with.  You will need roughly 31' of 3/4" maple dowel.  You can either use 4' lengths or 6' lengths.

 

                3/4" maple dowel 4'        $ 4.89 EA

                3/4" maple dowel 6'        $ 7.89 EA

 

Now, as for the wider material.  You can either use Baltic Brich, which is a furniture grade or veneer core and/or particle core birch.  Unfortunately you cannot get any plywood in this thickness.  You can get pine lumber but once again, not as strong.  Here are the costs;

 

                5x5x 1/4" baltic birch      $ 23.75

                5x5x 1/2" baltic birch      $ 31.75

 

                4x8x3/4" Birch Particle core         $ 38.25

                4x8x3/4" Birch Veneer core         $ 56.75

 

If you require anything else, feel free to get in touch with me.

 

Thanks

Project Details:        Furniture similar to Ikea in that it can easily be
assembled without the use of tools but that can be assembled in multiple
configurations multiple times.
Materials List:         4 18x18x1.5inches
22 1.5x1.5x15 inch
12 9.5x3/4 dowels
32 5.5x3/4 dowles
54 1.5x3/4 dowels
Comments:       This is for an estimate for a school report. The exact
material is variable. We have been prototyping with pine but understand that
isn't the best option for mass production. We are looking for a ball park
number of this sort of material that we can include in a report. Thank you.
