Get what you pay for..
Didn't want to pay tons of $$ for, decided to go with this option. Obviously you get what you pay for. Bought 2 of these for my living room. The quality is so so. They are made of engineer wood with rough finish and uneven stain. The stain even comes off when you wipe with wet paper. One of the two has a defective mounting (wrong side) had to redo it. Stained with polyurethane to avoid scratched and better look.

    difficult to assemble, poor engineering so parts do not fit well
    I can't vouch for it being solid wood with veneers without ruining the unit. Some parts looked like MFD. It's not rocket science, so I was able to complete assembly but the instructions would be greatly enhanced with some narration and warning from the beginning of what not to do during said construction. The problem is once all the parts (dowel rods, metal fasteners, cam locks, side trim molding, top and bottom aprons and back panel are put together, there are fairly large discrepancies between the aprons and panels on both top and bottom. I hoped while tightening everything as assembly moved forward then mounting the back panel the variances would resolve themselves but that wasn't the case. Fortunately this unit is in shadow most of the time and isn't all that noticeable. The bottom of the side panels is just plywood stapled on. There is no slide guard so you must be very careful with wood floors because it will definitely scratch and gouge the floor if you slide it in place rather than lifting and setting it down. Otherwise, it is an attractive, solid piece of furniture.

    The back panel was cut wrong by the manufacturer. There is a 1/2 space right dead center of the back panel that you can see from the front of the unit. Not sure what my recourse is other than I need to get in touch with Home Depot to see how I can be compensated. I don't want to take this bookshelf apart and return it as it took nearly 1 1/2 to assemble.. :-(

      We had been looking for a 3' by 6' cherry bookshelf forever and I was thrilled when we stumbled upon this one. The size was exactly what we needed and the price was great. We purchased two and they arrived well packaged with five pages of assembly instructions, however my husband had them all put together in around two hours. They are very sturdy and there are lots of shelf height options. However, only part of the bookshelf is actually solid wood and the cherry color did have a slight purple tinge to it, but it did not detract from the overall look of the piece. The only reason I didn't give it a five on the quality is that the backing piece is flimsy and held together by tape. Thankfully you can't see it once the books are in place and I am still very pleased with the purchase and would definitely recommend it.

        Quality materials, relatively easy to assemble although the instructions were a little intimidating. End result fit our needs perfectly! I appreciate the strengthening detail on the edge of the shelves to protect from buckling and warping. Overall great product. I did trim an inch and a half from the bottom to fit under our countertop extension... worked perfectly!

        Large well built bookcase for a low cost. The dimensions of this bookcase fit perfectly for what I needed in the living room to place under my TV. The bookcase is well designed but does take a good amount of time to put together. I only had two issues during assembly. 1) The top accent piece was not flush on the right due to the anchoring wood underneath. I was forced to use a hand sander to sand this down to get it to sit flush. This was a little frustrating to deal with but understandable. 2) The back is taped together which helps align it but some of the pieces tape was leaving a large gap between pieces so had to spend some time getting things aligned using the spacing on the vertical pieces to get it setup well.

          The instructions were not easy to follow even for people with some experience putting furniture together.There was a scratch on it when it was delivered. I had to get the nail gun out to reinforce it, it was very wobbly. That said, it looks nice is the size and shape I wanted which wasn’t easy to find, the color was true to pictures. In order to get the size and shape I want I would buy this again but I would be prepared to spend a lot of time putting it together

          This unit exceeded my expectations and the quality and engineering for the fasteners was outstanding! Looks like a study custom bookshelf.

          meh...gets the job done?
          this was the most difficult piece of furniture I have ever put together. the instructions say you just need a screwdriver, but you NEED a drill because the entire back does not have screw holes to fit the screws into. it is also really difficult to get this put together sturdily as you're basically just hammering (you need a mallet too) the pieces into each other. the whole thing still feels kind of wobbly and there's some gaps. it's also skinnier on top than expected - can't set a lamp on it.

            This shelf is okay.. we needed storage as we no longer have a basement and this fits the bill reasonably well. Although it is not a particularly stunning piece of furniture.(i.e. the parts fit together relatively well. But there are a few seams that don’t line up quite right.), I have to give it an average rating.

            The product had multiple staining flaws including large drip spots. The wood had multiple flaws that look like a mud daubers nest but it was tan wood particles stacked on the surface without stain underneath. The package was labeled fragile do not drop. It had been dropped and the packaging busted open. The first driver did not have in van and said labeled heavy and would come the next day. Next driver left outside without knocking or ringing. Should have given us a choice whether to accept as obviously busted open and retaped during shipping. Returned to the closest Home Depot an hour away.

            We purchased two of these bookcases and placed them side by side. They look wonderful and met all of our expectations. Good quality for the price and fairly easy to assemble.

            Great bookcase! It was pretty easy to put together. We added four inch furniture legs to give it a little nicer look. I love it! It arrived sooner than predicted. All in all a great purchase, nice piece, fairly priced, quick shipping.
