In general happy with this product. Had someone put together for me & he did have some issues with back panel fitting properly. Got two of them & they butt together relatively well. Overall think this product was a good value & as usual HD was easy to deal with.
LOVE MY NEW BOOK CASE
I love this bookcase, looks just like in the picture. I was a bit worried espresso would not match my cherry Shaker style 6 drawer dresser which I bought at the same time. They stayed in their heavy boxes for weeks until my 3 handymen assembled them. I left them alone, there was a lot of banging, a couple of hours later they were finished. I'm so happy they are a great match, and are exactly what I hoped for. When I go into that room, I can smell the wood. My hobby room looks fantastic, and so tidy now. They match my Shaker style 5 drawer cherry dresser, I bought 2 1/2 years ago.
The bolts don't fit in exactly, causing my book shelf to be tilted and offset just a bit. The instructions were fairly clear and I was able to assemble in about 30 minutes. One shelf came with a split on the edge, but sometimes that can't be helped when coming all the way from Vietnam. Considering I got free shipping, I think the price was fair, but I'm not inclined to buy from Houzz again. I'd rather be able to inspect the piece I'm buying and have already assembled. In this case, local would have been better.
Bookcase of Average Quality
Illustrations for manual should have been drawn with more detail. Wooden parts not labeled. Backing is poor quality laminate, which easily warps leaving gaps. Not all holes drilled, either. Extra holes in some shelves.
It's not at all what I was expecting. I don't know what I was expecting, but I don't know if I would buy this again. I was looking for a quality bookcase for a reasonable price. It's not bad, but it doesn't seem super stable, and there are limited adjustments available. Only the bottom shelf can really fit hardcover books, so I was only able to fit about 15 average hardcover books :-(
FANTASTIC Bookcase!
This is an outstanding bookcase. I was looking for shelves for my home office and this is perfect. The box arrived in good condition and the parts were well packaged. It is solid wood and I thought it was so lovely that I changed my mind and decided not to paint it. I applied Danish oil to all parts (except backing) before I assembled the bookcase. As noted in the description, all parts are SOLID WOOD (except the backing which is very thin plywood). The assembly was relatively easy - I am a senior female and I was able to do it alone with the supplied allen wrench and a phillips screwdriver. I did NOT use the wall attachments - I will have books on the bottom shelf which will add stability and the upper shelves will only have light weight bric a brac so I am not worried about tipping over. I highly recommend this product. Less
Looks GREAT in my home.
Easy to assemble. Looks GREAT!!!! Like many others who have critiqued this bookcase, the back panels of this unit are a bit ridiculous. Surely for the price the manufacturer could have added a better backing. That said, now that my unit is in my home and the back of the unit is against a wall, no one will really know this seeming flaw or weakness. Will buy again if I find I need a second bookshelf.
This bookcase was not 38 inches wide. The shelves are...
This bookcase was not 38 inches wide. The shelves are only 36.75 wide. Only 2 shelves are adjustable and that is only 1inch up and1 inch down. There are gaps between the joints where the top meets the sides. I'm very disapointed.
Pleasant Surprise
Imagine my surprise when I unboxed shelves that are actually solid wood. I know they are described that way. Seems like that isn't always what arrives. These are solid, great stain ready finish. No more than a very light sanding needed. Excellent quality for the money. Will buy this brand again. Highly recommend.
Solid and looks good; but frustrating
Primary elements of the bookcase are solid and go together with relative ease. The sliding of the backing into the bookcase is clever and effective. The few premarked holes, however, do not line up with the middle shelf and the prepared holes in the two back support bars would split the wood on the bookcase if used. In the end, I just abandoned the two back bars. The really problem with the bookcase is that it needs to be four inches higher if you want four shelves for hardbacks. Based on the location of the fixed middle shelf, you have to set your adjustable shelves at the highest of the three prepared holes for the supports of those shelves. This allows you to use the second and fourth shelves for hardbacks. The third shelf, however, creates an area too small for standard hardbacks and many paperbacks. The first shelf can accommodate hardback books - sort of. The ornamental overhang from the top makes the height too small and the only way to get a hardback onto the shelf is sliding it in at an angle. This means that you cannot use the full length for hardbacks, as you will need to pull out some books in order to get out any hardbacks on the first shelf. Less
