Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is my first review on Amazon, and I am playing into my own theory that only people who are disappointed write reviews, but this product is so poorly made that I couldn't sleep until I warned others. There are 2 screw-dowels that broke while screwing them in, cutting my hand....so I do admit I put the rest of it together a bit cautiously and with a band-aid on my hand....
The bookshelf is made very cheaply, and I'll have to reinforce the bottom shelf with another glued member from underneath in order to set anything on it. The wooden dowels that they "pre-installed" were not in all the way and popped the wood veneer off the finished side during assembly. I had to glue the veneer back on. It also did not come with any stickers to cover the screw heads, and they are VERY noticeable after installation. I had to use black electrical tape that I cut around a penny that semi-matches the black finish.
The furniture came with no paperwork other than the 2 page instructions of assembly. No company name on the box. Although the box did come with a 1-800 number to call if any parts were missing or defective....go figure, the line has been busy every time I called.
Thank God for Liquid Nails, Band-Aids, and a sense of humor. My wife and I laughed more while putting this piece of junk together than we have in a while....we were just amazed every step of the way on how we got screwed.
That being said, it does look nice from across the room. I am just not sure how sturdy it is....I guess time will tell, and we may be in for some more laughs.
