I needed a small bookshelf and this is it! Not meant to be an heirloom, it is a functional shelf design made of a dense foamy plastic with flat white surfaces. The parts hammer together with a little dexterity. Then there are 16 screws and a little screw driver to insure secure fit. I used an electric screwdriver for quick screwing, but one MUST NOT TIGHTEN THE SCREWS WITH AN ELECTRIC SCREWDRIVER. The final tightening was done with the provided tiny screwdriver, and with a couple of light rubber hammer taps on the screwdriver at the end of the tightening then tighten more. One must be careful not to strip the material by over tightening. The hammer tapping seemed to push the countersunk heads a bit at a time into the soft plastic surface. You can see the assembly instructions in the photo provided. Shelf comes in 9 parts. Best assembled with a rubber hammer, but with a sheet of paper between the parts and the hammer head to prevent black marks on the white shelving material. Looks OK. Seems strong enough for medium heavy stuff. Read more

Originally bought this as a shelf for my bathroom to hold extra toilet paper, but my teen daughter (after much convincing) took it as the “perfect size night stand” (her words) for her room. It’s shorter, so she doesn’t have to do any reaching and struggling to access her books/snacks when she feels like laying in bed and chilling. Super lightweight and easy to move to clean behind, hold some of her favorite books with room to spare, easy to assemble (took me 5-10 mins), and is pretty functional as a nightstand/bookshelf given I bought “something cheap to hold toilet paper” originally lol. Looks cute and overall was Worth the purchase! Now I gotta order 1 more so I can actually get one in my bathroom finally LOL Read more

It is perfect. I almost didn't order due to some of the review. Because it was the perfect size for what I needed, I decided to take a chance. So glad I did. Went together very easily and fast. Not sure what it is made of but it is light and sturdy. I know some people complained about the quality, but the price was right! I mean if you want oak, you pay for oak. Others didn't like the screws. I think you can actually leave them out, or even put white paint on. So I give it a 5 star. Read more

I’m a little torn with this table, you see it’s actually perfect for what I need it for which should give it a five star review. However, the material from which it is made is so cheap, spongy and flimsy that I cannot give it more than three stars. It is perfect if you need a small side table somewhere to hold a small lamp or a cup of tea but not more. it’s a bit of a pain to put together because you need to use some force, but it feels like you’re going to break it if you do! I guess for the price you cannot expect any more than what you get. Read more

First of all, the material this is made of, I don't know what it is. It feels like balsa wood which if you don't know what that is, it's a very lightweight very flimsy wood - think styrofoam. It feels like it's made of balsa wood and styrofoam. Structurally it's a very very weak flimsy material, one of the worst if not the worst material I've ever seen for furniture. To put it another way, most pieces of wood furniture (shelf, cabinet, table, coffee table), I would feel 100% comfortable to stand on top of them. This thing, I'm sure if I stood on it, it would buckle and collapse. This does fit together like a puzzle, like parts of it literally resemble a jigsaw puzzle piece that locks in. You have to use some force to lock in the segments. I used my deadblow hammer (a hammer filled with sand for weight) to good effect, but I'm sure if you hit one of the jigsaw nubs it would break. You can also fit the parts manually. It also comes with a LOT of screws, I used a power screwdriver here to good effect. It would have been tedious to put them all in manually. It does come with a tiny screwdriver if that's how you want to use it. Again, you have to be quite cautious when driving the screws because of the flimsy weak nature of the material i.e. it would be very easy to strip out the material around screws. Some wood glue at all the joints may help the whole process and confer a stronger structure though I didn't try it in this case. Altogether, at the price point this is sold for, I do still think it's fair value. It's flimsy but what do you expect for the price. For the weak material, the design and engineering is very reasonable and innovative. There are potential use cases if you want a piece of furniture that is cheap and light (easily moved) - if you're putting light weight things in it, want it to look nice, and mostly use the shelf for display, i think it fits the bill. If it's getting heavy use or holding heavy things, I would expect the thing to break. Given the flimsy wood, if you do ever need to repair it, I'd recommend a nut/bolt setup instead of screws, since it's impossible to get a "bite" from a screw in that material. Read more

I love this stand. The shelves hold lots of books and I was able to set a small TV on top. Also, I was able to assemble it quickly and easily. It is an excellent value. Read more
