3 Shelf Stackable Folding Bookcase - Walnut

I was very disappointed with this item, and it was the only product in many years of shopping at amazon that I had to return. I've bought more than 20 nearly identical bookcases from other sources, widely available on the web, made in Thailand. They require no assembly at all, just open and the shelves fall into place, and they are very sturdy. I ordered 6 of this slightly different product at a higher cost than average because I wanted them in a hurry, and amazon offered overnight shipping for something which usually takes two weeks to arrive. But this bookcase required two people more than an hour to assemble, none of the parts quite fit, and the one I did manage to assemble was wobbly, so I returned the other 5 (which took almost three weeks and many phone calls). It is a mystery that such a poorly designed product could survive the competition.

I was very pleased with my shelves. Easy to assemble, if you just follow the instructions. It may seem intuitive, but do yourself a favor and follow the instructions. They look great and are very sturdy. My only criticism is that the shelves are not walnut, but walnut veneer. My guess is that they are pine? If you read the product description in detail (I didn't) it does say "wood with walnut veneer." Muh. I still love them. (As a note, the system doesn't want me to add any tags to this product reviewd...that's Amazon for you!)

The Winsome Wood folding 3-tier bookcase used to be the best in its genre, and even beat the Apple Furniture version (now probably under some other manufacturer name: the type sold through Container Store). Now, this shelf is no longer crafted of beechwood. These used to be made of very beautifully articulated hardwood manufactured in Thailand and given excellent stains and laquer coats this was the case for over two decades. Now, they are produced in Vietnam of a light softwood without the tight grain, the stain job is amateur (sloppy) and there is no protective laquer coat. The underside of each shelf is no longer even sanded, and believe you me, this is obvious on the upper shelves if they are stacked two units high.

The overall result is something that looks okay only amongst furniture without a common "goal" or sense of arrangement, and then only so long as no weight is intended for the shelves. However, for those who are accustomed to the high expectations this company has created in the past decades, only disappointment will be had by units produced after 2010. My recent units were returned immediately.

While it says that these shelfs are stackable they are NOT! There are no provisions on the upper side of the shelf to stack another them on top of it, in fact, its rounded up there so its impossible (unless serious self-assembling takes place). Assembling the shelf itself is also not done, you have to do it yourself and it is cumbersome, took me ca. 45 to 60 minutes. You get what you pay for. Once assembled though it is a well functioning shelf, nothing wrong with that.
