Shelf was way better then I expected. Instructions and part labeling was excellent and easy to follow.

The bookcase is a solid, high-quality piece of furniture. The base and the top, along with the doors and trim, are all preassembled so that there is no tricky trim attachment to do in the build. The trim is solid wood and the surfaces all appear to be real wood ply, so the finishes match and the construction is solid. The back sheets on this case are much thicker and higher quality than normally seen in shelves like this.
The shelves each have three height positions, but in the center positions each of the three shelves will hold full-size three-ring binders.
The drawer went together more easily than expected and rolls smoothly. The drawer holds two sets of letter-size hanging folders side by side.
This was one of the most complex flat-pack furniture builds I have done in some time. The process was straightforward and logical, and the instructions were very clear, but it took about 2 hours to assemble by myself. The only problem was that the predrilled holes for the screws (yes, screws!) that hold the back panel on were very close to the inside of the side panels, and a couple caused the wood of the side to pop out. The pieces are well-packed, coming in two boxes with lots of cushioning. I had two large trash bags full of foam polystyrene left over!

This beautiful natural wooden bookcase in a Smokey Brown finish also has a long-lasting protective coating, and is all that I hoped it would be. I understand that all natural wood changes with age, and can darken in appearance. It is clearly a good match for all of my dark furniture. This is quite easy to clean with just a slightly dampened cloth, and requires no waxing. Very well designed, and provides so much additional storage area, which I certainly appreciate. The added built in file drawers accommodate full legal size files and documents. I highly recommend this beautiful Royce bookcase to all interested Home Depot shoppers. Overall measurements are 39" x 14" x 72".
The bookcase smelt really bad. I have kept the window open for a few days.

pretty and sturdy, just hard to assemble
I would still recommend this furniture even though it was hard to assemble the back panel. It could not fit! Also, when you put the screws in, make sure to go easy.. i got a few damaged spots on rhe wood becuase the screw damaged the wood a bit. But orverall, i would still recommend it as it is pretty and it does not look cheap
I was looking for a white office set and the price point for this collection was great. This isn't "white" its solidly a cream color, it's still pretty but don't expect a white piece of furniture. This is a monster to put together and the desk is even worse. If you're not handy you may want to hire someone. That said, for a flat pack from China, put together yourself furniture, the quality is decent. The price varies on these pieces often so keep an eye out.
Cute but oh my goodness!Directions make no sense & some of the pieces don’t fit! It ended up working out as a cute little bookshelf for my daughters roomI guess you get what you pay for.

Very Happy with these book shelves!
I really love these book shelves with so much storage room at the bottom drawers..I bought the desk and now have great set of two book shelves to match...Well made and not that hard to assemble! Next order will be the two door file cabinet...What a good value when I got them on sell too!!
The design of this item is wonderful and it seemed very solid on viewing it in the packaging. The color is not white. Description would be a slightly greyed shade of ivory. Would be lovely in today's greige interiors but unfortunately will not work with the other truly white colors in my other built-ins and trim.

I ordered two of these units which arrived on time at the store for pickup. As another reviewer stated, there were tons of styrofoam in the packing, which was a good thing as all pieces were in pristine condition. Parts were well marked, and instructions were clear. Finished units are sturdy (appreciate the thicker than normal backing which was attached with screws, not nails). It took two of us, one very experienced, about 2.5 hours to assemble the first but a bit over an hour on the second. I paid full price for them (couldn't wait any longer) and, of course, they went on sale before I picked them up. Luck of the draw. I do recommend these cabinets.

Looks and works great. High quality. Never thought it would take so long to put together a bookcase but it was worth it. Nice piece of furniture. The file drawer was a nice surprise. This isn’t IKEA folks, it’s real furniture.

Great products but doors didn't match on one of them. Attempted to call and no one answered. Would like to get replacement doors or at least percentage off my purchase. But otherwise, this product is all I can ask for in a great wood design. It lives eloquently in my living room

First purchased 06/20. Defective. Took until 10/16/20 for them to pick back up. Had to reorder. Delivered 11/11/20. Putting together today. Been at it since 10:30 am...it is now 1:30 pm...only on step 4 of 13. I would rather sit in the corner and eat a can of worms. I will NEVER try a ridiculous stunt like this ever again! I offered to pay more for assembly...they are smart, as they DO NOT OFFER THIS! I can see why...nobody in their right mind would take that job. It is anybodys guess if I will have this done by bedtime. Wish me luck!

The bookcase came very well packaged. None of the parts had any blemishes. The instructions were very well laid out and easy to follow. I also appreciated that many of the parts included their part letter and directional arrows to help determine the correct orientation. I've received a number of compliments on it and would buy it again.

There is no way this is worth $500. This is okay but so is stuff for $250 which is near where I would put its value. The "panel" on the door is not a raised panel but a thin 1/4", or less, plywood. The color in the pictures is in my opinion incorrect. It's solid brown, no hint of red. I bought it on sale for $300 so I'll keep it but at $500 forget it. The coped details, like the crown molding, are not real wood but painted end cuts of pressed particle boards. This is typical cheap stuff but with a high price tag. Not what I wanted. Quality has a value that shows up in person, that is what I was hoping for.

It came completely unassembled, so make sure you have the time and tools to put it together. Very nice when assembled.
