Searched high and low for this quality of bookcase
This is a great bookcase. I looked at all the popular retail furniture sites, and everything in the under $300 price range had reviews that made it obvious the shelves couldn't actually support books (as opposed to trinkets and such.) This bookcase is actually designed to support hardbound books, and unlike virtually all the other ones I came across, the back is not mad...

Not actually for books
This is really for picture frames and knickknacks. The shelves can’t hold the weight when filled with books or papers. Very disappointing. It’s a bad design with not enough support for the shelves.

Easy Assemble
We love our very sturdy new bookcase. We are using it to store things (not as a bookcase). It was surprisingly easy to assemble. All parts were included (nothing missing), the predrilled holes matched up, anchors screwed into boards easily and the picture instructions were pretty good. Even the few things we did wrong the first time were easy to disassemble and corre...

Excellent bookcase!
This is a sturdy bookcase. Liked that the bottom shelves are deeper than the upper shelves. A little challenging to assemble but totally worth it!

Stable, Solid and Good Looking
A little challenging to construct until we realized always put the screw things in the 'plastic/rubber' holes before putting in the silver-metal cams ....finished build is a solid, really solid, bookcase that can handle a ton of books of varied sizes. Using bottom shelf to hold massive reference and art books. In addition to 2 built-in shelves, the 3 movable shelves a...

My new favorite bookshelf
Very functional design. Sturdy and attractive. The 2 tier width is practical, provides multiple use and aesthetics. Have used these in 2 different rooms and each time they open up the room and provide ample and creative storage space. Look great putting 2 side by side. Easy to keep clean. Good quality. Wish they made these with doors too as another option.

Nice Bookcase
I purchased 7 of these bookcases. Still waiting on one to arrive. Easy to put together. Looks great! I love all the space for books. Nice upgrade for our community library.

Incredibly solid, great bookcase for any room!
This is an extremely solid and well built bookcase and I would highly recommend for any room. The entire price is made of solid wood and is very sturdy. We put this in my office and it looks great holding all of my files, books and picture. Highly recommend!

Extra room
I like the bookcase style because it is staggered. It`s also heavy duty I have kids books on it. Putting it together at first went smoothly until the middle section. I hit a snag called my neighbor he fixed it immediately I just didn`t read the instructions completely. I like the design a lot. Thinking of getting another to flack fireplace.

very nice bookcase
This is a very sturdy and attractive bookcase for any room. Great for anytime of decor you like using for books or toys or any pretty decorations you like. Very easy to put together I would suggest two people because it is heavy which is great but easier for two people. very happy with product and that I got to test this product for free.

Great bookshelf
This bookshelf is great! You can put a small tv on it as well as books, games, puzzles,etc. The quality is much better than I expected from a shelf that you have to put together. It took us about 20 minutes to assemble and would look great in any room in the house.

Stylish & Functional!
I am very happy with the end product but it was a small feat getting it put together. The box is very heavy and took two of us to get it into the house. The instructions were helpful when trying to assemble but it took a while for us to get it done. Overall it is a beautiful looking book shelf and looks great in my office. The product is sturdy and well made. Even given...

Nice looking bookcase!
I have this bookcase in my dining room. The assembly was fairly easy, although a bit tedious as you could expect. Very heavy box. The bookshelf is made from I believe particle board. The quality is decent. It looks nice with decorative accents and dresses it up a bit. It probably won`t `last forever` because of the material it`s made of, but it`s a decent piece of furni...

Not the best quality for the price
The bookshelf is very beautiful. It didn't come with directions. I had to look them up online and print them out. While screwing in the screws for the shelves the while paint chipped off. This product should be cheaper because it is cheaply made.

Quality Bookcase
I am always hesitant to buy furniture that I have to assemble on my own, however I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised when I received this bookcase. First, the assembly was much easier than I anticipated, as the instructions are fairly straightforward and easy to follow. Second, I was amazed at just how solid and unyielding it is once assembled. Be prepared, this ...
