I insensibly purchased several of these units for my craft room. Now I'm stuck. The shelves cannot support a full load of much of anything -- bowing in the middle. The brackets supporting them are small plastic plugs with only a small surface area in contact with the shelf. I expect to hear a loud crash, one day, when one of those shelves collapses. In the meantime, I'm trying to sort out a way of rigging additional support -- not the kind of chore I was expecting to have to undertake given the cost of these units.

I was extremely surprised to see the poor quality of this product. No wood in the construction, only press board and it was chipped and scratched when I received it. I cannot recommend this for use in anyones home. Very poor quality.

The bookcase is a nice size to fit under a window. It is a slightly more orangey color than I would have liked and the veneer on the chipboard is very thin so there were some dings and chips but none serious enough to worry about, especially as I got it for a 4-year old's room. However, once assembled it feels sturdy and you can get a lot in it.

This is the second time that I purchased the Sonoma bookshelves. I love them. They are easy to put together.Sturdy.Nice looking.

It showed up with no installation instructions!

I really like this bookcase for it's size and versitility.

The Sonoma bookshelf was what I expected, functional but not particularly great. The top was damaged one corner and there was a 3 1/2" scratch on the surface, which looked to be caused by a knife or box-cutter, that was annoying. Overall, I am keeping the piece because it is functional, but rather than seeming like a new piece due to the wear & tear of shipping, it looks like I've had it a while.

I love my book cases and plan on buying more in the future. They were super easy to assemble and I had them put together in no time.

This shelf unit went together easily with easy instructions. It is heavier and stronger than I expected and looks beautiful. I was very pleased.

Great for a child's playroom. Definitely worth the price. Easy to assemble.

Bookcase arrived in good condition. I had a friend put it together for me. It's sturdy enough & fairly heavy.

I liked the bookcase. The price is excellent. The only problem is that the top shelf will not hold the binders we intended for it because of the horizontal cross member at the top. The bottom shelf accepts the binders just fine. There is no cross piece restricting that space. We will have to put something other than 12" tall binders on the top shelf, however. We could have avoided our disappointment had you disclosed the actual vertical and horizontal openings of each shelf.

The bookcase was what I expected and looks pretty decent. I think it's a bit pricey, given its construction from MDF and the flimsy back (that others have mentioned). It went together easily in about 20 minutes, and the only thing needing any sort of skill was nailing on the back.

I received my order in three days even though I used regular shipping. I was please at the ease of assembly. I would order this product again.

The shelf is absolutely beautiful. We bought it for our daughters room for storing books. It is much nicer and sturdier than I thought it would be at that price. It really does look like a nice piece of furniture (we bought the maple one). Great value especially compared to others that we looked at.
