Sturdy and Perfect for Decor

I bought the French Oak one and I'm VERY happy with the choice I made. The bookshelf is sturdy and well made and, in answer to people who were afraid it would tip over, I solved that problem. I put the unit up against a wall and found that putting it on carpeting, yes, it seemed like the weight of books made it tip forward. To solve that, though, since there was a small perfect screw hole in the very top, I screwed the top of the bookshelf to the wall. Problem solved. (If you don't have the screw hole at the top, just drill a small hole yourself and screw it to the wall.) I've received a lot of compliments about this and I'm very happy with it. I'm surprised the price was so low. This is worth a lot more than what I paid for it.

easy

easy to assemble n really fast shipping !!!

Not made well

While taking factory instruction stickers off the black finish peeled off too. I expected something much better made for the price I paid.

DON'T BUY THIS!!!!!!!

This is the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen. I needs to be fastened to the wall, it cannot stand by itself. The space available for books is minimal.

This product doesn’t have any quality, color came out with the sticker. Very disappointed. I do not recommend this product.

Not sturdy enough to hold books.

The whole unit is bowing forward from the weight of the books. Very dissatisfied!

Awesome Reading

One of the tiles was broken when I began to put it together but CS was accommodating and sent a replacement right away.

I am going to order one. We have lots...

I am going to order one. We have lots of books and it keeps them so organized.

Run, Don't Walk Away From This

I have built/assembled many furniture-type items for home use. They have been of differing quality, sometimes correlating with price point, but not always. Trust me when I say that I would suggest that unless you enjoy the typical $25 tv stand look, you won't find this visually pleasing in person. Also, if you've seen the Christmas Story movie with the dad cursing nonstop at the house furnace, assembling this can quickly make you of the same mindset. So, the screws used to assemble the pieces are supposedly going to be finger tightened, although there is nothing to tell you this and no tool. I ended up resorting to a short screwdriver as the positioning of the connection points is awkward and cramped. As you screw them in, they create sawdust (or whatever the particle board equivalent is) and if you are lucky enough that they fit the holes, they untighten along the way. A few of mine never did anything but spin in the holes with no connection to the designated corresponding piece. After three hours, I packed it back up for return and ordered a different brand, which took all of 30 minutes to assemble and was actually a joy to build and see. I can't imagine trusting this piece of junk to hold up around children or pets, regardless of how much you strapped it to the wall, or better, the studs. There are reviews on other sites that you should read if you are really set on buying this. Spend a little more money and get something else that is worth your time and effort. Less

Needed for a narrow area, works!

Nice but basic tree shelving. Little bit of a challenge to build but pretty straightforward and guided. I certainly would not want one taller as they can present a top heavy tipping scenario.
