I bought four of these bookshelves and am pleased. They look good, are well finished and substantial.Assembly instructions are diagrams only. Take care to out the mantel on right-side up. The top piece has four small pilot holes (not shown in instructions) on the underside. Care must be taken to tighten the screws gradually and in an alternating pattern to get proper fit. I over-torqued a couple of screws and split a shelf.The trickiest part is the first step, fitting the side rails together with dowels. A rubber mallet works well to join the pieces. I used carpenter's glue on the dowels before inserting them.Overall a good product for the price.

I like the bookcases, they are solid wood like stated. The problem was I was missing 4 screws to put them together and 4 wooden pegs that cover the screws. There was an 800 number to call if you were missing parts but the message said it could not connect to the number. I tried several times with the same results. I had to go to a local hardware store to purchase the screws and wood screw covers to finish assembly.

This bookshelf is not well made and leans to one side. The holes don't line up correctly so I am not able to tighten the screws more to correct the lean. Overall, I would not buy this product again.

This is sturdy shelf unit that was not too difficult to assemble. There were a couple of dings in the shelves that were not serious enough to pack the whole thing up and send it back, but were irritating to find and would have prevented me from purchasing it in a store. It's solid wood, which is a plus.

I bought this bookcase and it's great. I needed a large bookcase to hold all my endless books and this did the trick. It's not made out of cheap wood, but it's very sturdy and holds up nice. You will not be disappointed!

This was such a great purchase! The bookcase went together with ease (besides the one tool included with the shipment, I found my electric screwdriver helpful, too.) Also bought the short/smaller version of the bookcase. Both shelves look great, hold lots of books and are a great value. A few of the shelves were "rough" - not finished very well, but once I got the books on them, you couldn't see it. It was packed VERY well. Although the one side of the box was damaged and a hole was in the side, it didn't get to the wood at all - just the packing! Highly recommend these bookcases! Would buy more, if I had room!

It deffinitely takes 2 to put this together. It was sturdy and looks great. Lots of storage space.

This bookcase is solid wood, sterdy, and is quite attractive looking. I assembled it myself, with ease.

I love this piece, it didn't take long to put it together. It did have a nick on one of the wood shelves but other than that it is a beautiful looking bookcase.

Elegant bookcase can be displayed in office or elsewhere in the house. Excellent wood quality that would last forever. My only regret was I should have ordered mahogany instead of the natural finish. It didn't match my other office furniture.

The twins moved home to save money to purchase a house... I was losing the room I had decided was going to be my new crafty room. This book case holds all my books, some supplies and it looks good in our bedroom. Clean and simple, holds books, lots of them.

I love this piece of furniture. For me it fits a nook entrance to my hallway quite nicely, although it would look good on a flat wall. It really needs two people to assemble, one reason being it is quite heavy. A great price for the quality.

Easy to assemble, solid and well designed parts. I would be a second but they've run out of the cherry finish.

This bookshelf really is solid wood, and was perfect for my needs (kids in college took my old, veneer bookcase). Thanks O

This is a great looking bookcase for the price - we love it. I just went to buy another one in the Cherry finish and was disappointed to see they were out of stock - I'm hoping they get more in soon. My husband put it together very easily in no time at all.

This is a nice, sturdy bookcase. Assembly is a bit of a pain though (or maybe it's my lack of patience). Go slow and careful with the assembly and you should have an easier experience than I have! :)

Rating

Good value, decent quality. Would recommend two people to assemble - I did it myself, but it took much longer than if I had help. The bookshelf looks very nice. Would purchase again and have recommended to friends.

Thanks again for quality, durability, and looks. I liked the first one so well; I ordered a second one.

I really loved this product, the bookcase was much more than what I expected. I've purchased "self assemble" furniture from other companies and I found them to be sub-par in quality, workmanship, and ease of assembly. The shelves are very solid and strong, as are the side panels, which surpised me by coming in one piece. The material used was nicely finished and once completed assembled, very sturdy, by this I mean it did not "wobble" from side to side. The finished color of the bookcase is darker than showned in the photo, which I pleased with, however, if someone is looking for the exact color shown, they might be disappointed. Although not supplied, I would suggest using white glue for the dowel plug holes, if a person is assembling the product by themselves. You may not need this if more than one person is helping This product was easily worth twice what I paid and I would gladly purchsed other products by this company.

I found this bookcase to be very nice in appearance and fairly easy to put together. The instructions were easy to follow, which is important! I am considering the purchase of a second bookshelf now that I have seen how nice it is.
