Sauder Miscellaneous Storage 5-Shelf Bookcase/ Book shelf, Washington Cherry finish

Excellent quality!
Excellent book case! Very easy to put together, just follow the step by step instructions. Outstanding quality! Looks like it would have cost $500 or more. The Amazon price was only $180 when we purchased it. We highly recommend this if you are looking for an inexpensive, sturdy, good looking book case for your home.

Good, not perfect. Assembly was pretty tedious.
For the price, this bookcase is a decent purchase. I’m a grad student — i.e., living off a very meager stipend for the foreseeable future, and in possession of hundreds of books (and always counting) — so after comparing this item to a few other comparable choices on Amazon, I ultimately went with this option because of its aesthetic features and (relatively) reasonable price tag. That being said, it was more difficult than most other self-assembly furniture pieces I’ve bought and put together. I live alone, and can say that this item would have been a lot easier to manage with a second person there to help (both to assemble it and to subsequently move/drag it all over my office while I decided where to place it). Moreover, about half the pieces included (panels, shelving parts, molding features, etc.) were not labeled as the instruction manual indicated they ought to be — they weren’t incorrectly labeled, just lacking any label to begin with, and not all the pieces had this problem, which I found odd. It thus was a far more tedious and time-consuming process to assemble the bookcase following the instructions provided, since I had to do a lot of extra double-checking and measuring to make sure I was using the correct piece before I could attach the hardware or make any other major moves toward progress. It’s also, being now fully assembled, way less sturdy than I’d anticipated based on prior reviews and the item’s listing description. It shifts horizontally, slightly, if I touch a particular side panel (and no, it is not due to improperly affixed hardware or other such user error—when putting this type of furniture piece together, I am always conscientious of making sure every single part is assembled together safely and per the instructions provided, using the proper tools, etc. I literally cannot afford to accidentally break a part, or misalign a screw or something and ruin the entire piece!). It stands upright in such a way that I am not worried about it tipping over forward, but my house is also quite old, with uneven floors throughout, it probably doesn’t hurt that the bookcase is on a carpeted floor; I will have to be continuously checking on this item’s sturdiness as time goes on and it has to withstand actual book weight, as I’m still uncertain if it will end up getting to be an “investment” item for me or not (that is, if it will be among the large pieces of 100% necessary and functional but also extremely difficult to move furniture that I still decide/am able to take with me when I move cities again in a few years, or, on the other hand, if it will essentially have to become included with the house, because it didn’t prove worth attempting to move it down the stairs and into a new home, won’t actually fit down the weird staircase here in the first place — I will not be disassembling it in order to relocate and then reassemble it, for obvious reasons — and/or it hasn’t held up over time, so would be easier just to replace altogether, despite the extra money that would require).TL;DR: It’s fine. It looks nicer than it is (and to a more remarkable/mentionable extent than other, similar self-assembled items I’ve either built or seen in the past, in that it looks significantly nicer than most furniture of this type, but doesn’t seem to turn out quite as durable or sturdy as the pieces which are less aesthetically appealing). I don’t know if I would buy it again, but it will work fine for the particular need I have of it. **Warning to anyone not terribly keen on and/or skilled at tackling self-assembled furniture: The bookcase I received had parts which were missing the labels they were evidently supposed to have based on the instruction manual’s descriptions and illustrations. Some of the issues were quickly non issues because the part or piece in question was the only one of its type included, but at other times I had some trouble differentiating between certain parts/pieces that were only a tiny bit distinct in terms of their shapes/measurements/etc. Be prepared for this to happen to you too, I guess!**

組立大変だった。二人以上で。出来上がりは、素晴らしい特に木肌の色が何ともいえない。

Pésimo empacado! Producto de mediana calidad.
