Customer Reviews for Sandusky 42 in. Putty Metal 3-shelf Standard Bookcase with Adjustable Shelves

When I went to pick up I thought the wheels were not attached, but they were. I had to rethink my plans for pick-up but I am happy with the item !

Bookcases are a nice light grey that matches with my filing cabinet. Can roll them around easily when loaded with books. Good buy!

Just what our school was looking for! The wheel base comes unattached and you just set the shelf on and there are clips that hold it together. Delivery was free!

The bookcase I received appears to be a cabinet without the doors as it has holes for the door. It took quite awhile for me to receive it so I am making the best of it. It would be a hassle to exchange it.

Came quickly and was packaged well. Directions could be a little better, but it wasn't too hard to figure out.

Overall sturdy construction but one shelf came in a little bit warped. Hopefully over time with weight on it it will get better.

I like the configuration and that I can manually adjust the shelf heights. There is one problem. It is difficult to keep the shelf squarely in the base. I will get some self tapping screws and solve that issue. I would still give this a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Easy to put on the base and we love that it is on wheels and easy to move

We were a bit surprised that the wheels are on a tray and that the bookcase goes on this tray. We fastened the bookcase to the tray with a drill and some screws. It's kind of heavy to move with heavy books in it but we can move it. Whoever delivered it did a fantastic job as there was no damage. We are very happy with this purchase!

This bookcase looks nice from the picture. But the reality is it is of very low quality, made of paper-thin sheet metal, easily bendable. Home Depot delivered one with lots of cracks. And of course you would not realize it until after you hauled it inside and unpacked everything and decided to assemble. Some minor bents may be fixable, but with cracks and peeled-off paints, this bookcase looks terrible! To return it, one would have to put everything back into the dirty and broken paper cardboard package, and that's a headache. Very disappointed!

This bookcase matches my file cabinet. My last bookcase fell apart because the shelves could not withstand the weight, which this bookcase does.

Fit what I need. What I like most is that it came assembled already. Sad it is not Made in the USA (that's why one star off).

Received the cart in a timely manner. The cart appears to be slightly twisted (as it looks like it is leaning a little more to one side); it also has a small area where the paint is cracking on its one side, and also a little chip of paint off on its other side. This is most likely a manufacturing flaw. Other than that, it is functional.

Almost all of the shelves had damage. Some bad enough to buckle the paint.

Fully assembled and very sturdy. It fits perfectly in a small space

No, it doesn’t meet my expectations, as described and priced I expected it to be 46” wide not tall.. plus and this is a big big plus, this unit can be had for almost $100.00 cheaper from a different supplier and they ship to to your house for free..

Great quality. Exactly what I was i looking for—maybe even better.

This is perfect for what I wanted...in the kitchen to house my collection of cookbooks. Love it’s mobility...easy to roll to another location to clean under it. I’ve decided that all furniture/storage unit I buy in the future will have wheels!

I am a retired librarian and this is the type of mobile bookcase we used in the library. It was already assembled and ready to use. The price on the black mobile bookcase, at Home Depot, was better than any school library catalog price. I am using it during home renovations for my book collection.

This thing is built like a tank. Extremely solid, rolls easily, and gives my wife's study a little bit of that library vibe we were looking for!

seemed flimsy will be returning it

It's wonderful. Exactly what I wanted and a perfect fit for the reading nook I'm creating in my home.
