Ecellent Shelving System

2008-04-12
We just purchased our third of these (there are over 350 books in our home). Every time we have ordered one, it has come well packed in layers of Styrofoam and has been simple to put together. The shelves are quite sturdy, each of our three holds at least 100 books of varying sizes.

The only problem with these shelves is that they leave marks on the wall if you have to move/straighten them. This usually only happens when first putting up the shelves and initially positioning them, as they stay in place quite well when set up and full of books.

Also, Amazon tends to put these shelves on sale every so often, so you can usually pick one up for under $65 with shipping included, if you wait for the right time.

Purchased for AtHomeMart--WONDERFUL!

I purchased this shelf from AtHomeMart, and am extremely happy with the product. It arrived well packaged (almost over kill on the Styrofoam if you ask me...) and went together amazingly easy. I put it together by myself in maybe twenty minutes, I didn't even need to look at the instructions!

There are only two things I can say that are the least bit negative about this product... One, I'm very sad it didn't come in an espresso finish, none of my other furniture is black. And two, I was not aware that the height of the shelf would be in two pieces. This is really not noticeable, it just was not what I was expecting. I was expecting the side pieces to be one solid long piece, but they are actually two smaller pieces you set together. Once together, they are very secure and the seam isn't terribly noticeable.

All in all, I think this is a wonderful shelf. It looks great in my living room, is very sturdy, and (I feel) very well constructed. I would definitely recommend this product, especially for the price.

I wanted one of these since they first came out. This particular brand is nice and sturdy and easy to assemble. Worth the buy.

Satisfied w/ my purchase

This bookshelf was well worth the money compared to other bookshelves. I looked in stores, catalogs and the internet. most other black ones where $400-1000. assembly was easy for me. it wasn't perfect but for the money it was really good and the free shipping was even better.

I returned the item

This item was falling apart before I even pulled it out of the box. It was cheaply put together with nails which were loose and could've easily cut someone. Your vendor should have the product back by now and I'm expecting a full refund credited to my amazon account.

Happy with my purchase!

Black latter bookshelve

2007-03-15
I have been looking for a ladder bookshelve for over a year and couldn't find any in person at a store that didn't look bulky or have way too high of a price tag. I wish I had ordered these sooner because they were exactly what I was looking for. They have a very low profile so they fit in my space nicely, yet they display a lot of items. The instructions said it would take 2 people to put together, but I was able to put it together myself with no problem (Think Ikea like connections). Overall it was the quality I expected and it looks exactly like it was pictured so I was very pleased. Delivery was quick and it came exactly when promised.
