Bamboo Media Shelf (Vietnam)

I would recommend this shelf to anyone. I bought 2 of them, and am well pleased with both. Assembly is easy.

I have been looking for a book case for what I call my "beach room". Was so excited to find this at such a reasonable price. It arrived promptly and my husband had it put together before I even got home. He said it was easy to put together but he was happy he had a metric size allen wrench with a long T handle. Whatever that means, he said it would have been more difficult with the wrench that came with it.

• Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. It is sturdy, not flimsy. That being said I don't think it would be wise to put a televison on it.
• How accurate was the sizing? Right on the money.

I bought this Shelf to hold all of my television equipment in as small a space as possible. It does the job. I found that putting it to together was a challenge. Not all of the holes lined up. I worked on it over a few days until everything was tightened by hand. I use the bottom shelf for larger books and am quite happy with my purchase. It is easy to move. I love bamboo products.

• Please tell us about the quality of the product. The bamboo is thick enough to hole some weight

This "media center", or book shelf, as I use it, is pretty much exactly what you'd expect for the price. It's not the sort of thing you want to display in a house full of expensive couches, wide-screen TVs, Monet paintings, caged tigers etc. But for a residence that wants to feel simple and down to earth, it works quite well. Granted, the white plastic ties along the edge make it feel a little less "natural", but they aren't that noticeable anyway. The one complaint I have with it is that it was difficult to put together. The holes in the sides don't match up with the pegs. If you have a ready supply of brute force and colorful language, it comes together quite nicely in the end. I'd buy another, probably, because I like bamboo as a sustainable resource, and because I like my residence to feel "not quite urban-chic". I disagree with the term "exotic" though.
