Quality product
I was looking for a bookshelf that was good quality and made of solid wood. This is absolutely beautiful. Definitely worth the extra money. Easy to put together and is really great looking.

Solid bookcase
The item arrived on time, undamaged and well packaged. All components are solid pine, fit perfectly and are nicely finished. All appropriate hardware was included and the assembly instructions were clear although the part “A”, “B”, “C”, etc parts identification was challenging because the identifying labels had fallen off of the parts. Even so, the design is pretty simple and an exploded parts drawing is included in the assembly instructions. At this price point, I doubt that I could have purchased the materials to build the unit from scratch for the same dollars.

These are wonderful.
I was thinking I would have to build the bookshelves myself, as I did not want MDF or IKEA ones. These are all wood and go together very easily. They are sturdy and worth the money. YEAH!!! Just what I wanted to make my little Library.

Decent quality. Look really good when put together.
I bought 4 of the white 48â units to do a built in like look and have room above for pictures and decorative items.I like that you can vary the shelf heights to accommodate for large books/items.I put them together myself. It got faster the further i got in. Instructions are comprehensive enough. No extra parts.Everything lined up pretty good. Afew small gaps nothing that cant be fixed with caulking. Yes i am a perfectionist and they bother me, so i will fix them, but not really necessary. When assembled most would not notice it.I like that these are made of wood. I did use glue in the dowel holes.The backing is necessary to stablize the unit. I toyed with leaving them off, but will cut holes where plug sockets are.The reason i gave a 4/5 stars is the last unit i put together was misaligned. If i had done this one first i would have sent them all back. I had to shave a significant portion of the dowels off to get it aligned. This left a huge gap in the bottom shelf, and in my opinion significantly reduced the integrity of the unit. I guess there are always rotten apples with mass production.I am going to add moulding to the front to close the gap between the units when they are lined up to give the built in feel.Overall happy with the purchase.

Good buy
Nice finish, better quality than I thought. I would advise to not rush the assembly, but to take time to enjoy the effort and get it perfect.

Tips for installation
It’s a beautiful bookcase with a gorgeous color. Yes, it has some small imperfections, but they would never be noticed by anyone.Someone complained that they are obviously mass-produced. Surely they didn’t expect a hand-made special order solid wood piece of furniture for this price point?Somebody else complained that the bottom just sits on top of the skirt, with nothing holding them together. Not true. There iAre screws connecting both. You just have to pay attention to the instructions and the pieces.I can see why they recommend 2 people to put it together, but I had to do it on my own. I am a 74 years old female, and got the 6 shelves one. It wasn’t exactly easy, but I managed. Actually, one of the hardest parts was unpacking this thing. And I am not kidding. Everything was so snug with so much protection.The instructions are actually quite good, though I much prefer the lost art of verbal ones.The MDF back will be in the garage for a while, for the formaldehyde to dissipate. Though there is no odor, thankfully.The design is brilliant. If you try to fit something backward or upside down, no holes align, and you just can’t. For the most part. Though I still managed, it’s my special talent. Pieces 4 and 10 were tricky for me, figuring out the front from the back. And the upper and lower skirts. On the side pieces, the indentations are toward the back, by the way, so the front of the shelves has to be away from them. My most important advice is to verify 5 times the piece you are about to connect is placed correctly, and to not force it, or drill nee holes. If it doesn’t fit, you most likely have it reversed, or it’s the wrong piece.Also, if you find it for a cheaper price it’s a scam and won’t ship. As in aliexpress sellers.

Very nice book shelf, but a little pricey.
