I needed sturdy, tall bookcases that were about 24" wide for my study. I ordered 3 of these, although not from Amazon. The man who delivered them for a freight company was clearly furious about the weight, was extremely rough with the delivery breaking the pallet on which the boxes were resting and damaging the back panel in the bottom box. Also, that box has one fewer shelf peg than it was suppose too. Maybe Safco will replace it, but the company I ordered it from cannot.The shelves themselves are about what I expected, laminate over particle board or some such material. Any screw going into the laminate tears or ripples the laminate a little. The instructions are all pictorial with no words causing confusion to this assembler who has never seen a cam screw before. But, the assembly after the first one went much faster since I had learned all the tricks (for instance, when a cam screw won't turn to lock into place, pushing the pieces together might not work but pulling them apart *slightly* often does.)
I might well have spent more money to buy nicer shelves if I could have found them. But a trip to every furniture store in town turned up no tall, sturdy shelving 24" wide. These definitely serve my needs and, if I can obtain the last shelf peg, will definitely have been worth the hassle, even though a couple more phone calls are in order (to Safco for the peg and to the freight company to complain about the driver if they can't handle freight this heavy, why do they accept it?)
It was relatively easy to assemble which was good because we were missing a key page of the instructions.
But the shelf unit is up, fits in with the decor of the Library, and is serving us well.

I searched high and low for a small item to store my kids craft items that would fit into a small space between our chimney and wall and this worked out perfectly! It wasn't too dreadful to put together..me and my husband did this. Very sturdy, I am sure we will still be using this for other items when we are done using it for crafts. Pretty sure it's a permanent fixture now. It really has been the prefect thing for us and I know I couldn't have found anything better for what we needed. SO glad we found it. My only complaint is that I didn't like having to set up a delivery time for the company to deliver it (they gave me the time of between 10 and 3) but they delivery people were SUPER friendly and ended up working with me to drop it off without someone present, I just had to leave a note with my signature. I also like having so many shelves and all but one is easily moved or removed to make larger or smaller spaces between shelves. Just love it.Very nice quality and very solid. Easy to assemble with all holes aligning. Just follow the instructions. The color is also nice and dark.
