5-layer

I looooooveeee it. It’s perfect. Everything was included, and the gloves are *necessary*. It also came with a small bit of sandpaper, but I would suggest getting more.Was very easy assemble as well! The 6-tier one is very tall, probably 7 ft or a bit taller.

The media could not be loaded. I was looking for a tall unit to add height in the corner and functionally hold music and crafting books for my creation studio (mom’s room).It only took about an hour to assemble. I watched the video and that helped. I chose to alternate the bookend pieces. The pieces can flip to do this but it has to be done when you place the layers, not at the end. Three screws were missing, but I replaced them with wood screws. Because the screw holes were predrilled it worked out perfectly. They included a sanding disc to sand the edges. I ended up sanding everything with my palm sander before assembly. Because the grain wasn’t aligned correctly on some of the edges (I show this in the last two pictures) they were only nominally improved with sanding.The package included cotton knit gloves and a plastic doily for the top. The gloves came in handy to prevent splinters before sanding. The doily looks cheap and a veneer piece would have more professionally finished the top. No one is tall enough to see the top of mine so I’m not worried.I wouldn’t treat it like a bookcases that can be anchored and fully load it with books. I felt much more comfortable with having a mixture of books and items to balance it and keep it from being tippy. It feels sturdy, the revolution is smooth.I’m overall pleased, I just wish that a little more attention was given to detail so that I could have left a five star review.

Very nice

It was a battle to assemble this. The pictures with the directions were too small to distinguish the pieces and which went with what. To improve this, just label the pieces, A, B, C, etc. A1, A2, etc go together etc. would save a lot of confusion and assembling snd disassembling.

I got the 5 tiered one for my daughter's room. This was fairly easy to put together and holds way more books than I expected (including big picture books). The tabs were broken off a bunch of the bookend pieces (about half of them) but they are still usable bc you screw them in. I just found that annoying since the shelf wasn't super cheap. Also, I will have to sand parts of it bc they are rough and I don't want her getting splinters. Overall, I'm happy with it for a shelf in my tween daughter's room. However, as a former teacher, I wouldn't put this in a classroom bc there's no way to anchor it and if it gets bumped into or pulled on it will tip. Also, put the bookends on last and start at the top otherwise it's tricky to fit the Allen wrench under to screw it in on the bottom.

Did not come with enough screws, pain to go to hardware store during assembly. Also directions nit entirely clear. Could use a rewrite. One sideboard peg broken and we had to glue. Wish I knew wood was unfinished. Now we have to sand and protect. What a pain.

OMFG. I love this bookshelf 😂 it’s like actual wood. You could sand it and stain it or paint it or leave it as it is. I got the 6 tier one and this thing is SO BIG! I’m 5’6 and it goes beyond me. The legs have nice grippers so it’s pretty sturdy. DEFFFF recommend. Very easy to put together. Did it myself in like 45 mins ish.
