Lots of storage for books. Overall instruction manual was easy to follow. Seems pretty sturdy after attaching to the wall. Some of the screw holes weren’t completely drilled but we were able to make it work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the bookcase style because it is staggered. It`s also heavy duty I have kids books on it. Putting it together at first went smoothly until the middle section. I hit a snag called my neighbor he fixed it immediately I just didn`t read the instructions completely. I like the design a lot. Thinking of getting another to flack fireplace.

It’s a super low quality shelf but it does the job and is sturdy.

This unit is very well built and sturdy. The legs lift it off the floor to make it easy to clean the floor under it. The back instead of being thin cardboard as is the case in so many Flat Pack shelving units is the same material as the rest of the shelf construction. (3/4 inch Particle Board). The sale price was also very good and delivery was quick.

When putting it together I sometimes mixed up the direction the boards should sit so putting it together was time-consuming and a two-person job. When I tried to pull apart a piece that I put together wrong the particleboard around the peg broke. I Super glued the peg back in place and the bookshelf is sturdy.

This is really for picture frames and knickknacks. The shelves can’t hold the weight when filled with books or papers. Very disappointing. It’s a bad design with not enough support for the shelves.

This set of shelves is everything it was advertised to be and worth the time it will take you to put it together (unless you're a handy man which I am not) The shelves have space for everything you want to store while beautifying your office or living room.
