Easiest shelves that I have ever had.

But it's a good, sturdy, adequate shelf, with 4 useful-sized shelves, or 5 if you leave off the top shelf.

The second benefit is the two bottom shelves have 12" of space, which seems hard to find on many book shelves.

These are sturdy shelves that can actually hold books (unlike those decorative particleboard shelving units)

Take out a section (will be two that stack if you buy the taller bookcase), open the sides, and the shelves fold down like vertical blinds

Of real concern, and the reason I awarded 3 stars, is that shelves are not evenly spaced, rendering two shelves unusable for books

Seller as well as manufacturer should make shelf dimensions clear, especially if shelves are not adjustable.

So instead of top, bottom and 5 shelves for books there are to, bottom and three shelves for books

What is not so great:The first problem I encountered is many of the top planks/shelves have a hard time fitting on the top wooden dowels.

They don't stock extra top shelves, so you have to return the entire heavy item.

It's a problem if you're shelving books, and you don't have a lot of very short paperbacks, and you care something about what order they're in.

These shelves are so easy to use and set up in a snap

These are amazing book shelves

Need to watch the shelves when unfolding and setting up because they can and do fall down and could be a head-knocker or finger masher.

Really nice shelving, great for display
