South Shore Libra Collection 3-Drawer Chest, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the three pieces I bought from this collection and I was very happy with the price and quality. Of course it is not high end furniture but it is durable enough for my 8 year old son. This particular piece has very roomy, smooth drawers. Also, I love the modern look and semi-glossy finish.

Legare 59-Inch-by-18-Inch Bookcase, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)sturdy and well made. A little tough to put together. Although it requires no tools, you sort of need two people because the pieces set together and then stay that way from pressure, but only once it is standing up.

Disney Princess Book and Toy Organizer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like how this one has two functions, the top section for books and the bottom section for toys; However, the bins at the bottom do not allow easy access to their contents; you have to pull them out completely to get to the contents, and my 2-yr-old does not know how to put it back afterwards; these bins are supposed to allow kids to easily take out their toys and put them back when done, this one (with the pulling of the bins in and out) may more suitable for older kids.

Chocolate Finish Compact Computer Desk Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, I bought 2 of these. We wanted matching desks for my husband and I in the living room. We paid around $89 each in January 2011. When first removing the parts, I thought we had a great desk, the wood is a little thicker than other desks made this way. I was a little disappointed by the plastic dowels that help hold the pieces together. Most manufactuers use wooden dowels. I was also disappointed with the plastic drawer slides on the drawer. These are 100% plastic with plastic tabs that you lightly hammer into the wood. Each piece (there are 4, 2 on the desk and 2 on the drawer) only has 1 screw to help hold it in place. You tap in these plastic pieces about 1/2 way though the construction, by the time I got to the very end to put the drawer into the desk, these had popped out about 1/2 way, so I had to grab the hammer and tap them back in in order to get the drawer into place. My biggest disappointment would be that nice shelf that runs along the back of the whole desk. This DOES NOT screw down at all. It has 4 of the above mentioned plastic dowels and basically sits right on top of the desk. There are very shallow holes on the top of the desk for the plastic dowels to sit into. You can very easily knock the entire thing off. This would explain why they don't show the monitor on that shelf in the pictures.... I'm not sure why they designed it this way, there is ample room for them to install some cam locks and screws and attach it to the desk more securely. Also, be sure to check your pieces, one desk was missing 2 cam locks, the other was missing 3!
As far as the instructions go, some pieces were not marked as other reviewers have said. Also, it does not tell you which way to have the finished edge facing, so you're not putting things on backwards, when applicaple. You need to pay attention to that. Othewise, I didn't feel that the instructions were hard to understand. I put together both desks while making dinner, took about 2 hours in all. I will be posting pictures soon with the above mentioned problems. You'll be able to see then from the product page, where the manufactuer pictures are. Aside from the shelf not being attached to the desk more securely, I really like these desks. The color is great, mine came very well packaged, no damage at all.
Follow up: April 2011. We've had these desks for a few months now and both hold up very well. We do have our monitors on the small shelf I mentioned above and it has not, as of yet, fallen down. We have both desks back to back, so there really is no way to accidentally hit the shelf and cause it to fall, like I feared would happen. All together a very nice little desk.

Alera Narrow Profile Bookcase, Finished Back, Wood Veneer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like this shelf a lot. It is a great buy. The bookcase is very sturdy and can support a whole bunch of books. It looks good too. I bought 2 of them. I was very happy with free shipping. The shelves were delivered to my apartment in 3 days after completion of my order. No missing or damaged parts. Very easy to assemble. I would buy another one like that and I would definitely recommend this product to others. If you look for something good and sturdy then it is for you. Each shelf can hold up to 90 lb.

ORE International R597-5 Five Tier Metal Book Rack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Shelf was very easy to put together--no tools other than the supplied allen wrench required. It took me maybe 15 minutes to put it together. It's very strudy and was a great replacement for a wooden shelf I bought a few years ago which broke. Glad I went with the metal. The only complaint I have is the back support bars make it impossible to stack books on their backs without one jutting forward.
