[Rewarded Review] G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. Large Etagere in Walnut

The Brooke Etagere is absolutely gorgeous. The heavy, dark brown iron spindles that spiral on the facing side contrast beautifully with the slightly distressed wood shelves stained in a medium walnut. The look is very warm and very chic. I love it. This is a large etagere with six shelves. It's slightly taller than 77 inches, 36 and a half inches wide, and 18 inches deep. The upper two shelves are a bit smaller at about 10 inches deep. There are two extra duty support braces that look like a large "X". One support brace attaches to the back of the bottom set of legs, and the other support brace attaches to the back of the top set of legs. Each brace is fastened with four "short" screws and a tool is included for convenience. After both sets of legs are secured to the "X" shaped brace, the main, middle shelf needs to be put in place. This main shelf is the base for the top shelves to fasten to for safety. Four "long" screws will attach underneath the shelf to the top of the bottom set of legs. *When positioning this main shelf, make sure the upper facing side is positioned so the the drilled holes for securing the upper shelf are toward the BACKSIDE. The upper set of legs will then attach to the main shelf and be very secure. The assembly is so simple, because it fixes easily even if you happen to attach a part backward. It only took twenty minutes to put everything together. The Brooke Etagere is simply stunning.

Chipping, misaligned holes, STRONG smell

I had basically the same experience as the previous reviewer. This piece could be beautiful, but the quality is poor. The bronzish colored paint on the metal has some drips and air bubbles. The wood has some chipping, and I agree that it seems as though it was stained right before packaging...the smell was very strong. I also had to really wipe down a couple of my boards. They seemed to still have some excess stain or wax splotches. Luckily after wiping them down, nothing had been affected. A few of the holes were misaligned so assembly is not as quick as it could be. My experience with Hayneedle was great, though. Good communication and fast shipping.

Absolutely love this furniture!

I am so pleased with this product. The quality and the versatility of the shelves were more than I expected. I truly enjoy showing this my bookcases off and recommending Safavieh to my friends. Thank you very much! Signed, extremely satisfied customer.

Great Bookcase!

Even better in person. Great quality. Looks exactly as pictured. Assembly is very easy. Actually saw this bookcase on another site for double the price. This is my favorite purchase to date. Love!

Nice shelf for the money.

Very surprised at the quality. Looks great and pretty solid.

Easy to assemble, looks great!

Love this bookshelf. It looks way more expensive than it was, seems quality, and was super easy to put together. Perfect to use as a TV stand as well!

Rather disappointing

While this unit was the most functional shelving we could find for our particular use, it was disappointing in several respects. It would have been easy to assemble, had all of the holes for been located in the right places. I had to relocate 2 of the receiving gromets by about 1-1/4 inches. The wood shelves are not very good with some chipping and cracking. The finish, such as it is, must have been applied very shortly before packing, as the smell was so strong it is still sitting in the garage to air out. I would have found the unit uacceptable if its intended use was in someplace other than the utility room.
