Legare 59-Inch-by-18-Inch Bookcase, White

I was looking for a desk and bookcase for my home office when I came across this Legare furniture. I also needed a smaller bookcase for my daughter's room, and this looked to be the ideal fit, since I was looking for something in white to match her room, and the style of this bookcase seemed so much cooler than most. Part of the appeal of this furniture is that you don't need any tools to assemble it. There are also videos showing a kid assembling one of these bookcases in a couple minutes, which I thought was pretty impressive. But when something gets put together as if you're building a house made of Lincoln Logs, you can't help but wonder how solid it's going to be. But after reading all the positive reviews on their other bookcase (the 59" x 31") and their desk, I decided to buy this and the other two pieces.I received this one first, so I was very curious if assembly was really as easy as the video made it look. And, honestly, it was. OK, so maybe it took me five minutes instead of two, but it is really ridiculous how incredibly easy it is to assemble these things. But is it solid? Incredibly, yes. Once it's assembled, it's locked in there. And the materials themselves are solid, so this isn't flimsy furniture. But this definitely isn't a gimmick that just falls apart when you touch it. This is a very good bookshelf and it does look very cool sitting in my daughter's room. The one thing I will say, though, is to use the anchor that comes with the bookshelf. It's a plastic tether that you can anchor into your wall, which I would recommend. As with anything tall and narrow, it would be easy to pull it over. And the fact that they include the anchor, along with a loop on the back of the unit, is a very nice touch.**On a side note, assembling the desk and the larger bookcase was just as easy, and both are very solid. I'm very impressed with Legare furniture.

sturdy and well made. A little tough to put together. Although it requires no tools, you sort of need two people because the pieces set together and then stay that way from pressure, but only once it is standing up.

Very nice and easy to build.
