  • Sturdy bookshelf. Great value for money. Hard to assemble.
Color: Walnut
✓ Package arrived on time and in perfect condition. No damages. No missing parts. Please note that this product is shipped via Ground and by "on time" I mean the normal amount of time it takes for Ground shipping (In my case it usually takes 6-7 days). ✓ Material : Particle boards. Particle Wood Frame. ✓ Quality: Great. Extremely sturdy! ✓ All required Hardware are included. In addition to the included hardware, the assembly process requires a Philip screwdriver. I also used a 3.6V power screwdriver (from Ikea). ✓ Assembly and installation: Hard. - The instruction manual contains only picture illustrations. It does not provide any worded explanation. But the illustrations are quite understandable. - The pre drilled holes are a little too small for the included hardware. This requires us to put in a lot of power and effort to install this bookshelf. I used a 3.6 V power screwdriver in certain steps during the installation and it saved me a lot of energy. - Even though at the end of the installation we get a sturdy and strong bookshelf, I strongly feel that the entire process could have been made a lot more easier if only the predrilled holes were a little bigger. ✓ This bookshelf can be used as a stand alone assembly OR could be installed on to the wall. Hardware is included for both options. I opted to use this as a standalone assembly. For this, two blocks are included which need to be attached to the two hind legs of the bookshelf. This prevents the bookshelf from tipping over. But please note that if you are using this standalone option, the bookshelf is going to be protruding 3.5 inches from the wall. ✓ So at the end, I've got a very strong and sturdy bookshelf after a long and tedious installation process. The exceptional quality and sturdiness of this product outweighs the problems encountered during it's installation. Hence I've given it a 5 star rating. ✓ Dimensions; Overall height - 71" Width - 25" Depths of the shelves are as follows: Bottom most shelf - 13.5" First shelf from the bottom - 11.1" Second shelf from the bottom - 9" Third shelf from bottom (second from top) - 6.8" Top most shelf - 4.5" ... show more

  • 5 Stars Overall; 4 On Sturdiness, Stability, & Ease of Assembly
Color: White
Overall, 5 stars. It's perfect for what we wanted - to frame our TV & create an entertainment center that focused on our books, plants, & pictures. The assembly was weird... I'm an Ikea put-together-er professional (or at least I consider myself one), and I follow directions well. Some of the holes didn't line up with ease and you had to force hold while you're assembling. Now, you didn't have redrill or anything like that, just use some strength. If you have little kids, I'd secure them to the walls. I don't so I'm not too worried about that. There's a larger gap if you have floor molding between the back of the shelf and the wall. So if you put pocket books on there, then there's a possibility they might slip back, but other than that, these were exactly what we were looking for and I'd recommend them! ... show more

  • sturdy cheap shelf with a few managable challenges, not suitable for weak hands
Color: Walnut
Overall we liked this shelf, and we will probably get more of them when the need arises. i will agree with the reviews saying its a bit of a pain to put together, but it wasnt unmanageable. i put it together alone in maybe an hour and a half? and im your average person, ive put together these kinds of things before but im no expert. just take your time and read really closely and take the tips the reviewers here have about doing step 3 first. it really does work out better, and itll save you some frustration. aside from that seriously READ. CAREFULLY. really look at the photos, note the orientation of the pieces in the photos. its not always super clear, but if you slow down you should be alright. i will say, if you have hand strength issues, this is going to be a challenge for you. there are screws in step 3 that go all the way up each side of the shelf that are sort of a cam screw? ish? but you have to do them by hand, they cant be done with any kind of tool, and they are a beast to get in. the holes for them are just barely big enough, so you have to exert a ton of force to get them in and do it a dozen or so times all told. so get help with that part, or just take breaks between doing them. theres one more important tip- when you mount the shelves, as another person pointed out there will be a correct way to mount them and a wrong way. if you do it the wrong way, you later on wont have screw holes for your brackets. the manual doesnt make any note of this, but if you just keep an eye out and look closely to find the little screw holes (they're teeny and easy to miss) and remember to have those facing towards to front of the shelf, youll be good. the only really huge frustration for us were the small blocks they give you to put on the base for if its free standing, those things were so incredibly infuriating. for some reason it was a huge struggle to get them on, even with a power drill. it was honestly the most irritating part of the whole process, that last ten minutes to do 2 pieces of wood. i did have one shelf split when attaching it to the frame which stinks, since it was a predrilled hole and right in the front, but it was only the one shelf. the rest of it came free of ding scratches etc, so it still looks pretty nice. i dislike that all of the screws and bits are mingled together so it not sorted nicely, but it just means you need to set aside a few minutes to sort them into neat piles yourself. all in all for the price, it was worth the work for us. ... show more

  • Very sturdy, slightly tedious to put together
Color: Espresso
Overall I'm very happy with this bookshelf, it wasn't expensive, wasn't bad to put together, and seems sturdy. The instructions are only diagrams but if you take some time to look through them first and match up the various screws and parts it's not bad. I've ordered another and will definitely use a drill next time since it took more elbow grease than I expected especially for all the small fiddly screws for the brackets. The whole thing fit together well though, which was nice since I've had some cheap furniture that didn't line up at all. I haven't put anything in it yet but it seems very sturdy and the instructions say that each shelf holds 25 lbs. There are extra blocks you can screw on to make it more stable if you don't attach it to the wall, but I may remove them so it's flat against the wall instead. ... show more

  • Quite Nice for the Price
Color: Walnut
Fairly priced and exactly what I was looking for! I definitely needed the blocks for the base to keep it sturdy without attaching to the wall. Despite other reviews saying it was difficult to assemble, we actually found this to be one of the easiest piece of furniture we’ve assembled, like less than 20 mins assembling! I’m not sure if they changed packaging/instructions or what but I’ll admit I was intimidated by reviews that said it was difficult only to find the exact opposite just my experience. It’s not perfect as there were some very minor dings on a piece or two but again I couldn’t beat the price and they were so negligible, I was more nervous sending it back and getting one worse. Very happy with this purchase! ... show more

  • This cute shelf is the WORST thing EVER!
Color: White
1 Star - for it being cute. But the person who engineered this, and also whoever wrote the instructions at Amazon should literally be FIRED. Let me start this by saying I've successfully built and installed MANY different IKEA pieces, including an ENTIRE KITCHEN. This Amazon Basics shelf makes IKEA furniture look magical and like little elves probably came and built the IKEA piece for you because it was so easy. ***If you have problems putting IKEA furniture together, STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!!***** This dumb shelf took me an HOUR to put together because it is so STUPIDLY designed. First of all, to whoever wrote the instructions, Step 3 should be Step 1! That would have made things way easier, but more on that later. To the idiot who engineered this piece of junk (which by the way, the finish is junk and chipping at all the edges), you NEVER, ever, require the use of an Alan Wrench on something large that needs to be built flat. I guarantee that the majority of people are going to be building this on the floor (given not may people have a giant work table just laying around (as I can only assume the builders at Amazon had when designing this). So the first steps are basically impossible unless you sit with the shelf in your lap to turn the Alan Wrench. Now where Step 3 should be 1. If you see this, put those weird 'screw dowel things' in first, otherwise you will have NO room to turn a screwdriver (see my one photo of how tight it is). This problem made things go WAY slower than needed. Or use a tiny handle screwdriver, which will cause its own issues. The metal screw 'catch' things you are so used to in IKEA furniture is used in this shelf as well, but unlike IKEA, none of these want to go in. I had to force 90% of them in, and one just never would go in (I tried several), so who knows if my shelf will stay together. Nothing fits well, and there was a lot of 'forcing' happening. I was literally sweating on a 60 degree day because it was so hard to put this thing together. One would think the process would get easier as you go, but no, just more frustrations. The shelves, which have no indication of front or back (either on the piece or the instructions), if they are put in wrong (which you won't know until the end) you won't be able to screw in the shelf supports because a hole will be missing.... not that the holes line up in the right spot even when you do have the shelf the right direction. They put labeling stickers on the shelf pieces, and they couldn't even bother putting them in spots that wouldn't show... or using stickers that would peel off. If you can find a similar shelf that's even $100 and EASIER to put together, I say go with that. Literally so frustrated at this shelf. ... show more

  • Really nice display shelves for great price
Color: White
I use this as a display shelf for dolls. It was not easy to put together - but that wasn't a problem because I let my husband do it. It's a great size, the varying depth of selves is perfect for different sizes of dolls and it looks great.

  • Great bargain and looks good, but extremely difficult to assemble
Color: Walnut
First of all, the good--this looks very nice, and is virtually indistinguishable from similar shelves that cost more than twice as much. At this price, I was expecting low quality particle board that is basically little more than compressed sawdust, but this is much better quality than that. Were it not for the below issues, this would easily get four or five stars from me. The bad thing is how difficult this is to assemble. Other reviewers have said that step three in the instructions should be first, and I agree. More than that, though, the brackets should be secured to the sides BEFORE sliding in the shelves. I have normal, adult-male-sized hands, and I could NOT get the majority of the brackets to screw in. I couldn't fit my drill, and I tried five different screwdrivers, including a pen screwdriver, mini screwdriver, and one of the extremely long ones, and it was honestly impossible to do. It didn't help that the screws are more in line with what one would expect at this price range; I ended up stripping several. I ended up not using the brackets (aside from the one shelf I was able to get both in on by some miracle), since my only other option was completely taking the whole thing apart. I've put together a lot of furniture in my lifetime, especially over the past two years, and I can say without any exaggeration that this was the most frustrating piece I have ever assembled. This was especially disappointing for me because this was the first truly negative experience that I've had with an Amazon Basics product. This is definitely worth considering if you're looking for a shelf in this style, but if you do purchase it, be sure to do the brackets on the sides before inserting the shelves. ... show more
