Bookcase
We had one bookcase that we purchased a few years ago and needed a second one and Staples had it. We are thrilled with it. I had it delivered and it was easy to put together. It looks great in our home office and now I have room to add more books.

Maple Cross Bookcase
Easy to put together with clear and simply instructions. Sturdy and comes with wall anchors if needed. Looks great! My only issue is that there are not continuous peg holes for shelves the entire length of the bookcase. I have several oversized photo albums scrapbooks that will only fit on a single shelf if I want to keep all four shelves.

Somerset shelves
The shelves look great and match the desk I previously owned ....the only thing I was unhappy with is when they where delivered I wasn't home and who delivered them left them standing up leaning against a small wood column at my house.... Lucky they didn't fall over Otherwise the shelves are great

Looks very classy!
I bought two to put one in each corner of the room. They match some of the rustic decor very nicely. There is plenty of shelf space and they are deep enough for books or just more decor. The went together easily and pretty quick. Very happy with this purchase!

Excellent Product
I have 4 of these units the credenza and the 60" desk with hutch. All have performed wonderfully. I use 2 of the shelving units as shelving and 2 I have removed the hutch from the desk with is in my kitchen area and replaced it with 2 of the shelving units minus the feet. I has given me a tremendous amount of additional display and storage in my kitchen.

Bush Somerset Bookcase - Good for price.
The bookshelf was easy to assemble. A good value for a low/mid range quality product.
