Casual Metal Bookcase

After buying a real oak glass-enclosed bookcase for $1100 a long time ago, I decided later that there are better ways to spend this kind of money than on something that simply holds my books in place. I bought two of these, one for DVD's/VHS' and one for books and they are great. The best thing about them is that it's very easy to assemble; hard to mess up, and even if you do, you can easily take everything apart again. This is in contrast to certain other non-assembled items that have permanent screws which don't come out once you put them in. Unless you are making six figures and have a great house with top of the line furniture, don't bother with any other bookcase.

very rugged, easy to put together Put it in my kitchen for cook books and utensils.

Easy to assemble, lightweight to move but very sturdy, good small size for tucking into an unused spot (small bedroom hallway in my case). Unobtrusive as far as decor. Just put heavier items on the bottom shelf so it won't tip over!

Because the Amazon price was so low, I wasn't expecting top quality but this is one well-designed product. It was super easy to assemble, is lightweight yet sturdy and looks pretty good as well. For the price, this was a real bargain.

The bookcase was easily assembled. It is not bulky. All of the space occupied by the bookcase is essentially available for book storage. I resisted saying "I love it." Even though it is highly functional at the five star level and well worth the cost, it is not a showpiece.

Safavieh American Home Collection Wyndham Etegere, Medium Oak

This item was missing the screws in the first shipment, so we couldn't put it together. Amazon was great about shipping us another one. After we assembled it, it was 'wobbly'. So we ended up returning it.

Homelegance Benton Desk and Chair Set, Cherry Finish

The size is ideal for a small corner, however, the box was delivered damaged and all the hardware to assemble both the desk and the chair was missing. The box contained very little information on contacting the desk manufacturer to obtain missing pieces/hardware.

The desk is nice once put together BUT!!!! IF my husband wasn't here to put it together (who has the patience of Job), it would have ended up in the trash because the packaging literally fell apart and could not have been used to ship back. There is a little damage from shipping but not noticeable once we placed it in the corner. The wood is decent and I like the fact that the chair matches. If assembly had not been next to impossible for myself I would have rated it a 5 star for the finished product.

Regalia Glass Shelf in Weathered Brass

I needed something less obvious in my bathroom. This is long enough to hold all my products, one line only, so it doesn't look so messy. It is 2ft long. It was a pain to put up, but once that was done I really liked it. I used my own drywall anchors, not the set that came with the hardware. Rather than messing around with a level, I use regular tape and run it from one screw point to the other and draw a dot on each end where I need the anchors to go. Then I put it on the wall and level it out. MUCH easier to move a piece of tape than drill 9 different holes in 3 different ares before you get it even.

Montego 2 shelf Bookcase

I bought this to replace my cheap laminate particle board bookcases. This solid wood construction seems to be holding up a lot better than the cheap kind, and it looks great!

I recently took on the project of sprucing up my daughter's very small bedroom a little. I needed something that was not too big, not too small, white, and affordable to put her 24" TV, a fairly large boombox (my old one) and other various items on. After searching multiple options (bookcases, console tables, TV stands, etc.), I decided on this based on the combination of its design, dimensions, color and price. I honestly don't think I could be happier with my choice! This bookcase not only met all my criteria, but exceeded my expectations.

This was pretty easy to assemble. It looks GREAT and fits PERFECTLY in my daughter's room. It was just right for our needs (and limited space). It's made of real wood, yet it's priced comparably to other items of lesser quality.

One bit of advice I could give is once you've assembled it, check its stability. If it seems a little wobbly, check all the assembled areas for tiny gaps. As we were assembling the bookshelf, the screws felt like they were tight. Once we were done, we noticed a few needed some additional tightening. This took care of the "wobblies" Seems like it will be pretty sturdy for a while now.

This was the size I was searching for, decent quality, good price. Unfortunately it came w/o the hardware or instructions. Customer service did answer the phone and promptly emailed the instructions but what good do instructions do w/o the parts? I was told the connecting hardware might take 3 5 days but I asked if it could come sooner. The customer service rep said "I am supposed to say 3 5 days but it might only be one or two days." It took 5 days. I would have expected them to express ship/mail the parts since I expressed interest in getting them sooner.

my daughter wanted white shelves--couldn't find any that were taller than these that had decent reviews...she loves them and i had her use gorilla glue to put them together so they should be tough!

Tabletops Gallery Stax Living Kitchen Countertop Racks

Love the quality of this item. I actually ordered them for use in a bathroom and they are perfect. They are the perfect size and of a strong / sturdy construction, as well as easy to put together (my 12 year old daughter assembled them)!

I love this cute shelf. It is well made and can hold a lot of small items that might otherwise clutter your countertop. I use it to hold my teapot and tea related collection. Not sure why the review that I wrote for the corner Stax shelf and the rectangular Stax shelf keeps showing up interchangeably even though I have deleted and reposted. I posted photos of both and hope that provides usable information. Rectangular shelf is 17 1/2" long, 18 1/2" high with legs on and 9 1/2" deep. Corner shelf is 13" across, 18 1/2" with legs on and 9 1/2" deep.

Guidecraft 3 - shelf Bookcase

When I bought this but still hadn't received it I sent an e-mail to Guidecraft asking about the use of formaldehyde and off-gassing in this bookcase. This was their response:

"All Plywood have a small percent of formaldehyde in them, I have never had any complaints on this item for off-gassing. It does pass all ASTM F963 Safety standards. I hope this helps."

We recently received the box and it sat unopened in our living room for two weeks until my husband had an opportunity to put this together. We finally did this past weekend and it STANK! My husband was surprised I ordered this and I was surprised this smelled so awful based on the response I received. We plan on leaving it outside in the living room with the windows open during the day to allow it to stop smelling but am not sure when I will feel comfortable in putting this bookcase in my 2 1/2 year olds bedroom.

Otherwise, it's the perfect color, size, height and depth and nice looking as well.

I like how this shelf is hardwood (birch) plywood rather than laminate. I have another shelf by guidecraft so I took a chance and got this one even though there were no reviews. It's smooth and looks nice and is wonderfully affordable (I bought it on sale $108.45) compared to the price of solid wood bookcases. I expect it to be around in my house for a long time so I'm happy that I got something that looks good. Just a note, it says in the description that one shelf is adjustable, two fixed. I have no idea what they are talking about. They are all screwed in with no other options of where to put them. Considering I have wanted more shelving for years and I was happy with this (and it is still on sale) I have now ordered a second.

Palladia Bookcase with Doors

A very nice piece of furniture, however my husband and I came across some problems while assembling. The pieces were missing some labels ,had to play the guessing game to figure out what went where. Because of that assembly took about 3 and 1/2 hours. I was also disappointed that the furniture arrived with some scratches. We will try to use a wood scratch concealer and see what happens. Overall I really do not regret buying this bookcase. The finish product turned out very nice. Beautiful color, matched with the rest of the furnitures in my family room very nicely.

I bought this and it was delivered on time. The packing was damaged on one corner. When I opened it up, one piece of molding was damaged. I called customer support and they shipped a replacement. 2 day delivery. I assembled it by carefully reading the directions. Very well done. Drawing and labels were very helpful, pointing out ways to be sure you were assembling it correctly. The design and engineering makes this a great value. Looks great.

I needed a bookcase to fill the room and match the other cherry furniture. This one looks great in the house. The pictures are accurate on the coloring. It is kinda a pain to put together, it took about 2 hours solo.

Walnut Five-tier Leaning Ladder Book Shelf

• Stay organized and display your treasures in style with a chic shelf
• Shelf features five tiers
• Beadboard style shelves
• Solid wood in walnut brown finish
• Assembly Required

This book shelf is great. It's such a great price for what you get. I got the dark finish and it matches my "espresso" furniture well. Very easy to put together. It says you need two people to do it but I'm 5' and I did it by myself no issues. I don't plan on putting a lot of heavy stuff on it but it feels sturdy and the extra leg in the back (which is well hidden) adds an extra comfort to its structure. Would definately recomend to a friend.

This is very easy to put together, and it's well-constructed. I was a little leery of the shelves being unstable because they are only attached by a single screw on each side, but they behave like they're supposed to.

The wood is nice with a solid finish. I have purchased pieces similar to this in the past, and the wood is mostly reclaimed, beat-up looking stuff with patchy stain/finish. Not true here. Very happy with this.

The bookcase is nice looking, nice wood , good shelf depth, but is not stable. The connection between the top and bottom did not fit tightly, the under bottom wood stabilizer piece is fragile and broke off ( really needs another system), without this the bottom shelf leans backwards. It comes with two strips of cloth to anchor into the wall to keep it from falling over... all I can imagine is that it slips downward and there goes a piece of my wall.

Colour and size matched description. It was easy to put together I did it alone. Several of the railings on the shelves were loose however easy to fix. Like the look and happy with the purchase.

Ever Concept Heavy Duty 2-Tier 24-Inch H by 36-Inch W Stackable Shelf

Traditional design, very sturdy metal shelf. Upon receipt the box looked like it had gone 8 rounds or so with a heavy weight boxer. The unit inside was totally intact with even the bag of parts remaining in what was left of the box.

Seems right for for garage / basement / laundry room / etc. It has a very neat appearance verse some of the other shelving at about the same price.

It includes two light plastic shelf liners, which is very helpful if like me you will have material on it that could rust the metal. It has hard rubber legs to get the metal off the floor. Simple to assemble or re-assemble as the shelves hang onto the side bars. It reminds me of the metal shelving you could buy years ago.

The only unknown, I just purchased the item through Amazon (July 2012) so it is hard to say how the finish will hold up over time. It looks like it will.

ECR4Kids Tiered Plastic Storage Organizer with Bins

This is a very nice organizer. Very sturdy and well made pieces. It was really easy to put together, no tools needed. The bins were a little smaller than I thought and only hold small toys, but with so many bins it holds a lot. Would buy again.

I LOVE these bins. THey are a perfect size for my 2 yo. He can reach all the bins and they frame is really sturdy. I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because when it arrived the plastic around one of the poles was damaged. I put it together anyway, and it seemed fine, so I left it. Overall, am very pleased with the quality and look of these.

Vantage Light Dragonwood Storage Cabinet Light Dragonwood

This cabinet is just what I hoped it would begood looking without being a show-off, it fits in the corner of my living room/office behind my desk and provides discrete storage for notebooks, office supplies. I can keep the desk surface uncluttered and have all I need nearby and easily accessible. The adjustable shelves and drawer all work well. The frosted glass door creates an open feeling without showing the details on all the notebooks stashed inside.

It took 2 of us 90 minutes to put it togetherthe diagrams were quite clear, all the pieces were there, it only required simple tools.

My cabinet looks darker than the one pictured, more brown than golden, but my furniture is varied, so it fits fine with the things I have.

For the price, it looks good and as long as we don't have to move it much, I expect it will hold up quite well.
