• Simple instructions made this very easy to put together. However, the area around each screw tended to crack but this was covered by the locking part. For the price it is a very nice bookcase and I plan on purchasing a second one.
• WARNING: Watch a Youtube Video of how cam bolt & lock pieces work before you begin. YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF. We wasted an entire hour trying to figure out how the heck those things work. Directions are not great and say the bolt must be FLUSH with the wood. Well, flush means ONLY TO THE MIDDLE OF THE BOLT. So after watching the video on how those work (and the entire unit goes together with those) it went by much faster and with much less cussing. We purchased another piece of furniture from a different store afterward that has the same system and we were glad we cut our teeth on this one first with the cam bolt/lock system. Our only complaint is that the back of this is basically tough cardboard but you CANNOT tell even when shelves are empty. You WILL need a drill to drill pilot holes for the teeny tiny screws that attach the back to these — there are only two pre-drilled for you & there are about 15-20. Oh — and black screws are visible inside shelves if you don’t plan on filling the shelf with books edge-to-edge. You’ll need some cheap spackle and paint to fill those in. These flank either side of our fireplace until we can afford true built-ins and they look pretty darn good. Fit is perfect. For just over a hundred bucks — we’re thrilled. Don’t hesitate on this one.
• It was packaged very well for shipping. Instructions for assembly were easy to read and follow, it took over an hour to assemble. The final product was a beautiful piece of furniture that looked as though it came ready made from a furniture store. I am planning on buying another one.
• Attractive bookcase, molding gives it a better quality appearance. Directions for assembly were a little off.
• Compared to the price of some bookshelves out there, this is good value. Looks as advertised, relatively easy to put together (think Ikea-like furniture), and sturdy, at a good price.
• Putting things together is a monster for many people so it is an awesome idea to have the hardware numbered per step. It makes things much simpler for even the less accomplished assembler. I would suggest using an electric tool for all the screws, done by hand and screwdriver, the numerous parts will leave your hands aching. I love the color! The rich walnut is beautiful and the back of the unit is a solid color so it doesn’t have to face a wall (which helps with designing the room’s layout). However, there were no listed measurements in the ad I saw, so the location I had planned is not going to work. Living in a small apartment, this causes difficulties; because it’s taller than I thought from the picture. The roominess of the shelving is great. And it is horizontal so if you have little ones, they can easily reach their own books. The top is beautiful enough to be left plain but it is also a great height for showing off knick-knacks or just sitting things down when you come home from work. I am very happy with this bookcase. My only complaint is that I did not know its measurements before ordering.
• This bookcase is made of the poorest quality particle board and so many pieces it took about three hours to put together.
