Customer Reviews for HODEDAH 59.06 in. Cherry Wood 5-shelf Standard Bookcase with Storage

Very cheaply made. Bottom of shelves are not laminated, screws stick out the sides and are gaudy. I would not purchase again. Ikea is better quality.

Two shelves had absolutely no laminate on it. So upsetting. Had to keep so very very unhappy. May try to stain the shelves so it's not so blatantly obvious this is garbage.

Great space saver for apartment. I used mines as a closet for baby. Was very easy to put together by myself. Left one shelf out to make for longer clothing. Highly recommend.

I needed a bookcase that was narrow and black and this was perfect! Fit in the area I wanted it for and it was easy to put together. For the price, I’m happy with the product. It’s for my 13 year old daughter and she’s happy too. I would buy it again!

Bought 3 shelves, one of each height. Nice looking and quality for the price. For me I added extra wood security lengths at the back attached the three shelves and it helps a lot with sturdiness. Looks good and will hold up well enough for my purposes. Do not get if looking for a good strong book shelf, these are not that. The price is fair for what you get.

1) the hardware is not flush with the bookcase as shown in the online listing (see photo) 2) the hardware is too soft & the supplied hex key often slips when tightening (25% failure) 3) to fix issue #2, i had to cut grooves in the screws so that i could tighten with a screwdriver (see photo) other than that, when the bookcase is assembled it is functional and actually doesn't look that bad

Easy to assemble, instructions included, all parts included, beautiful after assembly and fits perfectly where needed. Meets my expectations, delivery and pickup on time. Nothing was damaged in shipping.

We ordered 3 of these and all 3 of them were designed wrong to build correctly but didn't even match the directions. In order to make them work, I had to saw the back of the #1 board along the scored area. According to the directions it goes on top but #3 has to since it's the only piece that's finished on both sides. Then you have to put #1 on the bottom but to place it showing the finished side, it's scored on the wrong side so you have to trim it. Also, the photos in the description of the unit doesn't show the screws being so visible.

Exactly as described. Easy to assemble and a perfect fit for my needs!

very good product

Just as advertised. Beautiful finish, easy to put together, and holds a variety of books. Perfect!

This product was so easy to put together and will work perfectly for my craft room!

Arrived earlier than expected, easy assemble, ,great appearance, especially for the price

The bookcase was easy to assemble and the color is GORGEOUS. After putting it together and adding my books/novels I am extremely impressed. I've received numerous compliments on it, most thought it cost a couple hundred dollars. What an exceptional value, I will definitely be purchasing another one, maybe two more.

very easy put togethers

love it! good quality, even looks good! my only complaint is that it was difficult for this old lady to figure out the proper orientation for the shelves. even after having had to unscrew that 1st shelf and place it properly, with the groove facing the back, it retained its strength. other than the one goof, it was a breeze to build! also love that they use individual shelf backs rather than 1 big sheet. no bowing! and i can finally unbox the books, lol. this has given me the confidence to try a few more kinds of furniture!

Nice for the price. Sturdy, easy to put together with a little bit of common sense! At first I was concerned about the screws sticking out on the outside of the cabinet but (to me) it's better than those fake wood stickers that cover the screw holes! They add something nice to the look. I also like the fact that each back panel is separate for each shelf instead of all one piece that could bow thru time. I would purchase them again!

Missing screws to put together in both boxes. I was not going to wait to get them I knew I was going to give a bad review because of this. I purchased the screws at home depot. Besides that the shelves came out great. I would recommend this product if I new that everything would be in the packaging. I mean for one box is a mistake but I ordered two and got both instruction papers and both stated that it came with it.

Shelves are fairly sturdy, but I had not realized that they are not adjustable

The book shelf was beautiful looking, sturdy, and very easy to assemble! I would recommend this product to anyone who needs a bookshelf! Charmaine M.

Very cheap materials. One side of the shelving was not painted. I painted it. Back of cabinet was painted cardboard. Light weight for sure. I had to add more structure to install onto the wall properly.

This shelff comes with pre drilled holes in all the shelves and mine were all crooked and not just a little bit. Every shelf is unlevel and the shelf itself wobbles when standing

It was broken, both sides were broken in half very disappointing I returned it.

Once put together it was slightly heavier than I thought, but very sturdy! Was still able to easily slide into place. I used it as a makeshift pantry in my studio apartment and it works great. It can hold a lot of food!

This shelving unit is rather flimsy compared to my other shelves. It was just the right size needed and that is why I bought it. Each shelf is stationary and are screwed in from the side, so all screws show!!! I now have to get some paint to cover the screws. If they were going to have screws show on the side the manufacturer could have at least put white ones in. A bit disappointed in this cabinet.

The top and bottom shelf were missing from the order. Took over two weeks to receive the missing parts. Areas of "wood " are nicked. Easy to assemble but I would not recommend this item.
