GREAT bookcase at a GREAT price
I've ordered two of these so far (one in black and one in white), and will certainly be ordering a third (in brown). I like the adjustable shelves, the look, and the ease of putting it together. I highly recommend this bookcase, in any color, for anyone who wants a great bookcase at a great price. I use them for my collection of '80s toys, but you can obviously display anything that fits. Need a bookcase? THIS IS THE ONE TO BUY!

One out of two was damaged upon arrival
I picked up both book shelves at the same time from bashford manor Walmart location. I was sure to be careful when transporting and moving them. Upon opening them at home, I immediately noticed the kick board was broken completely. I then opened the other book shelf packaging to check for damage. I found none so I assembled it instead. When I completed that bookshelf, I checked the other package again and started to assemble it anyway. That's when I noticed the side board was cracked. I am disappointed in this product and I would like some type of compensation.

    Great value, simple assembly
    I bought 2 of these, they had a bundle for sale at $65 dollars, but at $31.50 each it was cheaper to purchase individually on the same order. They arrived faster than expected, were easy to assemble, and in black oak finish my books really pop on these shelves. I would recommend these to anyone who needs a bookshelf or two....

    Disappointed
    I actually purchased two bookshelves and the first one I put together didn't have enough screws to complete. So I had to use screws I used in another project that I'd done. The second one I put together didn't have enough pegs to put the last shelve on the bookshelve. So now I'm having to purchase implements for the bookshelves that should have come ready to assemble. I'm very disappointed.

    great shelves
    First, you cannot beat the price, I bought the set of two for $60. It took less than 30 minutes for myself and my fiance to put it together and the second one that I bought I assembled myself and it took under 45 minutes. I didn't attach with the safety bracket it to the wall but it seems sturdy enough that it should be OK. I didn't give it 5 stars only because the espresso color should have just been named black. They are darker than they looked online, I was anticipating a darker finish with the espresso finish but they are almost completely black. It doesn't bother me enough that I want to return them, I will more than likely end up painting the other ones I bought to try and match this finish because I love these shelves. They fit almost all of my movie collection.

    Great bookshelf for the awesome price!
    My husband and a friend put the bookshelf together. It took them about 30 minutes. I bought two for $60 and used one as a storage unit for my baby girl's nursery and the other as an actual bookshelf. The white is very pretty and clean. It is exactly what I wanted. I also appreciated how it shipped in 1 day! It's not the sturdiest bookshelf but that's to be expected for a $30 bookshelf.

    Great Bookshelf!
    I love this thing. It's tall and elegant and thin. I'd have two if I had the space and need for it. Maybe I'll buy a second for my bedroom! Instead of nailing the backing, I used a cheap-o staple-gun, and it was MUCH faster, less loud, and a lot easier, too. I also knew that I wouldn't want to move the shelves around any in the future, so I stapled the backing to the shelves, and this made it all the more stable, and better-looking. I love that I can cover imperfections with a sharpie. I caused a few with poor staple-gun aim, and was able to make it look good as new! I also purchased the 3-shelf and used it as a media tower under my mounted TV, but didn't use the backing so I could have space for wire organization (I saved a TON of money with that idea, and I recommend it highly!). The ONLY thing I don't like about the Ameriwood bookshelves is that they have little imperfections on top of the wood grain that look like dark gray squiggly lines in what I assume is the lacquer or polish or whatever you would like to call it. They're hardly noticeable, and really, for such a great price, we're not expecting perfection, are we? Anyway, it looks great and I'm very happy with it! I'm attaching a picture of both of my bookshelves. Please don't mind my "artwork," I'm not much of an artist, but I needed something to use as a placeholder!

    Great price and few dissapointments
    I bought this bookshelf to store my handbags. It was a great price and big enough to store everything nicely. My biggest dissapointment is the back of the bookshelf came folded in delivery so you see creases (at least I can) and building it was rather tedious. For 35 dollars those problems are worth it.

    You get what you pay for.
    I never buy anything without reading tons of reviews on it. I gave this particular bookshelf the benefit of the doubt, wary of the low price tag. Alas, you do indeed get what you pay for. When I was assembling it, my boyfriend was laughing at me because it looked so cheap. The compacted wood was literally breaking as we were drilling holes and the back side of the case looks like an oaktag board. He refused to display it in the living room so we agreed to move it to the kitchen where it actually matches. It actually looks fabulous in the kitchen, where I store my spices, kettles, oils, whatever. But I would not place it where it could be seen by everyone at all time. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone who wants a seriously nice bookcase. 3 stars for the price, 2 off for the quality. I should've listened when I was told to invest just a tad more for a decent bookcase. Well I did, and now I have a fabulous bookcase from another vendor. Happy trails.

    Nice shelves
    We bought these for our teenage daughter to store all her trinkets. I also bought a single shelf that we put in between these two units to make a desk top for her. After years of trying to organize all her stuff I think we've finally figured it out. The shelves were easy to assemble and I love that they anchor to the wall!
