Questions & Answers

what is the difference between the options of "unfinished" and "unfinished wood"... Thanks
ByMay 6, 2025
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Unfinished and unfinished wood is the same. Both refer to the furniture being left in its natural wood surface with no "finish" applied. The wood has been sanded smooth leaving the consumer the option as to how they want to finish it. You can leave it natural, apply a stain color or paint it whatever color you like!

    Distance between shelves is 10.52 x 6 = 63.12" The legs are 2.2". 63.12 + 2.2" = 65.32" 72" - 65.32" = 6.68". Where are these 6.68" ?

    Answer This Question

    Hi Edward, the 6.68 inches would be distributed in the thickness of the shelves, the bottom shelf and the top of the bookcase.

            What stain do I need to purchase to exactly match the espresso version bookcase to an unstained bare wood item that is not offered stained?
            ByOct 20, 2024
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            To match the espresso stain of your 72 in. Espresso Wood 6-shelf Standard Bookcase from The Home Depot, look for an "Espresso" or "Dark Walnut" wood stain. Minwax and Varathane offer similar shades. Always test the stain on a scrap piece of wood to ensure it matches before applying it to your item.

                  What Customers Say
                  Summarized by generative AI from text of customer reviews

                  Customers say the bookcase is well-constructed with solid wood materials, making it sturdy and visually appealing. Many found assembly to be relatively easy, although some noted that the instructions could be clearer and parts were not always labeled. While most customers were pleased with the quality and design, a few experienced issues with damaged components upon arrival and some off-gassing odors. Overall, the product is well-received for its durability and aesthetic value.

                  Assembly tips
                  Start assembly on its side (use pieces of foam from packaging to act as a spacer to accomodate the overhang of the top piece), then tip upside down to get the back panels & the back braces to more easily shift upwards. I also considered installing the back panels to show the laquered wood surface vs the white surface. It would have been cute but there were noticable splotches of white paint. None of the pieces are labeled but just pay attention to the pictures in the assembly diagram. Holes are also not predrilled for the back panel but the screws provided are self tapping. 1 pers assy/30 min.

                    The pics show how we found it today. Hope it’s ok. Not super thrilled so far. I only recommend this product if your delivery is better than ours was.

                      Arrived Broken
                      Quality shelf, but it arrived broken and cracked in several places. Also had missing screws.

                        Very sturdy, but not easy
                        Putting this together was interesting to say the least None of the parts are actually labeled, so you have to try to decipher which piece is which based on the picture, which DOESN'T give the best detail. But once put together, it is very sturdy, and seems like it should hold up for a while.

                          HIGHLY RECOMMENDED / Great for Books
                          Exceeded all expectations! Hardwood quality evident when I drilled added holes to adjust shelf. Even back panel is real wood, w/ screws not nails. WELL packaged: thick, soft plastic (no styrofoam) & protected corners. Easy assembly. (TIPS: don't tighten top shelf until back panels are fully inserted into groove; carefully align and pre-drill back panel holes into fixed shelves.) Unknown load-per-shelf, but use for books with confidence. NOTE: "Expresso" is darker than in listing (see photos).

                            Very difficult to attach back pieces
                            Item is as pictured. Not overly natural looking. Very difficult to attach back but looks okay from front. The wood has a strong chemical odor that is still noticeable. Overall this brand is sturdy. I painted a desk of the same brand - pleased with that.

                              It is solid wood and was fairly easy to assemble by myself. My one disappointment was that none of the shelves is tall enough to hold my large books upright, so I had to lay them flat, which is not too big of a deal. The description of the bookcase didn’t include shelf heights. I really liked picking it up at my local Home Depot and saving the shipping charges.

                              Not entirely wood
                              The sides and shelves are all real wood. However the back is made of very thin plywood/pressed wood. I purchased the 72 inch tall bookcase. If you are looking for a stable bookcase, do not purchase this. It wobbles forward even when filled with books. It will need attached to a wall for stability. When assembled and painted, the bookcase looks excellent from the front - very nice and expensive looking. (It's too bad it's not a higher quality). There was a defect on the bookcase I received. There was a metal piece that was put in the wrong hole where the pegs for the shelves are supposed to be inserted. I didn't notice it until pushing the shelf into place which caused a hole through the other side of the wood. I'm not able to put holes in the wall to secure the bookcase.. I'm not sure how I'm going to keep it stable.

                                I never write reviews because basically I am never satisfied but this is by far the best quality boxed furniture I have ever bought. I was amazed at the details. The instructions were typical. The wood was real and the extras and hardware were a plus. I am so impressed.
