Title: 4.5 Stars 🌟
Review: I love this bookshelf! It looks really nice. If Amazon had a half star option, I’d be giving it 4.5 stars. The reasons I’m docking off half a star are:1) There was a scratch on one of the top front pieces. However, it’s not very large or super noticable, and I’m sure I could cover it with a similar colored Sharpie or something, so I didn’t bother trying to get a replacement because that would just be a hassle. But the packaging the shelf came in wasn’t damaged at all, so I’m guessing it happened when the pieces were being put in the box. But things happen, I’m not upset about is as it’s an easy enough fix.2) I read a lot of reviews saying this was easy to put together, but I wouldn’t necessarily say it was easy. I’m fairly handy with tools, having put together a lot of furniture and doing minor home repairs on my own. I put this bookshelf together by myself. It took a couple hours and some steps required a lot of arm/hand strength to get the screws in, and I ended up stripping a lot of the screws just trying to get them screwed all the way in. I’m thinking using a drill would have made things a lot easier, but the instructions say not to and I’m usually one to do things by the book, so I didn’t. However, if I had to put together another one of these, I think I’d probably go ahead and just use a drill for some of the steps to save time and avoid getting frustrated.3) Some reviews say that the shelf doesn’t seem sturdy on the sides, like it’ll topple over onto itself, but I disagree. It seems very sturdy once put together and I’m not at all worried about it falling apart. BUT, I’m not so sure that it wouldn’t fall forward if pulled on or hit. I have 2 dogs (50 and 60 lbs) that sometimes play rough, so I absolutely used the safety strap to attach it to the wall because I’m not confident that the shelf wouldn’t fall forward if they were playing and rolled into it or something. I do have it on a carpeted floor, so maybe on a hardwood floor it would feel more stable. I don’t like that the safety strap pokes through a big hole in the backboard of the bookshelf. I feel like the hole doesn’t need to be so big. I ended up cutting the circle that comes off the backboard, leaving enough of a space for the safety strap to poke through, and then taping the rest of the circle back in place from the back so it’s not as visible.Overall, I think this is a well made, beautiful piece of furniture. I’m glad this is the one I chose to purchase, and I have no regrets in buying it. I think it will hold up for quite a while.Also, props to the Amazon driver who delivered it! It was a little heavy, and I was home by myself and worried I wouldn’t be able to get it inside on my own without opening it and carrying it in piece by piece. It was raining though, and that wouldn’t be ideal, so he carried it inside and set it down in my living room for me. He was very nice and I appreciate him taking that extra step to make my life a little easier!

Title: A Winner
Review: Solid, quality piece of furniture, looks great, easy assembly. Very happy with it and proud of myself for choosing the right one. Thinking of saving 80 or 100 bucks and buying a cheaper version? Don’t do it, not worth it.

Title: Gorgeous Finish on Particle Board
Review: I bought and assembled three of theseshelf units. In my home office, they arevery useful and look really nice. I gotthe cherry finish, and it is justgorgeous, prettiest furniture finish Iever saw.From 15 feet away, one of the shelf unitslooks nice enough for nearly any office orliving room. But since the unit isdesigned to be assembled by the customer,up close it does not look quite as nice ashigh quality traditional furniture making.While the unit seems designed well enoughfor its intend purpose and usage, due tothe particle board, the unit does not lookas rugged as, say, some units I have insolid oak from about 100 years ago.There is an instruction book thatdocuments how to assemble the unit in 14steps. The ‘technical writing’ is verygood.Along with the particle board pieces,there are some small pieces, nearly allmetal. All these small pieces come in aplastic bag. Suggestion: Get 12 littlebowls and sort each piece type into itsown bowl.Some of the details of how the shelves areassembled are innovative. Mostly theshelves are held together with some ‘pins’and ‘cams’.For joining two pieces of the particleboard, say, X and Y, piece X has a holefor a pin and piece Y has a correspodinghole for the other end of the same pinand, at the end of that hole, a hole inthe surface for a cam. Then when pieces Xand Y are joined, one end of the pin willbe in the hole in piece X and the otherend in the hole and cam of piece Y.The pin is a little complicated: The endthat goes into the cam has a grove thatfits into the side of the cam and getspulled on as the cam is turned. The otherend has some tough, black plastic. Whenthe cam is turned, the pin tries to slideout of the black plastic, and the blackplastic expands and makes the pin tight inthe hole in piece X.Suggestion: Put the pin in the hole inpiece X and then move piece Y to slide itshole over its end of the pin.If the pin is in piece Y first, then asmove pieces X and Y into position and getthe pin in its hole in piece X, theplastic can be damaged and have its end ofthe pin no longer fit in the hole in pieceX. When this happened to me, I just useda knife to trim a little of the blackplastic. But, still, I suggest, put thepin in the hole in piece X first, makingthe black plastic safe, and then movepiece Y in position. The end of the pinwith the plastic is delicate; the otherend is not.Mostly the unit is to be assembled on afloor, on its back. You may want somegood knee pads — not a joke.Okay, there is a risk of damaging the unitand, thus, have to be careful. In detail,there are 6 shelves, three are adjustable.For the other three, there is the top, thebottom, and one between those two.The top and the bottom have decorativepieces. Then to attach the back, flip theunit on its front and have the back up.The two decorative pieces will then be incontact with the floor, and due to thesedecorative pieces, the ‘between’ shelfwill NOT be in contact with the floor andwill be about 2 inches from the floor.THEN: Do NOT lean on the shelf unit!! Iflean very hard, say, using the unit tohelp stand, can have a pin be pulled outof its hole bringing much of particleboard surface of its hole along with it.Solution: Get two thick books, say, 1000pages each, and put one at each end of the’between’ shelf and between that shelf andthe floor. Then can lean on the unitwithout damaging it.The back is thin, made of two pieces, andget attached with 3/4 inch long nails.Budget the use of the nails or might runout. I wanted more nails. The nails thatcome with the unit are good, and wouldhave to look carefully to find extras justas good.In attaching the back pieces, should gettheir position accurate within about 1/16of an inch everywhere. With lessaccuracy, might have some of the backextend beyond the unit. Also each of thenails has to go into the edge of a pieceof particle board, hopefully into thecenter of that edge. Else the nail canprotrud from and damage the surface of theboard. Also want each nail not too closeto the edge of the back. Such alignmentneeds the 1/16″ accuracy.One piece of the back, the ‘upper’ piece,covers from the ‘between’ board to the topboard. This piece attaches first. Theother piece, the ‘lower’ piece, coversfrom the ‘between’ board to the bottomboard and overlaps the upper piece wherethe upper piece already covers the edge ofthe ‘between’ board.Then, of course, the part of the unitwhere the upper piece attaches mayslightly fail to be a rectangle. So, getthe upper piece very carefully positionedso that its lower edge just covers theedge of the ‘between’ board and nail thepiece to the ‘between’ board. Then ‘skew’the upper part of the unit so that it isaccurately a rectangle, put a nail in eachof the two upper corners of the upperpiece to hold the alignment achieved, andthen put in the rest of the nails in theupper piece. That is, to get the upperpiece attached within 1/16″, expect tohave to use some ‘skew’.Similarly for the lower piece.There is a chance that, at the edge of the’between’ board, a nail for the lowerpiece could hit a nail for the upperpiece. So, after nailing the upper pieceto the edge of the ‘between’ board, foreach of those nails mark on the upperpiece a little above the ‘between’ boardwhere the nail is so that when nailing thelower piece can avoid each nail already inthe upper piece.When nailing the lower piece to the upperpiece and into the edge of the ‘between’board, for each nail need some way to knowwhere to start the nail to have it enterthe center of the edge of the ‘between’board. At the ends of the ‘between’board, it is easy to locate nailscorrectly. So put a nail at each end andhave a loop of kite string from one of thenails to the other and then to a hangingweight to make the string tight andstraight. Then put the rest of the nailsin the bottom piece between the two piecesof string. Or use a chalk line or draw aline using a yard stick as a straightedge.The ‘between’ board gets a piece of edgetrim. It is to be attached with rightangle brackets. Each bracket gets twosmall screws. The instructions say thatthis piece of edge trim should be attachedwhen the unit is on its back on the floor.With the unit in this position, the littlescrews are very awkward to install, wouldbe easier for someone the size of akitten. An easy solution is to lift theunit to the vertical with the top down.Then the screws are easy to install.There are several screws. They all need a#2 Phillips head screwdriver.For installing the nails, finally Idecided to use two extra tools, a pair ofneedle nose pliers and a strongflashlight. Then for each nail, hold itjust under its head in the tip of thepliers. Use the flashlight to remove allshadows from the desired location of thenail. Then position the tip of the nailcarefully, make the nail vertical, give atap or two with the hammer, move thepliers out of the way, and finish drivingin the nail. The unit comes with a littleplastic gauge for such positioning, butwhen I squeezed a nail, it would jump outof the plastic and land a foot or twoaway.

Title: A beautiful, well designed bookcase.
Review: The bookcase is solid, well constructed, and beautiful. It took me a little over an hour to assemble it, which didn’t seem unreasonable, and the instructions were thorough and easy to follow. (They even included a touch of humor, which I appreciated.) It’s made out of “engineered wood,” which used to be called particle board. Not my first choice, but real wood bookcases are becoming almost impossible to find and are outrageously expensive. I bought this to replace a different design of Sauder particle board bookcase, which had sagged noticeably over the years. When I looked back and realized that it had served me well for over forty years, which included five moves and six years in long term storage while I was stationed overseas, I decided that maybe well designed particle board bookcases weren’t so bad after all. The weight capacities listed in the Amazon specs were screwy, as they varied according to what color finish (wood grained adhesive vinyl) you selected. I contacted Sauder, and they told me “The 412835 5-Shelf Bookcase has 3 adjustable shelves that can hold up to 25 pounds. The fixed middle shelf can hold up to 30 pounds and the bottom can hole up to 40 pounds.” That’s 145 pounds total.

Review: Great, sturdy, beautiful. I’m planning on replacing the other 2 old Ikea bookshelves with this model (I know, I know, but Krevbäck bookshelves where the most amazing bookshelves Ikea ever made, they even lasted 8 moving sessions. Of course they discontinued them!).If you are hesitating buying those, here’s what’s up with them: Yeah, they might have minor scratches, it happens, mine had none I easily noticed. Read the …. manual. It says not to tighten the screws too much for the upper part, because if you do, you will go through the wood and it doesn’t look great (It’s still not that noticeable, I got lucky). It’s very heavy. Unless you’re strong (you can always move it sideways and wiggle it like I did), get someone to help put in into position once you’re done assembling it. It offers way more space than I originally thought it would. My Krevbäck a pretty wide, these aren’t much wider, yet I could fit way more books per shelves. Amazing!It’s better quality than most you’ll see in stores and cheaper.
