Cheaply Made, Horrible to assemble
We just received this last week and it is NOT what I thought it would be. Yes, it's steel but it's flimsy and uses a cardboard backing. On top of this, the assembly is horrible. The design makes it very very difficult to install the screws and if you don't have small hands, forget it. Also, the instructions are worse than Ikea's!
Perfect Size
It's a little less sturdy than I imagined, but once I put items on it, it was completely fine. We use it for storage of reams of paper and envelopes.
functional but I can't recommend this to anyone. Design is very poor as far as assembly. The worst piece of self-assembled furniture I've ever had over the years. Some contortionist skills are recommended to be able to assemble.
out of line
it seemed simple to put together but the holes did not line up and made it impossible to put together, it now sit by the trash
Needs some redesign
Generally a fine product, but assembly greatly complicated by the lack of alignment between the pre-drilled screw points for the sheet metal structure with the heavy cardboard backing for the rear of the shelves. Had to rip apart the cardboard backing in order to find the screw hole behind it. There are a couple of easy solutions to this, but preferably done before the parts are shipped and sent to the customer. Took much, much longer to assemble than it should have.
Very sturdy, arrived on time. The neutral color is nice without looking too industrial. I have two side by side, and they provide nice, deep storage shelves.

A heartbreaking waste of money
Poorly made. I had to discard the cheap cardboard backing because the holes didn't line up with the metal. Eventually gave up and threw it in the trash. Don't waste your money -- this is really, really awful.
Sturdy shelf!
I purchased this for a my office to hold heavy binders. It serves its purpose and is very sturdy. It was very easy to assemble and shipping was fast! I also used a 10% off coupon so I was pleased with the price.

The bookcase is not sturdy at all. It is very cheap! The back of bookcase is made of card board
Great price for sturdy shelves
I was trying to avoid buying cheap particle board or composite wood shelves so this shelving unit fit the bill for affordability and good material. The only disappointment is the cardboard back for the shelves, which isn't a nice long lasting material.
Perfect addition to our office decor
This bookcase fits in perfectly with the desk we recently bought from Overstock.com. Great addition to our office
Perfect bookcase
My husband recently finished the last space in our home. It is a combination re-loading area and work shop with all his tools. He has so many books and we had no place for them. He placed it in the middle of the floor. Bought him the bookcase for Christmas and he liked it so well he wanted another to put back to back. Very easy to assemble and very well made. Suits the purpose. Using the second one for storage boxes. Tidy and love the fact that it is painted and matches the color of the room.
3-shelf economy bookcase
Bookcase is nice and was easy to put together. Some minor scratches out of the box, but not in a visible location.
Great Product
Just what I expected. For the price this product is great.
Good, but with nitpicks and reservations
I purchased this "metal" bookcase, for my home office, thinking that with metal shelves, I would not have to worry about "sagging" shelves,, down the road. Well, after putting it together, with it's cardboard back (instead of metal), it is a bit jiggly and I believe there will be sagging, in the future.
Easy to put together and sturdy design
We needed something that would hold 3 ring binders comfortably and could withstand daily use. The instructions for assembly were easy to follow and it went together easily. The 3 ring binders fit into the shelves easily and it looks good as well.
metal bookshelf. kind of a pain to put together.
The actual metal part of the shelf is easy, but the backing is hard to put in. It comes with little plastic push pins that are pretty much worthless. The shelfs are not easily adjustable. To move them, you have to unscrew it in 4 places and fight with push pins. Can hold some weight. I have a 10 gallon tank, lamp, photo albums, books and such on mine and it seems to be holding up well.
Not worth the money!
The product was sub standard for the price, paint was blistering and it chipped when putting together.
