Not that bad to assemble. Look decent for the price and shipped fast

Easy to build and perfect size

I felt compelled to write a review here for this bookcase. The photos online looked nice but the price was almost too good to be true when compared to others I'd been looking at.

Well, I ordered 3 and while there are a LOT of pieces to put together, the bookshelf is SUPER heavy and well made. Definitely not a lightweight piece of junk. The directions to put together are excellent and all of the predrilled holes and parts were perfect. Each unit will take maybe 2-3 hours to put together. I did the first one by itself and when my other 2 arrived, I got really organized and did them at the same time, side by side to save some time.

My only piece of advice is to really look at the drawings carefully because there are a couple of pieces you could put on backwards if you're not careful. Also, when the top gets placed on the base, you'll likely need another person to help you if you aren't tall and/or strong.

Highly recommend!!!

P.S. Pics include one that shows all the wood pieces for one bookshelf. The photos that shows the hardware is for 2 bookshelves that I mixed together.

The instructions were very clear, the quality is great. Love it

The retro top and wood legs give it character, and the footprint works well in our multipurpose room. Good mix of display and storage without making the space feel cluttered.

For the price, the finish and stability are impressive. It looks like something from a boutique shop, not flat-pack, and the height draws the eye up, which makes the room feel a bit bigger.

I styled it with novels, framed photos, and a couple of plants. The adjustable shelves let me play around with the layout until it felt right, and it turned an unused corner into a feature.

Overall very sturdy and stable once everything is tightened. The boards are strong enough for books, though I wouldn’t overload a single shelf with all the heaviest items in one spot.

The rustic grey finish adds character without making the room feel dark. I like the wooden legs and crossbars; they give a nice touch and the shelves don’t sag under my heavier hardcovers.

I use it for reference books, storage boxes, and a printer on the top. It doesn’t stick out too far, which is perfect for a tighter office space, and it really helps keep things off the floor.
