I was looking for a bookcase that would not be clunky but could be placed horizontally and hold TONS of books in an interesting way. (I'm an English professor and avid reader, but I wanted my book display to have more of an aesthetic appeal.) This piece is perfect! It's sturdy and spacious. The various sized shelf areas are perfect for housing a variety of books - from large textbooks and reference pieces to small paperback novels. The shelving pieces are interesting but have a bit of symmetry, so once filled it doesn't look cluttered and jumbled. I like this piece for its ability to easily be used vertically or horizontally depending on the room it is in. (Right now I have it on an office wall with a collection of travel art above it which looks funky and interesting.) My only complaint is that two of the stickers (a number and China's quality inspection) were difficult to take off the exterior side of one of the pieces; I was unable to remove some of the adhesive, so I placed that side of the bookcase toward the corner. I'm definitely pleased with my purchase overall, and my more traditional boyfriend was also pleasantly surprised with how well it came together.
The product is of thick wood-product. It's not particle board but it's not oak, either. It is softer than regular wood, though, so be aware. The boards are thick enough that you can have 2 rows of books on 1 shelf; if you use it as a divider, you could have one side for one row of books, and the other side for another row. It's really great that way. Also, it comes with wall anchors and acrews to put into the wall. You choose where to input the screw on the unti, though, so be aware of where you put it. I really like this product (I brought 2) and it looks amazing. Though it was tough to put together by myself (moderately strong female), I was able to do so. Have a little patience, know that it'll take about an hour by yourself, and use the wood glue! I had a little trouble, in that one of my boards was damaged, and the replacement they sent was missing an insert. After about 10days, I finally got everything I needed. Be sure to look things over carefully and call right away if there is a problem - these babies sold like Hot Cakes, and they didn't have any replacement parts for me after my initial call. (thank goodness all I needed was the insert.)
It arrived when it was expected. Everything was neatly stacked in the box. Nothing was missing. It took about an hour and 30 minutes to lay everything out and to assemble the bookcase. The stickers that labeled each piece were easily removed. It will look great in any room. Can do so many creative things with this bookcase.
was very excited when the shelf arrived fairly quickly and the box wasn't that heavy. The box was a little damaged but it didn't damage the shelf. I was able to build it in one hour I am very pleased on how nice it looks and it is a beautiful shade of wood, It's sturdy enough to hold my book collections. I love it!
This is an excellent bookcase, display case, very sturdy, nice design. Easy to assemble but does require a couple screwdrivers and some elbow grease.
This is a great bookcase. It is sturdy and solid but has an open feel. It was easy to assemble. The shelves lock together nicely and the entire piece does not shift or lean. The finish is very nice.
I looked at this bookshelf for nearly a year before purchasing it. I wanted a shelf I could use vertically, this one looks fantastic! I'm extremely pleased with the quality and look of this piece. It adds dimension and an air of creativity to my living space. It took two people about an hour to put together. The directions, although merely pictures, were very easy to follow. All of my friends LOVE it. Order quickly before they buy them out of stock!
Disappointed in this piece after it got such high ratings from other reviewers. Our expectations weren't super high, since it is highly affordable, do-it-yourself furniture, but it ended up being so unstable that we hesitate to put a pottery collection on it--which is the reason we bought the thing in the first place. It sways side to side without much pressure, and stands slightly skewed to the right. We even went out and got brackets at the hardware store and installed them on the back, to try to straighten and stabilize it, but it's still uneven. I wouldn't trust it if I had a child 6 years old or under in the house. The assembly instructions, with only pictures, lacked information that would help the consumer get the details right. The bolt things that attach all the boards together are sorta tricky. It would be easier if it were just screws and a phillips screwdriver. Even the covers for the bolt holes are cheap: in similar furniture, I've seen wood plugs provided; with this bookcase, it's paper "stickies" colored to look like the wood. The color and appearance--its asymmetry--are the only things we like about it. We would have returned it, except you have to get it all put together to discover its fatal flaws, and at that point it's such a hassle to dis-assemble it and ship it back that we're going to live with it until we find a sturdier piece with a similar configuration. Unless you absolutely can't afford to pay more, keep looking for something better.
This shelf is just beatiful. I like it more than I did in the picture. I have a small living room and was replacing a sofa table. I had family over the same day we put it together and they looked around and told me somehow the room was looking bigger. I have it on its side and it does give the room a more streamlined clean look and the it is definitely a conversation piece.
I purchased two of these bookcases in white. The directions are all in picture format so it was difficult for me to put together. Luckily I have more spatially inclined friends. We put two of them together in about 2.5 hours, the second one definitely went faster. I love the look of these as they look more expensive than they really cost. I'd definitely purchase again!
