Casual Home100% Solid Wood 5-Shelf Ladder Bookcase, 24.75"W x 16"D x 72"H, White, 5-Tier Freestanding Ladder Shelf

This was easier to put together than I expected, looks great in my room and seems sturdy and reliable. Love it.

The Casual Home 5-Shelf Ladder Bookcase is a simple and attractive bookshelf that adds a delightful point of interest to a room while displaying books and other decorative items. The shelf is easy to assemble, has a nice sturdy feel to it, and has "steps" that are wide enough to hold many items. I was able to assemble the shelf by myself within an hour - it probably would've taken less time had I not been on the phone chatting - and once assembled, it looks simple but beautiful. I love how the wood feels sturdy and is evenly stained with no blemishes, dents, or dings in the wood, and how durable to shelf feels. It is free-standing, so it's not necessary to lean up against the wall, and it comes with straps to attract it to a wall to avoid tippage or the chance of it falling over, which is great for people who live in earthquake country as I do. The color is as rich and pretty as it is in the stock photo and each shelf is durable enough to hold a good number of decor pieces and books. Overall, it's a great shelf to consider if you are looking for a non-boxy-looking shelf to fill a small space.

good quality, really easy to build

One star off since some of the wood was poorly cut/missing an edge. Screws were a little hard to get in but the instructions made sense. Still a beautiful piece for the price!!!

Really excited about this solid wood ladder shelf. It was easy to put together and evened out after resting overnight. One screw hole did crack, but it hasn’t affected the sturdiness. Added felt pads on the feet so I can move and clean it easily. Definitely a good buy!

Such a beautiful color! The Espresso is a deep, dark rich brown. Almost like dark chocolate. The shelf arrived with all pieces intact, no damage. Very high quality piece of furniture for an online purchase. So easy to put together, as clear instructions provided. The unit was assembled in about 20 min even with using the allen wrench. The only smell I noticed was the wood, nothing foul requiring airing out. Using this unit to display some antique bears. Everything fits perfectly and while the bears do not not haveuch weight, the unit is sturdy and easy to move around. Thus far, very happy with the performance and appearance of this ladder shelf. Loving this purchase!

Love this shelf! It's perfect for all my plants and is a beautiful addition to my home. It took less than 30 minutes to put together by myself. The needed allen wrench is included, but you'll need a Philips head for the small brackets that hold the top and bottom portion together. The shelf is very stable and I wouldn't be afraid of it tipping over or anything.In a very bright light, it has a reddish tint, but is not as red as it appears in my picture.FYI for fellow planters: only the front half of the bottom two shelves gets light from my grow light since the rest are covered by the upper shelves, but it works fine for me.Overall, a great value for $78.My only concern is that the top and bottom halves are only held together by the two small brackets that are attached only on the back of the shelf. If you were to try to lift the shelf by the upper half, it would probably separate from the bottom portion. Whenever I need to move the shelf, I work around this by consciensciously grabbing it by the bottom half, but this might bother some people.

I love this shelf, I bought it with the corner shelf too. It's exactly what I wanted, self supporting, nice looking, holds enough books and pictures, etc that I bought it for and looks great in my living room! Would recommend.
