Unique Wood Bookcase/ Display Cabinet

Rating

I had originally found a unique shelved bookcase at another retailer but it was $500 for about the quarter of the height. I am completely redecorating my home and I had a large library of books to store and was planning on buying 3 cases (so $1500 for 3 was out of my price range).My husband put them together with an electric screwdriver & we ran out of glue for the caps to cover the screws. But they really are display cabinets and I hate to even put only the books on them, though that was the original purposes. I wanted book cases, but without that stock look of every other bookcase in my house.I would highly recommend. Very sleek and interesting. Strong design element against light colored walls. Also, I purchased the Mocha Metal Lamps, with the square cut out to accentuate and repeat this element throughout the living/dining room areas.

I got the white version and it still has the wood grain look, not a foil finish like I was expecting. Very nice looking piece and very inexpensive compared to what else is out there. The only downside I can find are the plastic covers for the bolts, they stick out and are distracting to me, although I'm not sure others will notice them once there are items on the shelves. I'm using it horizontally so you can see the visible bolts covers on the outside of the short ends. If you were using it vertically you wouldn't see them very much at all. Assembly was tedious but not very difficult.

Looks great in a room, can be used a divder, all six sides are veiwable. Assembly not for a beginner, but the instructions were well diagrammed and it went right together as described. Does take two people, one could do it, but it willt ake longer. Only complant is the plastic pieces used to cover the screws.

I love this cabinet! It is solid and very heavy. It is veneer but not cheap. Everything came in perfect condition! There are a lot of pieces so it does take time to put together. I had no problems following the directions. I just took my time, put on a movie and double checked against the directions before put the screws in. Came out perfectly beautiful! Very heavy... 118lbs.

I am quite pleased with the media cabinet. It has a sleek, upscale look .The unit arrived within 3 days and was packed compactly and each piece was well protected. I'm not very good at assembly, but the instructions were quite clear and the pieces clearly marked, which made the enterprise much easier. I was able to assemble it within an hour.
