Really nice display shelves for great price
I use this as a display shelf for dolls. It was not easy to put together – but that wasn’t a problem because I let my husband do it. It’s a great size, the varying depth of selves is perfect for different sizes of dolls and it looks great.

Pay attention to detail
So we just had this delivered, actually pretty sturdy and it fit perfectly in my wifeâs officeâ¦â¦with that being said thoughâ¦.we had the upper left outside piece was incorrectly put together. I was able to get it together without any issue but had to drill 2 new holes in order to put together. This really isnât that big of a deal and we decided to fix it ourselves to not have to return and wait for another oneâ¦.because the piece was incorrectly put together there are holes showing on the outside of the upper left piece it just 2 holes not the other 2 because those are on the insideâ¦.just need to pay attention to detail at the manufacture but I get it mistakes happenâ¦.my wife likes it and it looks good in her office for some decorationsâ¦

This cute shelf is the WORST thing EVER!
1 Star – for it being cute. But the person who engineered this, and also whoever wrote the instructions at Amazon should literally be FIRED. Let me start this by saying I’ve successfully built and installed MANY different IKEA pieces, including an ENTIRE KITCHEN. This Amazon Basics shelf makes IKEA furniture look magical and like little elves probably came and built the IKEA piece for you because it was so easy. ***If you have problems putting IKEA furniture together, STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!!*****This dumb shelf took me an HOUR to put together because it is so STUPIDLY designed. First of all, to whoever wrote the instructions, Step 3 should be Step 1! That would have made things way easier, but more on that later. To the idiot who engineered this piece of junk (which by the way, the finish is junk and chipping at all the edges), you NEVER, ever, require the use of an Alan Wrench on something large that needs to be built flat. I guarantee that the majority of people are going to be building this on the floor (given not may people have a giant work table just laying around (as I can only assume the builders at Amazon had when designing this). So the first steps are basically impossible unless you sit with the shelf in your lap to turn the Alan Wrench.Now where Step 3 should be 1. If you see this, put those weird ‘screw dowel things’ in first, otherwise you will have NO room to turn a screwdriver (see my one photo of how tight it is). This problem made things go WAY slower than needed. Or use a tiny handle screwdriver, which will cause its own issues.The metal screw ‘catch’ things you are so used to in IKEA furniture is used in this shelf as well, but unlike IKEA, none of these want to go in. I had to force 90% of them in, and one just never would go in (I tried several), so who knows if my shelf will stay together. Nothing fits well, and there was a lot of ‘forcing’ happening. I was literally sweating on a 60 degree day because it was so hard to put this thing together.One would think the process would get easier as you go, but no, just more frustrations. The shelves, which have no indication of front or back (either on the piece or the instructions), if they are put in wrong (which you won’t know until the end) you won’t be able to screw in the shelf supports because a hole will be missing…. not that the holes line up in the right spot even when you do have the shelf the right direction.They put labeling stickers on the shelf pieces, and they couldn’t even bother putting them in spots that wouldn’t show… or using stickers that would peel off.If you can find a similar shelf that’s even $100 and EASIER to put together, I say go with that. Literally so frustrated at this shelf.

Nice for the price
Absolutely love it, it took awhile to put it together but it turned out to be super cute. It was taller than I thought. At least 5 ft. Which is perfect.

Great buy on sale. Looks nice and serves its purpose well
Got this on a great deal they had. Pretty solid construction given the price. Looks nice. Upper two shelves are not that big but can still be used for smaller decorations.

Functional and stable shelf with an incredibly frustrating building experience
I rarely, if ever write product reviews, but I felt compelled to do so for this shelf. It arrived with a few nicks and scrapes on the wood pieces itself, which seems unavoidable in flat-packed furniture, and with a somewhat uneven veneer, as shown in the photos. The instructions are all picture based and the hardware could use a bit clearer instructions, but was overall easy to follow. The biggest issue that I had, and my reason for writing the review, was with the small metal brackets that attach the front of the shelf to the frame. The screw holes are too small for the provided screws, meaning a significant amount of torque and pressure is required to drive them in. However, since they are close to the shelf, it is impossible to use a power tool and I had to hand turn them a quarter turn at a time, which turned what should have been a 30-45 minute build job into 2 hours. On top of that, I managed to strip multiple screws, one so badly that I can’t seat it fully. Since I spent so much time to build it, I don’t plan on returning it…not that I could take it apart because of all those stripped screws.

Bellissima, meravigliosa Bla Bla Bla…à veramente bella e solida ma …Io vorrei conoscere, uno per uno, quei fenomeni che hanno scritto â facile e VELOCE da montareâ oppure meglioâmontata in 5 minutiâ. Gente, palesatevi perché voglio sapere che vi mangiate la mattina..o se câè qualcosa nellâacqua o nellâaria. Io ho 22 anni e abito da sola, mobili vari me li monto e trasporto da sola, ma ho iniziato a montarla alle 19.00 ed ho finito alle 22.07 con lâaggiunta di molte colorite espressioni di accompagnamento. Poi per altro, ora ho più vesciche che mani. Bella, eh…ma la prossima volta me la vengono a montare i Beep Beep delle recensioni.

This shelf was a good price, arrived quickly, and was easy to put together. The shelf looks good and it perfect for putting up pictures and small items. It’s not really suitable for a bookshelf but a couple of the shelves are big enough to place books on if you like. The design makes it easy to put almost anywhere and it doesn’t take up a lot of space.

J’adore, facile à monter. OriginalPour la solidité à voir avec le temps mais il me paraît bien solide.

Delighted with how this turned out! It is so sturdy and looks amazing. The only problem is it took me ages to put together. There is about 12 different variations of screws and bits and bobs. There is something like 110 screws and bits. Maybe itâs just me because Iâm not very handy, but this took me about 4 hours in total to put together. Also you need a screwdriver which they donât tell you in the description. If you want to wall mount it youâll need a drill.

Wir haben dieses Regal im Badezimmer stehen und sind wirklich sehr zufrieden damit. Der Aufbau war nicht schwer und die Qualität ist auch wirklich super! Wir haben es nun schon ungefähr ein Jahr im Badezimmer stehen und es sind noch keine Probleme wegen der Feuchtigkeit aufgetreten. Wir können dieses Produkt ganz klar empfehlen!
