This bookcase was pretty simple to put together (~15 mins for a handyman watching TV simultaneously) and looks great. Excellent color - matches the picture very well. The wood has a nice, solid, "real" feel to it. And the unit itself is very sturdy when up against the wall. Things to note: At the top of the unit (where the two legs lean against the wall) you are supposed to attach two white nylon ribbons - the purpose is to attach one end to a leg, and then the other to the wall. This is a smart idea, but only necessary if you have small children who might pull/climb on the unit. When leaning against the all, particularly with the shelves full, the unit is solid and sturdy. The shelves get progressively "shallower" as you move up the unit - the shelf at the top is only about half as deep as the shelf at the bottom. Keep that in mind as you consider what will go on this. Putting books on the bottom (too deep) or top (too shallow) shelves won't look right - the bottom will have too much wood shown between the edge of the shelf and the books, and using the top shelf will result in books sticking out over the edge. So long as you have the ability to stock the shelves with a variety of items, I'm sure it will fit into your room just as well as it fits in mine...for reference, my shelves contain (starting at the bottom): 1. Wireless printer 2. Excess DVDs and travel keepsakes 3. Books 4. Books 5. Pictures
I bought these, because of the style I was looking for. When they came, they were a bit battered. Like they were tossed around. A bit of a furniture pen will fix the scratches, not enough to return them. However, one shelf, the lip was completely off, like it had been attached 3 inches off from where it was supposed to be. My father in law, actually took it apart, and wood glued it and set it with a clamp. A lot more work than I was looking for. Though the rest of the assembly was easy.Also, it says "Walnut" which would match the other pieces of furniture in my living room. These shelves look cherry next to the other pieces. They are a lot more red than the picture indicates.
I bought this piece to tidy up my room, and it served its purpose great collecting the few picture frames I have and the mail holder. The shelves increase in width as you go lower so the bottom shelf is actually pretty spacious. It took me a while to assemble it myself though, since I tried to do everything on my own (the manual says you need two people). Pros: nice looking, practical, light weight. Cons: it is divided into two main pieces that you put on top of each other, and the part where the two pieces connect is kind of obvious. Also, when you put it on the wall, the two arms can leave marks on your wall where the shelves lean. Overall a very good purchase, and I am happy with it.
pretty, but cheaply made. use for books and one shelf broke off and split the book already.
I actually enjoy some assembly projects, but when I opened up the package and saw the small container of glue, my heart sank. The shelf is poorly designed, and the instructions are incomplete and confusing, so assembly was a nightmare. The materials are poor quality - the shelves themselves are soft plywood covered in some material to make them look like walnut, and the so-called "phillips screws" got stripped within 30 seconds of trying to screw them in. A lot of the dowels and screws did not fit correctly. About four hours later I finally got the shelf assembled, and it's shaky though I tightened all the screws. I am not sure what we can put on the shelf without it falling over. I really do not recommend purchasing this. We bought two and I'm considering returning the second one.
Good quality shelf. Very easy to assemble. It gives a different character to the room. Getting one in black for another room.
I purchased the walnut ladder shelf and it arrived within 5 days in a single box. Installation was easy and took about 40minutes. I'm using this shelf to hold my media devices as well as books and other shelving materials. It leans up against my wall flush and is supported well by its 3 legs. Overall great buy!
Beautiful accent shelf perfect for my bedroom. Simple clean lines. Ive had it for over a year now an I have had no problems with it. It holds a fair amount of books and other decorative nick knacks and a framed poster on top. It probably would not do well with something heavy on top as the the side supports are actually two pieces that fit together. It meets my needs perfectly and I love it.
You get what you pay for, so I wasn't expecting the sort of quality furniture that's going to last me 10 years, but I was still a bit disappointed in this piece. I have a number of pieces of furniture that were made of composite wood that required putting the pieces together on your own. I call myself on IKEA-style assembly. Despite that, I could not get the top and bottom parts of the ladder to align properly. The top and bottom do not form a straight line, but rather lean at different angles. Regardless how much I try to align and tighten, the two pieces go back to leaning awkwardly. If it weren't for the weird angles, I wouldn't have a problem putting actual books on the bookshelf but as it is now, I just use it for picture frames, and small decorations. I don't trust it to hold anything with any weight.
The shelfs were very easy to assemble (1 person no problem) and sturdy
