bookshelf
clerestory  from boston,  Oct 4, 2009
For the money, it's a pretty good deal. But the back is very cheesy and cardboard like, so it's good if the books cover it. IT's a very plain design, which is fine, and wasn't too hard or too easy to assemble.

Not bad, but not great
tastelikebananas  from palm bay, FL,  Sep 15, 2009
i like the maple color and the shelves went together easily. The worse thing about them is the paper backing that gets tacked onto the back. It is a 3-way folded piece that shows the seams. Unsightly, but hopefully hiden with books and things on the shelves. Also something they never tell you: 4 of the 6 shelves have strict weight limits (i think 30#s) since they rest on 4 plastic pins. Two of the shelves allow 50 pound limits since they are "structural" shelves. No bracket is supplie for securing the top to prevent tipping. I had to make my own

good bookcase
pokeymom1  from San Diego, CA,  Sep 5, 2009
Tall, versatile bookshelf with a classy look. Movable shelves make it easy to fit various height items and books.

This is a fair (but not exceptional) value for the price. Assembly was easy and took about 1/2 hour. The bookshelf arrived with one small damaged area, but I didn't feel like going through the hassle of returning it, and it doesn't show too badly where I placed it. The shelf looks fine from a distance -- up close it is easy to tell it is composite wood and the workmanship is only fair.If you need a truly high quality, genuine wood bookcase, this is not for you. If you are on a budget, are looking for something that holds books and doesn't look bad from across the room, this may be just the thing. I'm a school principal and it looks OK in my office, but is clearly of lower quality than the other furniture in the room.

sallir  from colorado,  Feb 12, 2009
This is the second one I've bought, and they are great! I like the height of the shelves, (store large books), and easy to assemble.

Bookcase
tspts  from Iowa,  Jan 2, 2009
The package was missing some parts so that one shelf is not usable. The wood had small dents and some of the vineer was scraped off. It is not real sturdy. It's not worth returning though.

Not a Best Buy
mtnbookworm  from Colorado,  Dec 3, 2008
This bookcase looks fine when together, and should be okay, but as most chipboard furniture, it isn't too sturdy. Also of concern to me is the use of small plastic shelf holders which I worry may not be adequate to support the full load of heavy books that I have. Since I bought this bookcase, I have seen a similar ( but only 5 shelf) unit at an office supply store for MUCH less money.

Great Value!
ck77  from sunshine state,  Oct 4, 2008
I was looking for a tall bookcase to fit into a specific space in my office for a reasonable price and this one fit the bill perfectly. It is very well-made and looks much more expensive than it was. It was very easy to assemble as well. I believe this item was a great value for the price!

6 shelf bookcase
captain14  from New England,  May 14, 2008
I got the maple and it's really nice. The piece comes in two boxes and beware: the pieces in Box 1 are not necessarily for the lower unit pictured on Box 1. Once the other box arrived, I had to take it apart and start over and it wasn't easy. The little plastic dowels are remarkably strong and unorgiving. It's particleboard and not particularly strong, but once it's together and full of books, it looks great. A terrific value.

My husband said this bookcase was not sturdy (he's actually built bookcases before) but it is sturdier than it looks. I filled 5 of the 6 shelves and it doesn't look like the shelves will ever bow or anything. It looks great and it's a good price. I would recommend it!

wheatzel1972  from bergen county new jersey,  Dec 5, 2007
this product is wonderful.. i live in a rented small space so i knew it was not going to be an investment piece. if your looking for low price no frills good looking bookshelf this is ideal..i read previous reviews before buying this product and was warned it is not the sturdiest of pieces and i took extra care when assembling it.

Oak Vaneer Bookcase
ronwa  from Greene County, NY,  Oct 25, 2007
I'm not entirely happy with this purchase. The whole unit is made with pressed wood and the veneer is printed paper stuck onto the pressed wood panels and shelves. It has no feet, so the open edges of the pressed wood sits directly on the floor, these edges will deteriorate over time. Finally when originally shipped only half of the needed hardware was in the shipment. I had to call to request the 2nd bag of hardware and wait a week for its arrival.

Once put together this is beautiful.Its not easy due to size and no marking on the pieces.I have this in my bedroom catty-cornered and it looks like a million bucks!! If I didn't already have 3 other bookcases in my room I would get the matching pieces!

Bush is Better
ty972  from New York, NY,  Apr 1, 2007
This bookcase looks great once completed. The workmanship however is not good. I had to be very gentle with the pieces during assembly as the press board is very cheap. Im even afraid to move it. If you've ever had Bush furniture that is the one to go with.

This shelf looks cheap, but it is, so I was not expecting much. I bought it in Oak, and the color looks very old fashioned and something my grandparents would have in their house. It took over 5 hours to put it together for 2 people, and some of the main pieces were either cracked or did not come together right - I did not return it simply to avoid the hassle. If you want a cheap shelf for a couple of years, this will do - if you want a quality piece, keep looking.

apperance can foolish
Quack  from Paramus, NJ,  Nov 1, 2006
It takes hours to assemble the book case. Once assembled, the product is not stable at all. Apperance may be good, but I could have spent the money wisely.

Nice looking bookshelf
jemmsg1  from Houston, TX,  Sep 18, 2006
This book shelf is actually 2 separate bookshelves that eventually make 1 large wall unit. It is 6 feet tall, so it definitely required 2 people to assemble and additional mechanisms to ensure it's placement since it stands so tall. It is quite nice looking and a great addition to my living space.
