Reviews around look (4.24 of 5)

  • Nice looking book-stand, really easy to set up and it feels strong
  • Assembly was painless and it really is a great looking bookcase.

Reviews around piece (4.22 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around bookcase (4.08 of 5)

  • I bought this to replace my cheap laminate particle board bookcases
  • It's a great looking bookcase, but without fastening it to the wall, it cannot stand straight up on its own
  • This well made bookcase is very sturdy an attractive to look at.
  • This bookcase is much better than I expected, it was easy to put together (about an hour, if that) and it's very sturdy, it arrived in great condition
  • It looks nice, and it'll hold light things, but it's a cheap bookcase

Reviews around assembly (4.00 of 5)

  • 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.

Reviews around color (3.95 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around shelve (3.70 of 5)

  • These shelves are great once they are put together however there were some small missing pieces that made it complicated to put together
  • I liked the shelves so much that I bought 3 of them to line a wall
  • The shelves have a good weight to them that supports my claim
  • I haven't - and won't - set up the shelves because the wood is cracked,
  • You have to be very careful putting them together though, you can split the wood shelves, but go slow, and it will be a very sturdy shelf

Reviews around product (3.70 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around wood (3.28 of 5)

  • Arrived quickly and looks really nice, solid wood and stable.
  • Apparently the screws they supplied for attaching the shelves are too large and split the wood
  • Ours split the wood a fraction because they were just too big.
  • Looks more expensive than it is, really good price for solid wood
  • For this price to be all solid wood with no veneer, it's a good deal.

Reviews around screw (1.88 of 5)

  • My only tip would be to leave the screws slightly loose until the end and then tighten everything down
  • The boards are a bit thin, so it seemed the screws were going to crack the boards.
  • (The hex screws provided seem a wide diameter for the pre-drilled holes)4 of 8 required small screws were missing as well
  • I thought I was missing screws however everything was there
  • Apparently the screws they supplied for attaching the shelves are too large and split the wood

Reviews around bite (1.88 of 5)

  • 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)

Reviews around thing (1.83 of 5)

  • It was probably one of the more difficult things ive ever put together
  • The only bad thing about these was they were a royal pain to put together, and the instructions aren't as clear as they should be.
  • One gross thing is that all the wood had an oily residue that off-gassed for quite awhile.
  • Good thing it was only 70$ next time I'll know better but irritated with Amazon that it came up that way in the "serch".

Reviews around cherry (1.80 of 5)

  • It's definitely not as dark as the target one, more like dark cherry than espresso, and 5 tiers is misleading
  • It's a nice cherry color and matches with my living room décor
  • and they sent me a cherry color which sucks because with light you can hekka tell its red
  • They were stained a medium dark cherry mahogany color, which went with either colonial type furniture or more modern
  • (I am a handy 36 y/o 5'2" woman)

Reviews around board (1.33 of 5)

  • The problems that others list, such as the wooden plugs splitting the wood, twisted and warped boards, etc. are true
  • The boards are a bit thin, so it seemed the screws were going to crack the boards.
  • No boards were damaged as the whole thing was packaged very well
  • It was the only one I could find new under $100.00 that was not made of cheap looking particle board with laminate over it
  • Cracked one board from screwing too tight (instructions say not to)
  • Read remaining 8 reviews for board

Reviews around break (1.00 of 5)

  • 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.

Reviews around manufacture (1.00 of 5)

  • 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.

Reviews around drill (1.00 of 5)

  • 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
