Nice and sturdy
My wife wanted a new shelf for her study and we settled on this one. I was very pleased to see how tightly the twist-lock fasteners hold the pieces together. Once the shelf was assembled and the backboard tacked-on (took me about 45 minutes all-in), it looks great. Since it’s tall and a little slim, you will need to attach it to your wall for safety reasons to prevent tip-over issues. But this is true for any taller shelf, so safety is always at the forefront especially if there are toddlers and small children in the house. We are very pleased with the form and function of this shelf and recommend it to others looking for a quality shelf at a reasonable price.

Good quality, customer support, and easy assembly
This is a sturdy, solid build, which took about an hour to assemble. The instructions were clear and thorough. I needed some minor support post assembly and the support team was very helpful and friendly.

A Good Shelf IF You Put Extra Money Into It
I purchased this shelf unit because the reviews suggested it was a sturdy unit and since it looked nice, I wanted it to replace a storage bin that held stuff outside of my bathroom. When I assembled it initially, there was a slight wobble with the unit. I partially disassembled the main areas that held it together to verify it was assembled correctly and it was. I just didn’t like the slight wobble if touched on the left or right of the shelf unit. I went to the hardware store and spent an extra $18 to get Wood Glue, 8 x1/2 Phillips Flathead Screws, and 3 sets of 4 L brackets to fix the unit. Under the 3 main areas that are stationary, I did some initial drill holes with some Wood Glue and L brackets and drilled them in with the Flathead Screws. I also opted against using nails again for the back board that were provided as they don’t seem strong enough. Adding Wood Glue and Flathead Screws for the back holes, it made a stronger hold to the back and added additional support to the 3 stationary levels that do not move that I added the 4 L brackets. Once finished, it eliminated the wobble and it was very sturdy to me. So I rated it, once applying some extra work to the unit, 4 out of 5 stars. If I didn’t perform extra work on the unit, it might be a 2 or 3 stars out of 5 depending on your tolerance to a slight wobble. So I’m very happy with the unit now and the L brackets and screws used on the back of the unit are hidden enough that it doesn’t distract from the nice looking unit.

Great value.
This product was packed so tight and with plenty of protective layers there was little chance it would be damaged. The assemble was simple with easy instructions. Though it is manufactured wood, it is made with quality. And once together, it looks great. It for exactly as I expected. 2 small flaws though. The backing had a small defect that didn’t allow a flush fit but it is barely noticeable. Second, the was a spot where the paint pooled a little but again barely noticeable. I’m very ð

Love It
The size, depth, shape, design. I love everything about this shelf. I’m sure it was a me error but after building it, it had a slight sway, but once I put items on it, it stopped. Overall really glad I got it, just wish I got another.

Love these bookshelves and brand!!
I already had one of these in the natural color. Iâve had it for years and moved a couple times. It looks as good as it did the day I put it together. They are very durable and sturdy. They are very easily assembled. This is a great brand. I have a desk and shoe bench also. Would definitely recommend any of their products. I used these bookshelves on either side of my TV stand which was not purchased here.
