Poundex 5-Tier Leaning Wall Shelf, Cappuccino

The shelves are reasonably sturdy given the design, yet light. I bought two to hold my books, each holds between 130-140 books. It should be noted that these are solid wood, not flimsy, and not particle board. These are said to be cappuccino colored, but that's not accurate at all. They are very dark brown, espresso would be closer to the actual color.

Set up was a snap, all you need is a phillips-head screwdriver. I'm not what you would call handy, but I put the first one together in about 40 minutes, and the second in 15.

Overall, I'm happy with the shelves. The only problem I have is that one of the shelves wobbles and there's no way to possibly adjust anything to fix it, as the last step of set up is running a wood screw through dowels. This last step does not allow for any adjustments once completed.

Similar items on the market are a sturdier, wider, have thicker side rails and larger shelves. However, those items also begin at twice the price of this one. It was easy to put together and comes with everthing you need, including the wood glue for the dowels. It is very functional for my purposes. I'm using it in my living room for decorative accents, a few books, and framed pictures. Not sure how it would stand up if used strictly for books. (If planning to use in an office or library mainly for books, definitely choose one of the more expensive models. Crate and Barrel and Value City Furniture have affordable options if you are looking for something that needs to hold a great deal of weight.) But if looking for a stylish piece to add some decorative elements to any room, save yourself some money and get this one. This is a nice choice at a good price.

I saw a shelf exactly like this in Pier 1 for almost $200. I was thrilled to find this one at a great price. It was very easy to put together. I do not think I would overload it, but it holds plenty of photos, vases, candles, plants, etc. The color is a nice dark espresso (not sure capuccino is the right description). It was a perfect addition to a bare wall. I will be getting another one for my home office. Excellent!

When the package arrived at my house, I could tell by the smell that we were going to have a problem before I brought it in the house. Luckily I did, b/c when I opened it outside, the box was full of stink bugs. Mostly squished stink bugs.

They were between the box and the packaging so it did not damage the shelf.

It was fairly easy to put the shelf together. It probably took me an hour by myself.

I have 2 complaints with the shelf. The first one is that the 2nd and 3rd shelves from the bottom always come loose and slant. I look at it and wonder if my eyes are playing tricks on me, but I can easily move them with my hand. I have tightened the screws repeatedly and it always happens again. The other complaint is that the very top of the ladder is not smooth wood. You won't see this unless you are very tall, but when I clean the shelf, my rag gets caught on the rough wood.

I suggest a higher quality shelf or one that doesn't lean but is more triangular shaped so there is added support and the shelves are screwed in 2 places rather than 1.
