Furinno Jaya Book Shelf, 5-Tier Bookshelf, Bookcase with Adjustable Shelves, 9.5 x 24.5 x 71.2, for Organization and Storage, for Living Room, Bedroom, Home Office, White

Over the years, with kids, jobs, etc - I've purchased several "assembly needed shelving units" - for dorms, bedrooms, makeshift libraries - you name it. I've bought the name brand ones at the Scandinavian store, I've purchased the cheapest ones at the chain Mart stores and several shops in between. I say all of this to explain, I've seen and assembled more than my fair share of shelving units to be able to state that hands down - these are the best. For starters, the packaging alone shows they've applied some thought. There are disposable, plastic bumpers on all of the corners - you know the corners that even when you purchase a unit at a local store and bring it home yourself 9 times out of 10 there's a corner that has exposed pressed board...they've packaged their units in a way that all but prevents any cracked corners, chunks missing, etc. Score a huge win right there alone. The other thoughtful idea that I've only seen one other time (and paid extra for) is the inclusion of wall mounts to prevent the unit from falling forward. Again, huge win! The assembly is just as mind-numbing as any other unit, decent instructions, nothing really to say here. One part that was a drawback, perhaps, is that each shelf is designed to hold at most 20 pounds - they spell this out for you. I say it is perhaps a drawback, because I don't know how that compares. I've never seen another shelving unit indicate the weight per shelf, so perhaps this is the norm. I will say I've more than that weight on a few shelves and there's no apparent sagging or bowing (yet?). I have a slight complaint about the backing boards included, as that they have been over-creased - for lack of another description - in that when I unfolded one to nail it into place, it became two sheets instead of one. Last complaint is the knobs to lay the shelves into place are plastic and either slide in with far too much ease, or don't fit at all and must be tapped in with a hammer - which means hope you like the position of those shelves as they will never be re-arranged again. Overall, my two small complaints aside, these are a great value for the price and the best you'll find in any price range.

I have gained some significant experience with building particleboard bookcases after multiple moves over the past decade. Since particleboard furniture doesn't tend to survive a move very well, I have bought and built new bookcases each time I moved for medical school, residency, fellowship, and two jobs. This is by far the worst experience I have had with a set of particleboard bookcases. In the past, I have bought similar particleboard bookcases from Walmart and assembled them in each new apartment I've lived in. Those are fairly cheap like these, and again, suitable for use in one apartment without it being a big deal to chuck them when I move out. Even without the instructions for how to build the bookcases, once you've built a few of them, assembly of subsequent bookcases goes pretty fast. So what went wrong this time? 1) As others have mentioned, the pieces of both bookcases arrived broken, chipped, and in generally poor condition. The boxes themselves were fine, so I do not think the poor condition of the bookcase parts was due to rough handling during shipping. 2) As others have mentioned, there were NO labels on any of the pieces except for one crossbar. This is not an accident in one box; I opened the second box as well, and none of those pieces was labeled either. 3) The workmanship in general was very flimsy and poor quality. I was unable to assemble the bookcase and have it stay together with just the hardware provided. I tried super gluing the pieces together to reinforce the bookshelf, but this still wasn't sufficient to keep the bookcase together. It kept collapsing even after multiple attempts to reinforce the assembly. This was WITHOUT any books or anything else placed on it. Had I never assembled a bookcase before, it might be fair to make a case that maybe it was me, not them. But I finally had to concede that trying to put these bookcases together is simply not going to happen. After several hours of frustration and attempting to build the bookcases in spite of the problems with them, I gave up and contacted Amazon for a return. I wound up going to Target and buying a pair of their similarly priced particleboard bookcases, which were of much better quality/condition and were easy to assemble, similar to the Walmart bookcases I have used in the past. These are now in the living room of my new apartment, and they look great. In general, I love Amazon, and I very rarely give anything a one star review (this may in fact be my first). But I thought that you (my fellow customers), as well as Amazon, needed to know just how poor quality this item really is. It is definitely not up to Amazon's usual standard for the items it sells. I would highly recommend that if you are looking for an economically priced particleboard bookcase, you should buy it from Target or Walmart instead of buying this one.

Bought this on a sale and with a gift card. It is wonderful! It looks so expensive and I get a lot of compliments for it. It’s durable and holds many books. Putting it together was not my responsibility however it seemed easy for the person doing it for me. Follow instructions and you’re good to go. Love it!

Good quality and easy to assemble

Makkelijk in elkaar te zetten en goed stevig. Trekt met enorm veel stof aan

Compré 2 Enserio los amé, para el precio podrías comprar de esos que están en la calle pero traen termitas o insectos, pero estos vienen limpios, color bonito, obvio no son macizos como si compraras de madera cara, pero para el precio la calidad supera mucho la expectativa, el fondo si venía un poco dañado pero repito por el precio pues pone una cinta por detrás y listo, los recomiendo 100% De hecho pedí un tercero

I snagged this for a really great price. Its a bit wobbly due to its height and thin wood, but for under $40, I cant complain at all. It holds my boardgames just fine. If they had put a solid back on it, that might have helped with stability. Its not super sturdy but as long as you avoid climbing on it, or overloading it with heavy stuff, it will work fine. I would advide this bookshelf be more for light stuff instead of a bunch of big heavy books. Boardgames or craft supplies would be my recommendation. Maybe to display a few art pieces

There's a broken plate so I haven't started assembling the shelf.
