Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We got two of the open shelf and three of the library. These looked great when put together, but there are some things you should consider:
1.) This is press board furniture, and it is cheap. It will warp in time, and is heavier than wood furniture.
2.) The veneer is paper, and it is fragile - it scrapes off easily.
3.) The pieces don't fit together well, and some had to be sanded to fit. The connectors are plastic and fragile.
4.) The stability is based on the paper backing holding the unit together. We put L brackets in the top and bottom to stabilize it.
5.) You can only put 25 pounds on each shelf. That's not many books.
6.) The shipping is expensive, because it is so heavy.
7.) It takes time to put them together, but is easy. You need two people to do it.
8.) Check each piece carefully for cracks prior to assembly. We found several in the long pieces, and it wasn't until they were being assembled. Go directly to Sauder for replacement.
If you are looking for something to look impressive but not be a sturdy, long-lasting item - buy this. As for the economy right now - I don't see why we should buy expensive furniture - so this is perfect.
