I bought two and they are okay for what I need. We had to redrill one of the holes and the little caps that go over the screws don't stay in very well. We may glue them on.

Perfect piece to finish my entry area. Exactly as described. It shipped quickly, arrived well packaged and undamaged, went together easily and sturdy. Well worth the money.Only complaint is it didn't come with any anchors to hold it to a wall.

Well made and went together easy! Would recommend... directions could have been better for those who may be less mechanically inclined.

I purchased these bookshelf after reading the reviews, in fact I purchased two shelves.Product arrived, well-packaged, and the wood was protected with styro wrap and styrofoam pieces. All items needed for assembly were included in the package. After reviewing the diagram included with the shelves, I was able to assemble these shelves, by myself, in 25 minutes (each) with little difficulty.Nothing is flimsy in this shelf set. The wood is thick and sturdy. The wood screws are substantial, but easily used to assemble the shelf. The finish was nicely done on each piece of wood, too.A few things kept me from giving it a five-star rating: the feet/bottom of the shelves are not finished, and some of them weren't varnished completely; a few of the wood screws were malformed, but I was able to use other screws from the two other sets I purchased; two of the pieces had misaligned pre-drilled holes, so it took a bit longer to fit those pieces with my own hand-held drill to create new holes.All in all, I think it was well worth the investment in purchasing these shelves. I like the color, and the dimensions are exactly as described.

This product is sturdy yet light weight. Very easy to assemble. Only setting up the top shelf takes a little time due to positioning. It is a little smaller than expected. I use the bottom two shelves with wicker baskets for lingerie and the third one to keep perfumes and other dress accessories. A good buy for grad students but I'd not pay more than $60 for it.

I bought this model and 3 of the tall ones because i loved the description and they truly are beautiful when they are finally assembled.Two things i would like to mention which are the reasons why i cut a star off is one that the screws for the top shelf especially are not conveniently located because you cannot do a full turn with the allen key.The other is that the top isn't really made specifically for the bookshelf you get in the box so it might kind of seem off a bit but at the end of the day the simple fact that i was able to get REAL wood in the US has made me extremely happy and for the price hands down its a great deal all around!!I would definitely recommend and buy this again..:)

I bought this shelf plus the matching baskets to store shoes just inside my front door (instead of having a giant pile of shoes just strewn about on the floor). I had previously purchased the Winsome Wood tall four-shelved unit for my cookbook collection, so I decided to go with Winsome Wood again. I am pleased with my purchase. In other reviews you will see that some people have had trouble actually assembling the shelves; I myself did not have any problem assembling either this unit or the other Winsome Wood unit I purchased. I just read the directions carefully and took my time in making sure all the parts were lined up properly. This unit is easy to assemble. It is solid wood, which is a plus in this day and age of pressboard. In some spots the wood is a little rough, but not majorly so. The Espresso color is definitely dark, but that's what I wanted. We live in a 120+ year old Victorian, and I wanted dark wood that would blend in with the new and the old furnishing and decor. This shelf set holds about 20 pairs of shoes (in five baskets, which I purchased separately) in the following sizes: women's 8.5, men's 10.5, men's 9, and women's 6.5. It's such a neat alternative to my old giant pile of shoes! I do recommend this product for a good middle-of-the-road shelving set.

i purchased 2 of these shelving units for my studio space. being the impatient person i am, i decided to use a drill instead of the provided hex wrench to get the screws in faster. BIG MISTAKE! i ended up stripping most of them trying to get them tighter. now i have to deal with a wobbly bookcase since i can't get the screws out either! having learned that lesson, on the 2nd unit i used the wrench and it went together like butter. they look great up and the color is just what i was hoping for.

For the price, this is a great bookshelf. It's easy to put together. It had some minor damages, some weird discolored areas but they are not noticeable.They were mostly on the back of the bookshelf. It might look like it doesn't hold much weight, but it actually does. I have a 32 inch plasma TV that weighs about 30 lbs on the top shelf. Overall I think this is a great product. It goes great with other espresso furniture I have.

This shelf is espresso, which is not what the picture shows. If you're looking for a brown, do not get the espresso, it is almost black. That being said, I did actually want the darker color so I am pleased with the espresso. I got the matching baskets and the contrast is nice. My husband (the one who put it together) was pleased with the assembly as well. Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase.

Great price with free shipping for a solid piece of furniture. One note - the grain of the wood varies and that causes the color of the stain to vary with it. Every shelf is a little different shade of espresso. Overall, it does matches other espresso furniture in the room.

This is a nice bookcase. Very easy to put together. I filled it with hard cover books and it's holding up just fine.

I bought this for a good price on sale. It was missing a piece and I had to send away for the piece. It took quite a while for the piece to arrive and although it was free apparently I was meant to send in my proof of purchase to get the piece for free (which wasn't in the instructions and may have been why it took so long).It was easy to put together myself and it didn't take much time. I was disappointed that one of the shelves had some faults in the finishing. Once together the bookshelf looks nice from a distance, I like the color of the finish. However, up close I don't think that it looks like a great quality piece. It's not terribly sturdy, it does wobble a bit when it's empty. I would not load it up with textbooks, but it's not too flimsy either. The shelves are small and don't hold much, I'm unable to put a few of my taller books on them. All considered it's probably better than other options in the same price range. I am considering buying another one, but mainly so that it can match the one I already have.

I agree to false advertizing. Read everything. I also thought baskets came with enfact thats why I bought this. It was exactly what I was looking for and they r hard to find. But to my surprise I did not get what I thought I ordered.

Nice bookshelf, assembly is a bit tedious but can get done. A piece of the wood came off one shelf but I glued it back on. It looks nice in my study and holds a nice amount of books plus has room on top for a few pictures, etc. Nice buy.
