Personally, I have purchased 6 of these shelves..several from Sam's club,

then when Sam's ran out of stock locally I started purchasing them here on Amazon.

These shelves are the type that you knock together, with buttons and keyholes.

You can position the shelves in several different configurations...tall like a bookcase or wide like an entertainment center, and can choose flush shelves or shallow shelves.

I prefer to make mine shallow, they hold books easily without bookends.

The shelves themselves are made of steel, with rather flimsy board inserts, but I find that they hold very well.

It does take 2 people to start assembling the shelves unless you can clamp it somehow, but it gets easier as you go up.

It was easy to put together--until you got to adding the top 2 shelves. Ideally 2 persons assembling would have been better, one alone is a challenge because you have to balance and hold the components. The mechanism to assemble is easy, a modified tongue and groove concept, but you have to be aware that it can come apart just as easily.
