Winsome Wood Foldable 4-Tier Shelf, Natural

I bought two of these shelves and am very pleased with them. They are attractive and sturdy, and the folding action works smoothly.

The packaging shows care -the shelves are individually wrapped to avoid any nicks during shipping and the small hardware is in its own box with a very clear inventory so that you can check that you have everything before you get started. There's a part replacement order form in case anything is left out of your shipment, but both of mine were complete. (These might seem like obvious precautions, but I've ordered lots of assemble-yourself furniture that wasn't nearly so well thought-out.)

Assembly is not too hard. The instructions suggest that you might want an extra pair of hands, but I found that if I leaned the side piece against the wall while I was installing cross-bars, I could put together the whole thing by myself with no tools or materials other than the ones included (and I am not an especially handy person). After the previous review, I was worried that the pieces might not be made precisely enough to fit together well, but I didn't have too much trouble there; following the directions and tightening the screws gradually I was able to get the whole thing to come together snugly.

I've loaded the finished shelves up with books (including some pretty heavy dictionaries and art books) and they're showing no bending or strain. I may buy more of these for other rooms.

The bookshelf arrived quickly, there were no missing pieces, and no additional tools were required. The wood pieces were in great shape. I am pregnant and put it together with ease due to the clear and concise instructions. The final product looks great in the baby's room. :-)

The shelf is nice. However, the "pre-drilled" holes were way to small for the screws the manufacturer supplied. If you try to use the hex wrench supplied without re-drilling the "pre-drilled" holes, both the hex wrench and the screw head will strip and you will have a problem since you can not at this point tighten down the parts. So if you buy this shelf make sure you have your drill out. Once you re-drill the holes it's a breeze.

It's an ok shelf but a little rough and not all that precisely made. A lot of fit and form issues. Otherwise, it was the right size for what I needed as a display shelf.

I normally do not write reviews however, after assembling this book shelf I thought I would caution potential buyers of some of the problems I encountered. It should be very easy to assemble but the holes predrilled were not large enough. They enclose a hex head wrench which is small and really can bruise your hand when trying to get the screws into the predrilled holes. I finally got out my drill and enlarged the holes to make it somewhat easier to assemble even then you need to use caution as to not make them too big. It is a nice piece of furniture but assembly is difficult only in that it is not drilled properly!
