Description

The understood purpose and use of a wood bookcase is that it is a piece of furniture made for holding books. The 3-shelf bookcase from the Sauder Select collection is no different. What sets it apart from other bookcases is its beauty, with a unique, natural Laurel Oak® finish and handsome rough-hewn woodgrain. The rustic finish gives this living room bookcase a vintage farmhouse aesthetic, a look that can often be expensive to attain. The two adjustable shelves of this display bookcase provide plenty of room for storage and organization for tiny children's books, large reference books, or perhaps a collection of antique glassware, a vase full of flowers, or a stylish spot for your grandmother's recipe books. A smooth and sturdy surface provides the perfect spot for an accent lamp, too. With quick and easy assembly and slide- on moldings for a smooth and simple building process, this 3-shelf bookshelf is an economic way to combine farmhouse style with family-friendly function.

The reviews for the Sauder Bookcases present a mixed yet generally positive opinion. Some customers highlight the bookcases' sturdy build, easy assembly, and appealing look.

  • 👍 Seems sturdy and solid once assembled.
  • 👍 Assembly instructions are clear and intuitive for most.

Cons

Should I Buy It?

While the Sauder Bookcases have some quality and durability issues noted, the majority of customers found them satisfactory, with decent aesthetic appeal, straightforward assembly, and solid build.

  • Good Value
Color: Oiled Oak Finish
We purchased five of these bookcases from Amazon, two tall bookcases and three shorter bookcases, all in oiled oak finished. all arrived in perfect condition without any damage in shipping. The cartons were well packaged and complete with no missing parts or pieces. The core material of these bookcases is particle board with an attractive faux wood grain plastic material. One must be aware that there is no natural wood used in these bookcases and particle board is easily damaged and impossible to repair. Therefore, the boxes must be opened, the component parts removed and assembled with care. The assembly instructions are clear, concise and well illustrated. Assembly was straightforward and trouble free. The finished product is sturdy and attractive. One must be aware that the faux wood grain is a plastic material and if damaged cannot be restored. One must also be aware that the joinery is metal cams and metal pegs similar to IKEA products and must be moved with care. The assembled bookcases are heavy and awkward. They will not withstand abuse in moving and if the particle board-cam/peg joinery is damaged is cannot be repaired. If handled gently and carefully they make an attractive presentation and are a reasonable value. ... show more

  • Looks good and is a good value for the money
Color: Estate Black Finish
Looks good. There were no damaged or missing pieces. All pieces were clearly marked and the instructions were very good. The parts fit the pre-drilled holes -- I had no problems assembling this piece. The bookcase is stable on my floor. I am happy with this purchase. I have bought products from this manufacturer before and I haven't been sorry. Regarding purchases of particle board furniture: I felt this was a good purchase for my home office. I read a lot of reviews before deciding on what to buy and I think some people don't understand this material. Particle board is both heavier and WEAKER than solid wood. That is why it is so much less expensive than a solid wood bookshelf which could easily cost 3 times as much. This means the shelves will sag if you put too much weight on them, or if the weight is not EVENLY distributed across the width of the board. The manual for this bookcase indicates the following max weights top of bookcase 35 lbs adjustable shelves 25 lbs each bottom shelf 40 lbs You cannot load the shelf up with heavy stuff (including books) if you don't want the shelves to sag. Placing heavy books in the center of a 25-pound shelf will absolutely cause it to sag over time even if the books weigh less than 25 pounds because the weight is all in one place. If this is a problem, you should look for solid wood or something with metal supports under the shelves. There are youtube videos showing how some people have added solid wood framing around the particle board bookcases to strengthen them. (Not just sauder, but ikea and other manufacturer shelving -- they all have the same issues.) Personally at that point I would just pay the extra money for more expensive solid wood shelves but that's just me. Particle board does crack easily and can be damaged in shipping if the package gets dropped. The Sauder website has a link to reorder individual parts if something is missing/broken. I've been lucky and have not had to use the service. It's just a chance you take when you purchase this type of product. ... show more

  • Worth the Price
Color: Chalked Chestnut Finish
It's a good, solid little bookcase, just what I needed for my large photo albums. It was easy to put together and looks nice with everything in/on it. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it is not solid wood, but particle board. But it is heavy-duty board, not the cheap flimsy stuff. ... show more

  • very good book case
This is typical inexpensive furniture - particle board covered with printed paper. That said, it is good quality and the assembly instructions are excellent. First, it gives a detailed description of the parts and quantity. Each piece is identified with a letter or letter and number. The assembly instructions identify the pieces needed for each step and give a sketch of how the pieces go together. Heed the caution near the completion of assembly - carefully turn it over to attach the back panel because it is not rigid until the back panel is attached. There are 5 sets of holes for each shelf spaced at 1.25 ". The finished product looks good. This is the second unit that I bought. I would recommend this for anyone who has even the minimal handyman skills. ... show more
