Beautiful sturdy bookcases
I love love love these bookshelves! I’ve ordered 4 of the 6 shelf and 4 of the 3 shelf to stack ontop! (Don’t worry they’re secured to each other and the wall) these bookcases and very sturdy and come together beautifully. I ordered in black and love that they still have that wood grain look and not a flat color. They’re made of wood and are actually quite heavy for what they are. I haven’t had any issues with damage over the years of use and they hold a lot of weight. Overall I’d say they’re 100% worth the money. A little more expensive than some but much cheaper than most.

Nice bookcase, no bad smell, will be handy!
Pretty decent shelves, altho not deep. There were stickers on certain parts, but they came off very easily. It’s fairly simple to put together (although does take some time), and it’s sturdy. However, it does need securing if you have a little person in your house. The problem is the lack of depth, and if you have carpeting, it really isn’t 100% safe without securing to the wall. We have floor molding (like short wainscotting), so couldn’t use the brackets. Inside, we used a thick fabric belt-like cord from a luggage tie. Nailed one end to the top of the shelves and screwed (with those flanged screws) the other end to the wall. Definitely secure.One last note: I had asked reviewers if this bookshelf had any residual smell from its engineered wood. I was told by several helpful customers that it didn’t. They were 100% correct, and because of them, I purchased it. So thank you to those who responded.

Just what I needed + assembly notes
Exactly what I expected when I ordered, since I rely on melamine pieces for my laundry, studio, home office and this utility closet tucked in under the stairs — inexpensive, sturdy, quick to construct, very practical and easy to keep clean.The Allen wrench is included, but note you’ll need that specific bit if you want to use a drill — which makes everything quick! Just don’t drill to fast or you’ll push right through the fiberboards. I finished in about 20 minutes, but then I’ve done a lot of this. It was nice to find that they included 1-2 extra of each type of hardware, though luckily didn’t need any of it as the screw heads didn’t strip or anything else fail.Note that the screws are visible on each side and no solution provided by the manufacturer, so I covered mine with some thick white sticky dots from a previous piece; you could also just fill and paint them or even pop on a white mailing label cut to size! I can’t stand them, even in a utility closet. :-)A hammer isn’t listed in the instructions, but you’ll need it to tap in the bottom feet.Also, if you’re like me and don’t want the huge, obnoxious stickers threatening you to screw this thing to your wall (I don’t have pets or children, or climb on furniture myself), just use a hair dryer to warm it up for a minute and they will peel off without leaving residue; I also had to do this with the lettered stickers identifying each part as they tried to leave glue behind.There are three positions drilled for each of the two shelves so they can be adjusted even after assembly, and I appreciate the metal pegs rather than the breakable plastic pegs that come with my older pieces.Also, I really like the new type of backing – the accordion-folded, coated cardboard slides into a slot rather than having to carefully hammer it to the back with teeny tiny nails I could never hold or, worse, those plastic-headed tacks where the nail always bent or broke through the plastic – worst part of putting together the old pieces! And don’t skip the little plastic braces – they keep the backing nice and tight, and less likely to be bent or broken if you push something a bit too far onto the shelves.Anyhoo, if you have realistic expectations and don’t manhandle it while doing the construction, I think you’ll also be satisfied with this bookshelf. I wouldn’t hesitate to order another one if the need arises.

The setup was straightforward, and all tools required for initial assembly are included. You are given the materials, but not the tools, to attach the shelf to the wall for additional stability. I would recommend this step, as without the anchors the shelf is a bit on the wobbly side.Why don’t I install the anchors, you may ask? I am renting and don’t want to damage my walls. I also found using the Allen wrench to build the shelf a bit rough on the fingers. Aside from that, the shelf pieces are well labeled.I was slightly disappointed to find out that the wood is OSB, and the shelf is a bit on the heavy side. On a positive note, the overall look of the shelf is quite nice—it has a sleek design and, most importantly, does the job of holding books and decorations.

Looks great in my room and the assembly was very easy just once you had all the pieces assembled. It went up quickly.

Meuble très bien conçu et facile à monter. J’ai une grande collection de ceux-ci. Bref, j’adore !Le seul point négatif est celui-ci :Par pitié est-il possible de ne pas coller d’aussi gros collants sur le meuble ? Ils sont impossible à retirer et cochonne tout le meuble. Si on veut gratter avec un grattoir, on prend le risque d’abîmer le bois… Ces étiquettes auraient pu être faites dans un matériel différent que celui-ci !
