Looks great but once assembled is very rickety. Set it up with books and it sways like a ship. :(
Went together in about 1/2 hour. I had to have my husband muscle one back brace because the pegs didn't align exactly with the predrilled holes, but some muscle and a little wiggling got it done. I like the stand a lot.
Paint is a flat black, I'll probably touch up with black gloss. It is wood, looks like plywood. The shelves are all solid wood, not compressed or particle board. It will support the weight of all my cookbooks without warping. Good solid piece at a lower end cost. Looks nice too. Easy to put together.
if you are planning on matching this with other walnut items get something else. this is sooo not the right color. does not match any of my walnut items. had to put this in the garage cause it doesn't match anything and I didn't want to mess with the hassle of returning it. the quality and look to it are not imprressive either. very cheap looking. get something else.
I like this bbokcase for my cookbooks just the right size. but the color is off said walnut. but really a red cherry. it will do.
Very pleased with the whole process . Great bookcases . I brought two as bedside tables and they work perfectly with lots of extra storeage for books plus I get to display nice objects making a really nice feature in the bedroom.
For what it is, this is good. It's functional, solid and well-made but don't expect a fine piece of furniture.. It's IKEA-level quality.
Made in Vietnam but with precision, better than made in China. They are great for the value and can't beat it. All the parts fit perfect - laser cut.
I bought this as a tv stand in my bedroom. I have all black furniture and the last thing I wanted was another black piece of furniture in the room. This bookcase was perfect given that the color matches but it's open enough to not seem overbearing. Paired with a couple of wicker baskets it really tied everything together and was the perfect height for my small bedroom tv.
I sold my five-bedroom, three bathroom house in August of 2012 and moved into a two-bedroom apartment. I had a lot of things to get rid of, and the first to go were my bookcases that were pretty flimsy when I bought them. I was determined to get real wood cases, but most of them were way too expensive for the number I needed. When I found the Montegos, I was pleased that they came in two sizes...five shelves and three shelves. They were pretty easy to put together and are sturdy and very attractive. Since buying two five-shelf units and one three-shelf unit, I have ordered another three-shelf unit and I don't think I'm done yet!
