Sauder Orchard Hill Library

It took some time to assemble, more than 2 hours. Especially, if you are alone, it is tough--but doable. I did it by myself. However, if you can find a helper, that will help greatly. The fully assembled unit is quite heavy. You have to erect it from the laydown position after the full assembly. One regular size guy can do it, but maybe not a 5 ft woman.

I really need one more of these, but I am a little reluctent when I think of the sweat I had to shed when assembling the first one. But after everything is assembled, it is a beautiful, sturdy bookshelf. Very elegant. Great match to my elegant APT !

We have owned this bookcase for over 15 years, and it has stood the test of time. We overload the shelves, pile things on top, have hauled it to 3 different homes, and it has held up very well.

We are planning to buy two more units -the matching ones with cabinet doors on the bottom to make a library set -filling up a wall with bookcases. For the money, this is a great, durable product. Of course, it ISN'T "real" wood, so if that is what you want, go ahead and spend the money. This, however, looks great and holds up very well. Great bargain and long-term solution.

The Carolina Oak finish is a much darker brown color than pictured on the main Amazon page! See the smaller inset picture for the true color. Buyer beware!

I own two of these bookshelves. Sandwitched in between is this one with doors: Orchard Hills 2-Door Library Bookcase Carolina Oak. The bookshlef is sturdy with one fixed shelf and three adjustable shelves. The bookshelves are heavy, so it helps to have two people assemble, although I did it myself. The entire process requires a hammer, a screwdriver, and about 2 hours. It looks beautiful when finished. I have had my bookshelves for over 10 years and they are still in great shape with no warping or sagging of the sides or shelves. They can be attached to a wall stud with accompaning hardware if small children are in the home. This is a very good idea, as kids may try to climb the shelves and perhaps pull the entire bookshelf down atop themselves. The shelves can be adjusted to variable heights. I like this feature.

The oak veneeer is durable but does not tolerate standing water, so don't put a beverage on the shelf without a cup protector.

Bought two of these bookcases with the Library bookcase in between. Must say they look great for not a lot of money. wanted them for our Kid's play room/ office area. Fit and finish is good and when fully assembled, all 3 pieces look like a single unit.
