This wasn't as easy to assemble as I thought it would be based on the items I unboxed (just shelves, screws, and button tacks for the bottom). It took some trial and error to align the screws correctly doing it by myself--definitely should be easier if you have help. Overall, however, happy with the end result. Feels and looks sturdy, no scratches or defects with any of the parts, color (espresso) was as I expected, and looks pretty good in my dining room where I'm using it to hold some extra items I used to keep on the counter.

This is a great little shelf (I've purchased four of them!). Because it has a flat bottom (rather than resting on legs), I've used them to rest on top of bookcases to add some additional space for books. Easy to assemble, sturdy, looks surprisingly good for the price.

Dafür das es einen doch recht ordentlich Preis hat, hat das Regal eine unerwartet schlechte Verarbeitung.Bei mir steht es nur im Eck deshalb fallen die Details dann nicht so auf aber ich war beim auspacken doch ein wenig enttäuscht.

Ist absolut nicht zu empfehlen! Bricht schon beim zusammenbauen auseinander!

It was very easy to figure out how to build. An edge piece chipped a little in the process and an extra screw would have been nice. I bent one while putting it in. That's an easy fix though. Now I have a mini shelf to hold my diffuser and other little nick nacks. Thanks amazon. Also side note great shelf to have for a guest charging surface.Even with out extra building material I'll still rate it as a 5 start.

Not sure why this has so many bad reviews. Maybe I was lucky. Package came a bit banged up, but all the pieces Inside were fine. I had it fully assembled in maybe 20 minutes, by myself. I needed my bottom shelf to be just slightly wider than it is, so I added some washers. Works perfectly for what I wanted it for - to store my cutting machines. Sewing machine on top, Cameo in the middle and Cameo 3 on the bottom. All can be pulled out and used as needed. Cameo 3 was a perfect fit, with the dust cover. I just wanted a little more space, hence adding the washers. Overall I’m very happy with this purchase!

I found it to be exactly what I wanted and it met my expectations for quality

This arrived today and I immediately put it together. I was worried about the height since my bed is high but after adding the shelf riser that I purchased separately, my 32 inch tv sits perfectly on it height wise. What helped me decide on this is that I read the previous reviews and saw photos that were very helpful and that is why I am taking the time to do this as well. I don’t know how sturdy it will be over time but I don’t plan on rattling it just to prove a point 😁. The items that I’ve placed on the bottom shelves seem to help with keeping it stable and not toppling over. For the price point I am very happy with this purchase so far.

I bought as an addition to another unit I purchased for my TV, etc. Looks great. Not easiest to put together and not hardest, but did take a little more time. Arrived in perfect condition and seems very sturdy. Great value for a nice smaller shelf.

After being an expert building Ikea products this was fairly easy to put together I did not even have to read the instructions. It went together quickly and with these with my power screwdriver. It definitely is significantly lower quality than anything I have bought from Ikea. There was a small dent in one place a crack over here and a few places where the paint wasn't really covering everything. the problem is they assume that you're only going to be working at it from One Direction so they don't work on making the other angles perfect and they were not perfect but at least in my case they are correct I'm only going to look at it from that One Direction.

Exactly what I wanted. The wood came undamaged and the medium size I ordered was the perfect height to fit beside my computer desk.

The packaging left something to be desired. The box was all crumpled like it had been buried in the back of a warehouse for years. The styrofoam had deteriorated, covering everything inside with so much dust that I initially thought the veneer had faded. However, I wiped the wood down with a damp cloth and it was all good. The styrofoam did get everywhere, though. I had to sweep my entire floor afterwards.Assembly was quick and easy, though the screws seemed longer than they needed to be. Took 10-15 minutes to assemble. I noticed that some of the cuts to the wood looked imprecise and sloppy, but it all fit together nicely and looked good when finished. Still, it's something to keep an eye on.All said and done, it's an aesthetically pleasing, sturdy piece of furniture. I think the biggest criticism isn't with the bookcase itself, but in comparison to other ladder bookcases that are a little mire nicely designed. I would also note that the gap between the sides and the back don't lend itself to smaller books, but with some creativity, and/or decorative bookends, this isn't a problem.I'd give it 3 1/2 stars if I could.

I have my tv on a coffee table, and next to it, I have this small bookcase, filled with stuff. On the bottom row I have my Ps3, and controllers. On the middle I have my games all lined up, then my 3d glasses and headphones. On the top I permanently wired my Macbook pro charger to go to the corner, so I can charge my MBP with no wies showing. Then next to that I have my Ps Vita on its charging stand. This is very easy to assemble, looks great, and is very secure.
