Attractively finished, easy to assemble, solidly made. Even has wood grain tape circles to cover the screw heads, so you don't see them.The 24-inch width was a perfect fit for the space we had. I never knew how hard it is to find this size bookcase!

...could have been better. Stacking this case the way presented in the picture would have required a brace of some kind for the wall. I still didn't want to take a chance on the thing toppling over, I opted to keep both case sets side by side. Since there wasn't a top covering for the second book case (it was meant to be stacked), I had one cut for me at Lowes Hardware store from particle board. I'm going to stain it the same color as the book case. Apart from that, I'm pretty satisfied. The case holds all my books without a wooble. Be sure to properly secure the cardboard backing to the case with regularly placed nails (included) before you load on the books.....UPDATE! (8-30-2012):
Following up on my initial review, I decided to stack the book case after all. I placed some wood slats under the case for hard support on my carpet. It works! I didn't even have to bolt the top case to the wall or socket wrench the units together. The entire setup leans back slightly towards the wall, which is fine. There is no sliding or wobbling of the upper unit of shelves; the weight of the books adds stability. I now have more room...and don't I know it.

This bookcase came yesterday. Took about 30 minutes to put together. The back is cardboard, so you end up with a kind of funny looking back, but the manufacturer provides these great stickers to put over the nails and everything. Looks great from a few feet away. This case fit nearly my entire library from 4 years as a lit major in college (no small library) and seems very sturdy. My only concern is tipping, but a bracket for the wall was included, my drywall just isn't very sturdy and wouldn't hold. I put an extra book under the front side for added stability and that seems to be working great.Wednesday, May 28, 2014
Seville Classics 4-Shelf Dura Style Shelves with Wheels
If you're looking for a good, sturdy, attractive shelving unit, this is a great option. I put it together myself and did not have to hammer any of the shelves. I'm not saying it was easyit got a bit frustrating at moments but it was certainly do-able and worth the extra effort to have a really solid unit. Also, mine came with the option of either the wheel feet or regular feet if you do not want your shelf to roll.
Mine was missing one of the connector threads to screw the pole halves together but I called Seville Classics and they shipped out two of them to me the same day, no charge. I have generally preferred the Seville Classics metal shelves over a few Whitmor shelves of the same style. Good quality, reasonable effort, and they all look great!If you have ever assembled the old nut, bolt and braces metal shelves, you have known frustration. If you have ever tried to disassemble them, you have wanted a wrecking ball. The Seville 4-tier shelving unit is easy to assemble, easy to move, easy to disassemble, and facilitates storage and organization needs. I bought one 4-tier and 3 5-tier. I am entirely satisfied.

The description of this product indicates that each shelf holds 350 pounds (or 500 pounds, depending on which part of the description you read) and the photo clearly shows the NSF stamp on the shelving. However, the shelving that arrived is rated at 200 pounds/shelf and is not NSF certified. It wasn't a deal breaker, but I was a bit disappointed. (I chose this unit over another less expensive one because it was supposedly NSF certified.) The shelving went together easily and is of adequate quality. However, the wheels are difficult to lock.Read Best Reviews of Seville Classics 4-Shelf Dura Style Shelves with Wheels Here
If I could put the shelving together by myself, anyone can! No tools are needed, although a rubber mallet (which I had) would be helpful. The product is well-made, all the parts were in the box, and the directions are clear. I slightly mis-calculated the first shelf and it wasn't level and I wasn't sure how to undo it. I phoned the customer service number and got immediate advice. Start-to-finish, the shelves were all done in 35 minutes. If I needed more shelving, I would definitely buy this again.Want Seville Classics 4-Shelf Dura Style Shelves with Wheels Discount?
As stated by others, the model SHE15363 upon arrival does not bear NSF certification even though stated as such in the description. Not a minor detail if used in a food & beverage or medical work environment. Additionally I have found the NSF certification usually reflects a higher overall degree of quality in constuction and finish.Nevertheless I am satisfied with this model, and with wheels included the price was right. Used for storing tools it does just fine. Have assembled many metro style shelves and use them in home, garage and workshop. Strong enough to carry a lot of weight and with wheels a breeze to move. This one went together easily enough although it was a bit of a challenge to keep the plastic sleeves in place while the shelf was positioned. Used blue masking tape to hold sleeves in place until shelf was prepositioned, then removed tape before tapping in to place with a mallet. Overall a sturdy and attractive shelf and five stars for overall value.
Seville Classics and/or Amazon should clear up the product description regarding the NSF certification.

RiverRidge Kids Horizontal Bookcase
Buy RiverRidge Kids Horizontal Bookcase Now
Purchased this because the color matched our Nursery. It was not that easy to put together and relied a lot on wooden dowels to hold things together.It's sturdy enough, but will likely fail if moved around enough.
All in all, the price is decent and the furniture holds books.
Just not that great of a design.

I was very happy with my purchase. The bookcase is really sturdy and cute and fits perfectly in my 3 year old's bedroom. It's a smaller bookcase, but that's what we were looking for. Good value!This bookcase is horrible. The directions that came in the box were for a three shelf bookcase and we got the two shelf bookcase. The dowels were WAY too small. The finish scratched coming out of the box. It is extremely cheap quality. So save the money and do not get this bookcase, you are better off putting your money in a slot machine this way you can at least get a chance of hitting the jackpot.Wednesday, April 9, 2014

Altra Bookcase with Sliding Glass Doors - White
My friend is a manufacturing engineer and he volunteered to assemble it for me. He found it quick and simple to assemble. He used the screwdriver attachment for his electric drill, and said that made assembly much easier and that it would have taken longer with a manual screwdriver. I think it took him about an hour and a half (though I had unpacked everything before he started). The doors slide very smoothly but he had to work on one of them a little because it wasn't straight (it closed leaving a bigger gap at the top than the bottom). That was the only difficulty with assembly and it wasn't much.
The only negative I can think of is that the instructions specify that the shelves can only hold 30 pounds or else they will bend. I expected this, but wish that this had been revealed in the amazon description rather than only revealed upon receiving the product. Anyway, if you have heavy books you might want to weigh them. I put my heaviest books on the bottom (which can hold 60 pounds), and put paperbacks and lighter books on the shelves above. I fit almost 4 boxes of books in this bookcase. It held more than I expected, and I am pleased. I plan to order another to use as an extra cabinet in my kitchen.I've been searching for just the right bookcase for my new home. I knew what I wanted, just had to find it. (I can't believe how expensive bookcases are!) This bookcase had the look I was going for but I was afraid to order it, thinking it would be cheap quality. However after more searching, and not willing to pay the higher prices, I ordered this bookcase. I am very satisfied with the quality. It is very nice and sturdy. It took a little longer than I anticipated putting it together, but it wasn't hard. It is an attractive piece and I recommend it to anyone.

This is a very nice piece of furniture. Not as tall as I had expected, but even better looking than the picture. The doors slide smoothly and the finish is good. It holds more than you would think.Wish I could afford another one.

Received this order today and was disappointed with the fact that there was damage to 3 items in the box. I contacted Ameriwood using the number on the front of the product manual, they informed me that the product is imported and it would take 6-8 weeks for the replacement parts to come in.The customer service rep informed me that they could not provide any further assistance and I would need to contact the seller. Boxing up an 86# bookcase and returning it to UPS is not a project I would like to take on. The book case itself is very nice and would have made a nice addition to our room. I would advise shopping at a brick and mortar store so you have the option to return the product if necessary.

Wow! For well under $200, this book case is fabulous! It arrived packaged very securely. No damage or missing parts. As someone who can't be trusted to assemble anything properly, I did have a capable friend put it together for me. He just took his time and followed the directions/used common sense. It took about an hour, but the finished product is sturdy and very attractive.Wednesday, October 16, 2013

CRL Aluminum Finish Cable Shelf Bracket System for 3/8" to 1/2" Shelves
I love this product. I have used it in 3 of our 5 bathrooms. However, in my opinion the secret is to use 1/2 inch glass shelves. These are rather expensive but make a statement. When using the thick glass shelves the items on the shelves are almost unimportant. I have also given this item as gifts to friends and family.

This is a great product idea, and the actual brackets are very nice.I had two problems with this product. First, it comes with little rubber sticky things to step the size of the bracket down to a smaller shelf. They would be great, but I only got 7 instead of 8 rubber sticky things. -1 star.
The other problem is the hardware they ship with is JUNK! The screw heads I received are the softest I've used in awhile, and almost immediately stripped. Then I had to drill out the screw and replace it with a drywall screw which I had around, which make the installation take a really long time. -1 Star
Besides these two glaring problems, this is a great product. I like the way it looks, and my kitchen shelf is up with three appliances on it, and it hasn't fallen down yet... ;)
