This isn't my first Sauder product and it won't be my last. They are just great quality for a great price. First of all the way it was packaged was fantastic. Very carefully wrapped in extra (thick) cardboard on all edges and upon opening, each piece was separated from the other with a cute butterfly tissue like paper. Not that the butterfly print mattered but since this was for my oldest daughter it was appropriate and she thought it was cute. I thought it was nice especially since this was the fourth dresser/bookcase type of furniture I've put together in the last week with none of the others being carefully packaged like this. Second, this was insanely easy to put together. I love to build things and the more challenging they are the more I enjoy building them. However, my lovely husband "hates changing a light bulb". (His words exactly to my carpenter father.) This was so simple he could've put it together and probably would have without complaining once. I almost let my nine year old build it himself (to be nice to his sister)...That easy. Third, and finally, it is very sturdy for only eight screws holding it together. They are pretty long screws but I was apprehensive as to it's its strength when I was building it seeing as those eight screws were all there was to it. It is plenty sturdy for the minimal things my daughter is using it to house. Of course I'm being careful and only letting her put heavier things on the very bottom which is kind of a common sense thing. It's actually taller than I thought it would be which is perfectly fine for where it is. Overall I'm highly impressed although like I mentioned first this isn't my first rodeo with Sauder.

For starters, these are not fancy book cases, nor did I expect them to be. I was looking for simple, effective, attractive, well made book cases to augment the storage at my desk at work. These had good reviews, the price seemed fair, and so I ordered 2 and had them shipped to my office. The short form of my review ... I love them. :) Now for the rest of the story, if you care to get the details. PACKAGING The packaging was VERY robust, with good solid cardboard cases used, but with extra corner reinforcing pads added to the outside of each edge of the shipping case. I've not seen these before. It's a self-adhesive corner pad that runs along the edge of the case and provides extra protection against edge crushing. They seem to work really well and are easy to remove by simply pulling them off. Great idea! PRODUCT QUALITY AND CONDITION The parts for the book cases inside were packed identically, which made opening and retrieving the parts easy and predictable. All the parts inside were in good to excellent condition, with only one corner damaged across 2 book cases, and that was not during shipping as the packaging in that area was flawless, so it must have happened during manufacturing or loading into the box. The damage was very minor, and I don't consider it an issue. The color of the material is very pleasing to the eye and the texture feels very nice to touch. The only oddness in the contents of the boxes was that the first case I opened had exactly the number of fasteners I needed to assemble the book case, while the second had quite a few extras. ASSEMBLY I've built quite a few book cases in my lifetime, and these were as easy to assemble as any I've built. The instructions were correct and complete if you need them, but I personally found they weren't necessary as the assembly is rather simple. The only tool I used was my Swiss Army Knife to screw in the Phillips head screws. If you plan to nail on the faux-wood-finish cardboard back panel, you'll need a hammer, but I preferred these open backed, so no hammering was required. All the parts went together easily without forcing, fit properly and felt solid and square when I was done. I did each one, alone, in my tiny cubicle with no problems. SHELVES Small metal pegs fit into holes in the side panels, onto which clear rubber tips slide over the end to protect the shelves from damage rubbing against the metal pegs. Nice touch. The shelves fit perfectly first time, no issues. CONS Aside from one tiny bit of superficial manufacturing damage to one corner of one book case, I'm 100% satisfied with these book cases. They made quite a nice addition to my cube. One of the bosses swung by at one point and commented that my cube was beginning to look more like an office.

I got this Sauder Beginnings Highland Oak 3-Shelf Bookcase to store my books (obviously!) as well as other stuff, like special china, and while technically, this is a 3 shelf bookcase, because I use the top of the bookcase as well (as can be seen in the first photo) its more like a 4 shelf bookcase for me. There isn't really much to say about it. It's purpose, as well as how to use it is pretty obvious & self-explanatory. This is an oak finish bookcase to keep books or other items, like DVDs/Blu-rays, CDs, VHS videos and/or small knick-knacks on shelves. Two of the shelves on this bookcase are adjustable, allowing various-sized items to be put on the shelves where they fit best. Also, assembly of this item is pretty easy, needing only a screwdriver and a hammer -- though having a power screwdriver (like I do) makes assembling this bookcase a LOT faster & easier than with a manual screwdriver. Although for the most part, I'm pretty satisfied with this product — especially given the price I paid for it, I still DO have a couple quibbles, hence my rating drop of 1 star to 4 stars. First off, I wish that this bookcase were a bit stronger/more sturdy, because although, if I recall correctly (I'd have to re-check the assembly instructions manual to verify and I don't have it with me at the moment) the bottom shelf has a weight limit of 40 lbs and the upper shelves have a weight limit of 20-25 lbs, which in my opinion isn't much, considering that this is a BOOKCASE, and even just a few hardcover books, especially heavy textbooks, could easily amount to, or even EXCEED the 20-25 lb weight limit. In my opinion, by being a bookcase, its shelves should be able to accommodate more weight than just 20-25 lbs, Also, I don't know if I just got a "bad" one, but the back panel on the bookcase I got, was NOT wide enough to cover all the edges of the sides and top & bottom. Thus, some areas were not reached equally the back panel to be nailed in (to the 4 sides on the back of the bookcase) but since I was in a time crunch and couldn't wait for a new bookcase to be delivered, I had to just find a way to use it as is. so I tried to pull the back-panel as close as I could so that it reached all 4 edges and then nailed it in as best I could. In some areas, because the back-panel was so close to the edge, the nail went through BOTH while being hammered in, and ended up cracking a piece out of the side(s) or whatever of the bookcase. But like I said, because I was short on time, I just made do — and nailed extra nails in & around the deeper areas to secure the back panel to the 4 sides of the bookcase, and then fixed/filled in the cracks with Gorilla Glue and pushed the bookcase up against the wall to make it more secure, and stacked some modular storage cubes (Foremost Open Cube Storage and Foremost Door Cube Storage) next to it, to hide any cracks that may be visible and it seems to be okay now. But it would have been better if the back panel had been wider and longer so that it evenly covered all 4 sides. But other than that, I'm pretty satisfied with this bookcase overall. I put it in a room adjacent to the kitchen, which used to be the dining room (a formal dining room) but has not been used as such in years, and rather, has become more like a den, with a sofa (actually a sofa with a pull-out bed) and a TV. I actually put this bookcase up against the wall next to an entrance to the kitchen, and given that, I've put all my cookbooks on the 1st shelf of the bookcase (as can be seen in the photos) to have it right at my fingertips from the kitchen. I put my special china that I use for holidays (like Thanksgiving & Christmas) and other special occasions, which is in storage cases, on the 2 lowest shelves of the bookcases (they didn't all fit on the lowest shelf) because those seemed the sturdiest and as if they could bear the most weight. I also put lighter-weight, mostly paperback books on these shelves too — and I like having my books neatly stored on bookshelves instead of spread out all over my bedroom & bed, and elsewhere. In fact if I can figure out where to put it that it would fit, without blocking windows or other things, I'm considering getting ANOTHER one of these bookcases! Because alll in all, this is a pretty good bookcase for the $36 or $38 I paid for it. I wouldn't have paid much more than that for it — its not worth paying more than $50 or so for. But for the price I did pay, its a decent, basic. good-looking relatively-sturdy (just make sure you put it up against a wall for extra security) oak bookcase, and I'm mostly happy with it. ★☆★☆ 4 STARS!!!!

I took so long to actually buy this product (and to be honest I actually ordered it from another site first, then the price went down here so I bought 2 more from Amazon!) because of mixed reviews here and on other sites. I've had other products from Sauder in the past and I've never been disappointed, but some products have been a little better than others. This is one of the best, and for the price ($30 at the time when I bought 2 of these), it simply can't be beat. Pros: 1) Nice, dark wood color. I'm sure the other colors are good too, but I ordered the Cinnamon Cherry). It looks great! 2) Easy to put together - alone, it took me about 10 minutes total from unboxing to starting to put items onto it. 3) To go along with #2 above, this piece uses regular screws and NOT hex screws where you have to break your fingers trying to turn that little crappy key everyone gives you. I love that. 4) It's solid - although not actual pieces of wood per se, it's built well and not cheaply. Built to last, heavy but not overly so. Cons: 1) The top piece doesn't have the wood grain on both sides like the shelves do. The expectation is that it's a 3-shelf unit so they don't think people would see it, but I have these on top of a credenza to organize things at my very large desk and I can see them. Just would have been nice to have one more layer of the pattern on that piece. 2) This is being super picky, I know, but it would be nice if the screw covers (that match the wood grain) were the plug-in plastic kind instead of the stickers. I just prefer the plastic ones but this really isn't a big deal. As I bought 2 more after seeing how good the first one was, obviously I recommend this if you are looking for a quality yet inexpensive bookshelf. -D

Sauder has been my go-to brand for cheap well made bookcases. The cats has been sitting on the top shelf with no kitty scratch marks; it seems to be rather scratch resistant. The bookcase fits well in the small space in the walk-in-closet. I keep all my crochet books on the 3 sturdy shelfs with no fear of shelf collapse. My husband had no problems putting this cute bookcase together, because the instructions were easy to follow.

Well I didn't have high expectations for this piece, given the price. I just needed something to shelve some manuals, etc. NOT impressed. I've bought Sauder products before and they can do better than this. Pros: Inexpensive, precision cut, packaged very well to prevent shipping damage, easy assembly with provided hardware and instructions, looks OK if you don't look closely. Cons: Cardboard backer is garbage. It tears just flattening to install. Laminate finish chips, scratches ridiculously easily. Silly stickers provided to cover screw holes look bad and don't adhere well at all. Constructed from particle board, as expected, but know that it is easily broken compared to real wood. Just installing the shelves ripped the backer cardboard off through the provided nails. OK, I could have been a little more careful but how was this going to work for books bumping on/off the shelves? No way! So, I got out the HD staple gun and went at it, then covered all seams with Gorilla Tape. It may help, who knows. The better solution would be to use a real wood backing/bracing here. Also be VERY careful nailing the lousy cardboard as any miss protruding through the surface splits the area up pretty bad and looks even worse. Cheap furniture has it's place but Sauder could produce a better product here for a few more pennies. My recommendation- Accept the challenges with this low quality product and be prepared to improve this piece as you assemble it and understand that this bookcase will not withstand any harsh usage or much moving around at all. It is a 'throw away' in the long run ...OR... Spend a few more dollars and buy a better bookcase from another manufacturer.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I purchased this cherry bookshelf to place it inside a large armoire where the previous owner had built some shelves. This was the perfect height and width, as well as finish, to use inside the armoire where I have no plans to place a television. The assembly was very easy. All the holes matched up and I was able to use just basic hand tools. Unit is very sturdy and well made, something I expect from Sauder. The shelf pegs are metal. All that I would change about the bookshelves in general is perhaps deeper shelves.
