I can only rate this as average for now because I have yet to get this put together. I attempted to put it together myself (I normally do) but there was so many screws and pieces that are needed to put this together that I couldn’t stay focus to even try to begin. I do believe it will be just what I wanted and I’ll be happy but I got to get it put together first.

Wasn't easy but happy in the end

This shelf looks really good and fits perfectly for what I wanted but the instructions were awful. I kept using the wrong screws for the wrong steps because they look so similar and weren't labeled in the bag they came in. The drawer fronts are also not the best. The don't have a tight fit like it should so I might have to do something else to have a tight fit. Overall I am happy with my purchase.

Assembly is a complete headache!

The bookcase is like the picture. Not bad. However, the assembly took for ever, instructions were extremely hard to follow, often took times it took 2 or more people to hold separate pieces together cause it was necessary.. etc.,..... if that doesn't bother you, you will probably like it. If you easily get frustrated, like me, when instructions are not clear and you have to guess, you may not like it.

Modern Bookshelf.

Manufacturing is time consuming and hard for a person like me who barely knows about carpentry and hardware. Parts are very poorly labelled and hard to read. holes are poorly done and some were missing. The most dificult part to asemble is drawer cabinet and drawers, very small pieces and due to poorly mentioned holes if nails not properly in there it would probably be hard to insert drawers. Apparantly sturdy and good looking book shelf. Comes in properly packaging and all items were there. What if they prepare cabinet and drawers before shipping.

A great bookcase

This bookcase came out great. It is a project to put together, it took me about 2 hours. You will need a drill, screwdriver, etc... The doors slide smoothly and the shelf feels very sturdy. It came out so well I am considering purchasing another for the office to pair next to each other.

Instructions

The instructions are very poor. Specially on how to install the rails for the drawers. I had the correct amount of hardware but it was poorly packaged. No information as to what to glue and what not to glue. The only thing that is solid wood are the outside rails. All the rest is pressed wood.

Definitely worth the price.

Good quality for the price. Fit and finish was very good. Other reviewers have commented about the number of parts and time it takes to assemble. I have to agree with them. This was not difficult to do but it did take a while. The instructions are not the best since they are nothing but pictures but easy enough to follow. A couple of things to note: I assume the glue is for the dowel connections (the instructions don't show you using it) and the hardware is not labeled but it's easy enough to figure out based on the size (there's a "ruler" in the instructions) and the count you need for assembly. Overall, we are very happy with this unit.

Heavy and Brittle

Looks nice but it's very heavy pressed wood which chips and crumbles so easily... as pressed wood does. I'm sorry I bought it and just don't want to go through the trouble and expense of returning.

Awful. Hundreds of parts, took hours to put together, but...

Awful. Hundreds of parts, took hours to put together, but the worst part wasn't even the assembly; the quality is terrible. Essentially all cardboard. Unless you're fine with cheap-looking and feeling furniture. don't buy this.

I was expecting good quality judging from the price of this shelf, but unfortunately the shelf is very cheaply made. I gave up the choice of *** shelves for this one, but as I put it together, I learned how great *** furniture is quality wise compared with this one. If this was not for the hassle of returning this piece of furniture that took over 2 hours to put it together, I would have returned it. My daughters room has some furniture from *** in her newly renovated room and this one just looks good in the picture, do not come close to it because you will see how cheaply made it is. The drawers are not gliding smoothly. I would not recommend it. Going back to *** next time.
