I was looking for a very tall but narrow bookshelf, and this one fit the bill perfectly. The rustic brown shelves and black metal frame blend beautifully with my decor, and the quality honestly exceeded my expectations. It arrived well-packed and was quick and easy to assemble — I was able to do it myself in about 40 minutes (probably would’ve been closer to 30 if my two dogs and one curious cat hadn’t insisted on “helping”). The directions were clear, the parts were well-labeled, and everything fit together neatly. The finished shelf is tall, sturdy, and absolutely a bargain at this price. It even includes wall anchors for extra safety — a thoughtful touch if you have pets or live in earthquake country. I’ve only had it a few days so far, but I’m very impressed with how solid and attractive it is. I’ll update this review after I’ve loaded it up with books and plants, but my first impression is five stars all the way. Read more

We have been needing some bookcases to shelf some books and eliminate a lot of clutter in our home. I took a chance on this bookcase, and I’m glad I did. Unlike a lot of furniture items requiring assembly these days, this bookcase arrived well packaged against damage and with no missing parts. There are a lot of screws used to assemble this bookcase, and I was astounded to see that none were missing but that there were even an extra couple of screws in each size. No tools are needed for assembly other than the Allen wrench and small crescent wrench provided. Assembly is straightforward and can be accomplished by one person, although a helper would make it easier. One caveat to note is each of the metal sides of the bookcase is composed of three sections that fit together and secured with screws. Make sure that each section has the holes aligned in back because those holes are used to secure the cross struts in back. I didn’t notice this at first and had to spend an extra hour disassembling and reassembling the bookcase. I ordered three of these bookcases, and now that I know how they’re assembled properly, it will probably only take an hour each to assemble them. After assembling three of these bookcases, it’s worth noting their quality of manufacturing. All holes were drilled precisely, the threaded ones were tapped perfectly and have metal inserts to ensure proper fitting. No parts were missing or damaged, which is especially impressive given the large number of screws and nuts involved with assembly. I have ordered lots of furniture over the years that required assembly, but I have never had any that was manufactured and packaged as accurately as these bookcases. Once assembled, I was impressed with the stability of this bookcase despite its 7 foot height. Some hardware and drywall anchors are provided to secure the bookcase to the wall, but it seems plenty stable without this. As far as room goes, I was worried about fitting full-size hardback books on the shelves, but there is ample height even for taller books. I am very pleased. Overall, both my wife and I are extremely happy with this bookcase. It’s stylish, attractive, sturdy, and has a ton of bookshelf space. This bookcase is frequently discounted, but even at full price given the quality of manufacture it’s worth buying. Read more

I ordered this shelving unit yesterday at noon and it arrived by 3pm today. I am extremely happy with the quality of the piece and speed of shipping. The shelving unit is heavy duty and the shelves are beautiful and smooth. They secure to the frame and I appreciated that this unit has support on the sides and bottom for each shelf. Some other shelving units have shelves that only screw in from the side with no support underneath, and that just leaves possibility for bowing of the shelves over time and stress. Two things to note: 1) Everything other than the screws to secure the unit to the wall, are allen key screws. They do provide tools to put the entire unit together but it is A LOT of screws, which is great for stability, but will take time to assemble and tire out your fingers if you do it all by hand. 2) I highly recommend getting heavier duty drywall anchors, even if one screw for the safety bars can go into a stud. I provided a photo of the drywall anchors and screws set I recommend. If you plan to attach one of the sides of a safety bar to a stud, you will definitely want a longer screw than provided. Especially with the height and weight of this shelving unit, including the items you will have on it; you will want all the structural support you can get. Included are closer pictures of the unit with a lot of books on it. A picture of the room for perspective, with nine foot ceilings. And a picture of the drywall screws I recommend for securing this shelving unit to a wall. I always recommend securing furniture, especially if you have children or live where there are earthquakes. But especially if you plan to place this in a carpeted area like I did. Overall, I highly recommend this book shelf. It was the best I found in this price range across multiple companies and selling platforms. By hand, this unit took me two hours to assemble with nosey children interrupting me throughout the process. Lol. I recommend some extra items to make the process quicker, smoother and safer. The sturdy drywall anchors I mentioned and an allen key drill bit/drill (used carefully so as not to strip your screws). The instructions are simple and all the parts are labeled as well to make assembly easy to understand. Fantastic product! Read more

Absolutely thrilled about this book case! I wanted to reorganize my office and keep my library handy to increase my reading. The instructions were easy and assembly on the floor (as instructed) made it easy. This piece fits perfectly next to my home office couch and added a little flare & decor. This is an absolute gem of a piece!! The height allowed for me to add all my books while maximizing space!! I accidentally purchased two and wish that I could keep both! Read more
