Multiple pieces were broken when I received the box but the manufacture quickly sent me a replacement
holding up well, nice piece of furniture for the price.
Beautiful piece of inexpensive furniture but be careful when assembling because a lot of the holes are misaligned requiring re-drilling of the pilot holes, also one of my pieces of wood that hold the top shelf was cracked but it is still functional with just three screws holding it down.
There was a nick on one of the side pieces and no pilot holes drilled on the top piece.
Some pieces had minor cosmetic damage on arrival but not in noticeable places once assembled
Assembly was not difficult but took some time; 30-40 minutes.
Pros-real wood-pretty even stain-easy assembly with or without instructions-strong once assembled and tightenedCons (personal gripe but not bad)-finish is more reddish like cherry-finish is a bit shiny(I prefer a Matt finish)
Assembly was easy, and once it's together, it looks nice.
The instructions were easy to follow and assembly was easy.
Assembly was easy enough but instructions could have been better.
The color on this item is very nice and matches what I have already very well.
Color is verye inconsistent and pieces aren't smooth where they should be.
They were stained a medium dark cherry mahogany color, which went with either colonial type furniture or more modern
and I do like the color as well as the fact that they were easy to assemble.
after talking with the company to get replacement parts...they sent but the wrong color and the missing parts was from something else...too long and not the right color
but overall it is a good product when completed properly
It's always a crap-shoot purchasing furniture over the internet, but I would recommend this product in a heartbeat!
There are many complaints about defective products, but I've ordered several on overstock and Amazon- depends on prime shipping and actual costs-- and the wood hasn't been damaged
I would definitely recommend the product for anyone who needs a small shelf for home or office.
Product was missing one bolt, if it wasn't for that this would be a 5 star rating
I took off one star because upon putting in a screw, the wood for that corner of the shelf split a little bit so something to be cautious about since that can happen.
It was a little bit of a pain to put together but well worth the money
and I struggled a little bit on the top piece but figured it out
When I tapped in one of the screw covers, part of the wood cracked a bit.
Pros-real wood-pretty even stain-easy assembly with or without instructions-strong once assembled and tightenedCons (personal gripe but not bad)-finish is more reddish like cherry-finish is a bit shiny(I prefer a Matt finish)
Easy to put together, beautiful to look at, shiny and clean looking...arrived quickly, no broken pieces or dents or scratches, and I am just incredibly pleased!
I've exchanged the broken one twice now and both replacements also had cracked/broken parts
Don't bother buying this, very poor quality, and came broken in several places, its definitely not worth $100, let alone $30.
The book case is really beautiful but the manufacturing of it is crap
I'm not sure where the bad reviews are coming from, maybe a manufacturing defect from a certain time period.
I have put together dozens and dozens of things like this but have never seen a more poorly manufactured 'bookshelf,' not to mention the atrocious instructions and packaging
Some minor manufacturing issues for fastening placement, but looks great.
Prone to cracking, made worse by the sloppy pre-drilled holes.
The top of the bookcase was never drilled, a nail was sticking out on the side, and the crosspieces in the back were misaligned
My only real complaint is that the holes are not drilled into the top, and the screw holes were not cut as deep as they should be, so several screws did not reach as deep into the top as they should, leaving it a bit too loosely attached
One shelf cracked while screwing it in it seemed as if the hole drilled for the screwed to follow may have been crooked
