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.
I love this shelf- it was exactly what I was looking for, for a small space of bare wall. The assembly was fairly easy. It's stable and looks great. I wish the shelves were a little bit deeper, but overall, I am really pleased with the purchase. Especially with consideration for the price. I see these at Crate & Barrel for over double what I paid, there is no aesthetic difference.
The ladder attaches in the middle with two, already glued in wood dowels. One side was drilled enough for the dowels to fit together however the other side was not. We had to drill the two holes out about 1/2" or more in order for the ladder to connect. Overall, decent enough for quick, inexpensive way to fill up a wall space.
It took awhile for me to assemble these shelves as I am a senior citizen and needed some extra help. They are a little tricky to put together if you do not ususally do this sort of thing. However, it did not take too long. Everything went into place with just a few tweeks here and there, but that is to be expected with anything that's assembled. I was pleased with the quality. They are a nice weight. I like the fact they are free-standing which I was not expecting. It will not damage the wall. I am very pleased with my purchase. They are excellent for the price.
attractive, multi-functional, very stylish piece at such a reasonable price point. Great value!!!! One in the bedroom as a quilt stand,one on jet tub side for towels bath products. Great little purchase.
Loved the ease of assembly, sturdiness, the true espresso colour and you may be interested to know that this leaning shelf does not stick out from the wall much at all-- no tripping!
