Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I recently purchased three of these bookcases in the cherry finish. For the price, these are the most attractive bookcases I've seen. The clean lines have a simple, elegant, de-cluttered look, without being too plain. The legs at the bottom are a very nice touch. They seem to be good quality.
All the parts were there - no missing pieces. There were even a few extra small parts included.
The instructions are very thorough and clear, in English, with both written instructions and pictures showing each step. Most of the parts are put together with locking cam bolts, so once you figure out how to put the cam locks together, you will just breeze through the rest of the installation.
The hardest part was attaching the back panel to the case. The instructions say to screw it in place instead of the small nails I usually see used. This probably makes it more sturdy, but it does take time if you don't have a cordless screwdriver.
But my favorite part of this product was the divided packaging of the small parts. The small parts came in their own separate packages - "Open this for step 1, this for step 2, etc." That was WONDERFUL because I had everything I needed for each step, without having to sort and count out all the parts. What a time saver! And I knew that I needed to use every part before I went on to the next step.
I would advise attaching these bookcases to the wall if possible. They do seem to sway front and back more than my other shelves - maybe because of the decorative legs at the bottom. They will be safer attached to the wall. And I also glued mine together as I was assembling each piece - for added strength.
I think it took me about two hours to put each bookcase together. Not bad for someone who doesn't do this very often. If you like the look of these bookshelves, then give them a try. The price is good, the quality is good, and the assembly is fairly easy as well.
