Altra Bookcase with Sliding Glass Doors - White

This bookcase arrived by UPS in absolutely perfect shape during the given time window. For several days prior to delivery UPS said they hadn't picked it up yet. On delivery day I didn't check, thinking that it would surely be a few more days. However I heard the truck outside and surprise! It was here. The UPS man brought it into my house for me.

My friend is a manufacturing engineer and he volunteered to assemble it for me. He found it quick and simple to assemble. He used the screwdriver attachment for his electric drill, and said that made assembly much easier and that it would have taken longer with a manual screwdriver. I think it took him about an hour and a half (though I had unpacked everything before he started). The doors slide very smoothly but he had to work on one of them a little because it wasn't straight (it closed leaving a bigger gap at the top than the bottom). That was the only difficulty with assembly and it wasn't much.

The only negative I can think of is that the instructions specify that the shelves can only hold 30 pounds or else they will bend. I expected this, but wish that this had been revealed in the amazon description rather than only revealed upon receiving the product. Anyway, if you have heavy books you might want to weigh them. I put my heaviest books on the bottom (which can hold 60 pounds), and put paperbacks and lighter books on the shelves above. I fit almost 4 boxes of books in this bookcase. It held more than I expected, and I am pleased. I plan to order another to use as an extra cabinet in my kitchen.

I've been searching for just the right bookcase for my new home. I knew what I wanted, just had to find it. (I can't believe how expensive bookcases are!) This bookcase had the look I was going for but I was afraid to order it, thinking it would be cheap quality. However after more searching, and not willing to pay the higher prices, I ordered this bookcase. I am very satisfied with the quality. It is very nice and sturdy. It took a little longer than I anticipated putting it together, but it wasn't hard. It is an attractive piece and I recommend it to anyone.

This is a very nice piece of furniture. Not as tall as I had expected, but even better looking than the picture. The doors slide smoothly and the finish is good. It holds more than you would think.

Wish I could afford another one.

Received this order today and was disappointed with the fact that there was damage to 3 items in the box. I contacted Ameriwood using the number on the front of the product manual, they informed me that the product is imported and it would take 6-8 weeks for the replacement parts to come in.

The customer service rep informed me that they could not provide any further assistance and I would need to contact the seller. Boxing up an 86# bookcase and returning it to UPS is not a project I would like to take on. The book case itself is very nice and would have made a nice addition to our room. I would advise shopping at a brick and mortar store so you have the option to return the product if necessary.

Wow! For well under $200, this book case is fabulous! It arrived packaged very securely. No damage or missing parts. As someone who can't be trusted to assemble anything properly, I did have a capable friend put it together for me. He just took his time and followed the directions/used common sense. It took about an hour, but the finished product is sturdy and very attractive.
