Staples® Hayden™ Oak Finish Bookcase, 5-Shelf, 72"

Comments about Staples® Hayden™ Oak Finish Bookcase, 5-Shelf, 72":

I purchased two of these bookcases three years ago, and since then have moved twice. Now I'm looking to buy one and possibly two more. The bookcases are heavy to move and require two strong people, especially going up and down stairs. However, this heavy sturdiness means they have held up very well to pounds of books. I review books for a living, so my shelves literally overflow -- these bookshelves can take a lot of weight -- and they look nice, too. I purchased the oak the first time, and the finish and appearance have also held up very well. Very pleased with this purchase. Everyday price is good, but when you buy them on sale, they're a DEAL.

While it may look nice from the outside, this shelf is not made to support weight. After putting it together I was positioning it against the wall, and the middle support shelf completely broke off nearly destroying the backing in the process. Furthermore, with a set of records on it, the shelves are bowing with the weight. This is not a good product. That's not to mention that the edges of the fake wood covering are cut so roughly that it could cut someone and the holes in the support shelves were not completely drilled through (I had to finish the job myself). It may be cheap, but you get a barely functional shelf in the process. Save yourself the hassle and buy something made of solid wood, or at least constructed better than these.

I purchased these shelves for a home office area. They are easy to put together and stable once up. They have a cardboard backing and the finish is OK but definately fakey. They work well for my purpose, and the price was unbeatable. I was able to place my books on them along with baskets of office supplies without any sagging or bowing.

I am very pleased with these shelves. I have a lot of school books & a small living space so they are perfect to meet my needs. They were not expensive and easy to put together. I plan to buy another one for my kids and their books.

This is your standard bookcase that all the office supply stores,[...] have. However, my experience with Staples' Situation brand has been excellent in terms of quality and durability. This is one of the main reasons I got this bookcase [...]. Add the fact that the price is less and you can't beat the quality, value and price. Highly Recommended. I bought 2.
