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.

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 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.

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.

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.

received parts and instructions for a 29" bookcase (Wood parts for a 77" bookcase) after email to Prepak....received some more hardware, but no instructions...after phone call...instructions sent...but not to fit the wood parts I have, still with insufficient hardware....will call again today....(over 2 weeks since ordering the bookcase) and hopefully receive the necesary parts and correct instructions for putting this headache together

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

They look good, now that they are assembled. However, it was so difficult to assemble that I had to hire someone to do it. It took him 6 housrs to put 3- 6' bookshelves and 1-smaller one together. The value would have been greater, if I did not have to hire someone to put them together. I would have rather purchased a ready made product. But it you are good at assembly, I would recommend it.

The Book shelf was worth more then I paid for it by a long shot. Overstock has always gone out of the way to show the community That quality is some times more inporant then quantity. The shelf has improved the looks of my house. Thank You.

The bookshelves are beautiful. They were a "snap" to assemble, the wood is awesome, they are nice and sturdy, and they are more than worth the price.

Book case was easy to put together, although I had a little trouble getting the top piece square with the bottom piece. Once together, it looks great and stands very sturdlely on only a 12" by 30" base. One has to remember with a tall bookcase, once needs to put the weight on the bottom and not the top as then the bookcase will be too top heavy. Thanks Overstock.com for another great purchase.

Maybe I'm a little more handy than most of the other reviewers, but I felt that the bookcase was easy to put together. It is a little top-heavy, but the bookcase is after all over 6 ft tall. Some of the trim didn't line up exactly and some of the finish was scuffed during shipment. Not so bad that I had to return it though. It still looks good. It adequately serves my purpose at a price much lower than buying one from a name brand retail store.

This was simply the worst product I have ever bought. There were missing and broken parts causing the Bookcase to be in pieces in my house until the replacement parts could be shipped.

• Please tell us about the quality of the product. it's junk. It arrived in two boxes with two different sets of instructions. After putting together the first box according to instructions. I found the top of the one section was actuallly in the wrong box. Screws for the big box were in the small box. When assembling the smaller section, I discovered the instructions should not have been there. The second (Larger box) had the top in it that belonged in the smaller box and some of the screws used for the smaller section actually belonged in the larger box. Instructions in the larger box actually were for both boxes and the smaller box instructions shouldn't have been there. Consequentlly, I have two separate book cases. One of the tops sits loosely and will come off if trying to move it. The wood also chipped , bulged and split in three different areas.

I bought two and they were ruined when my toilet failed and flooded everything at floor level. But I bought another two, different shade.
