 This piece is absolute junk! Jun 25, 2008
By Chuck Davis
I couldn't believe how poor this product was when I opened the box. And it had nothing to do with damage during shipment. The pieces you have to assemble are extremely lightweight and not sturdy at all. The only piece that's worth more than $5 is perhaps the top piece. It may actually be wood. The finish on mine was also horrible. It looked somewhat warped and was washed out in several large and very noticeable spots. I purchased this as a book shelf and was absolutely floored at the low quality!

Shelf May 23, 2010
By Janette A. MANION
I actually returned this item for credit as it had some damage when it arrived. I did not assemble it nor did I re-order.

Piece of crap! Apr 21, 2012
By Cren Sullivan
The only thing solid wood about this is the top shelf and supports. The rest is flimsy (think thickness of cardboard is more sturdy) THe reviewer who gave it a 5 star rating must either have EXTREMELY low standards or is an employee of the company that makes this worthless stuff.

Extremely inferior quality bookcase! Apr 14, 2012
By gallen720
Okay, so I didn't pay much for this bookcase. But even considering that, this is an extremely inferior quality product. I've put together a LOT of ready-to-assemble furniture in my day, and I consider myself fairly adept at doing so. But this bookcase is ridiculous. So what's wrong with you you ask?
It actually is fairly attractive, as long as you don't look too closely. The top, which is the first piece you unpack, is actual quite substantial and is very attractive. I thought I was off to a good start. But then I started unpacking the rest of of - the shelves, sides and the back panel. I'm used to the back panel being just a thin piece of veneer or particle board, but with this bookcase the shelves and sides are too! Oh, and the back is in three flimsy pieces, joined with a plastic routing strip. I knew I was in trouble by the time I finished unpacking. But, always the optimist I persisted on.
The shelves and sides are held together with plastic dowels, and only a couple of screws. And you can't use a normal screw driver because it requires an Allen wrench (included), but the screws are so close to the sides you can't turn the Allen wrench all the way around, making it very difficult and time consuming to screw the pieces together. But the screws and the dowels also don't hold it together tightly - they leave noticeable gaps between the pieces.
The instructions (or picture book, I should say - typical though), are kind enough to recommend that you have two people assembling the unit. I can recommend you take their suggestion! I did it by myself, but only after maneuvering it around and leaning pieces up against a sofa, and then it never really worked so well.
So given the flimsy construction and veneer/particle board shelves and sides, I now have a reasonably attractive bookcase (from a distance), but I don't dare put much on it. Fortunately it's for a guest room where I really don't plan to put too much on it, but if I had purchase it for a real bookcase or storage unit, I would be really out of luck. I probably should return it, but you never really know how it will end up until you put it together, and I simply don't have the energy nor do I care enough to take it apart and ship it back. However, I did totally waste my money. Do not buy this regardless of how attractive you think it is!!!!!
