HSH 4 Tier Black Bookshelf, Industrial Metal Wood Storage Book Shelves, Modern Open 4 Shelf Bookcase and Display Etagere, Vertical Book Shelf for Bedroom Living Room Office

Easy to put together I did it myself. I love this shelf. I did not put the middle shelf up so I could put tall plants on the shelf.

Exactly what I needed! We homeschool and I needed to organize our playroom and school/work area and this shelf is perfect. I ordered two, as we got the 4 shelves, in white. The frame is metal and wood shelves, and it's really sturdy. Since my little kiddos helped me build both shelves, it took about an hour, then I mounted them to the wall.

Amazing storage, quick to assemble and sturdy.

It was great fit for my living room, good quality & size.

I will start off by saying that I either lost the instructions or they were not included. Having said that, you don't really need them to build the shelves. If you've ever built furniture before, all of this is fairly easy. As always, make sure all the screw holes face the same way, don't tighten everything all the way or else some screw holes will be misaligned and it is possible to build alone. All tools are included, as well as spare screws etc in case you lose any.Now, in use, because of the number of screws and the x brace in the back of the shelf, it is sturdy. The bars connecting the two metal frame pieces also help. There's no weird smell, oily/glue residue, or feeling of cheapness but remember that the shelves, at this price, are not solid wood. From a far, they look great. Up close, they still look good but via touch, you can tell that though strong, the wood is not solid wood. If you don't mind that, then you're golden.Also be aware that the metal frame is actually four pieces, not two. Your 4 pieces will vary in length depending on the height of the shelf you ordered. I got the 4 shelf, so I had two shorter ends of the frame for the bottom portion to attach to the two top ends of the frame. No biggie for me but under direct light you will see the seams where the pieces join. I don't mind but you may.Without any of the shelves screwed into the metal frame, it's light enough to move around but if you start adding one or two of the shelves, it naturally becomes heavier. As I did not have instructions, I tend to build things like shelves upside down based on experience and gravity. I attached the short ends to the top portion of the frame while it was still inverted, then the 4 connecting bars and then the x brace last to complete the metal structure. At this point, still inverted.I should have then added at least one if not two of the shelves while the frame was still upside down. I could have used the wall or an object (clamp) the help me brace the upside down shelves but I didn't, my mistake. Why you may ask?Once the frame is right side up and you begin screwing the shelves down, the shelf that is now on the bottom level (remember, we're now right side up) only has a few inches of clearance. If you have a larger hand, you will need to either tilt the shelf sideways or have a smaller person get down there to screw that lowest shelf in place.All of which to say that the shelf isn't too shabby. I'm going to enjoy using it, and I won't cry if I ding or scratch the thing because it's not a fancy shelf that was hand carved and will end up in an auction one day.TL:DR. Looking for something sturdy, easy to build, and fairly fashionable. I get compliments on it all the time and the color is a nice grey that brightens up my otherwise burgundy colored desk and dark floors.

Love this bookshelf. Definitely can hold much weight. I want another ! It looks good. I got the tallest one & it is solid.

So easy to put together. Love the look and quality!!

First, I would like to state that I have purchased over the years numerous shelving units (on the less expensive spectrum) and often it takes little, if no time for the shelves to begin their "saggy shelf" look. Even though they have not stood the test of time, It appears that this will not be the case with these shelves. As for assembling the unit in the wee hours of the morning (insomnia :( ) I read the instructions (something I have learned over the years as being somewhat helpful if you are a "ADHD Tigger sort of person) ANYWAY the suggestion of using the cardboard box as "padding" to limit noise and damage to hard flooring was great as I am sure the inhabitant of the apartment below me would agree. The instructions DID say that two people were needed/recommended. Difficult to find if you are assembling it at 2 a.m. alone. That being said, one CAN do it alone, maybe not as easily but it is possible especially if one is really tired of their favorite books being in plastic totes. In summary, I am extremely pleased with the price, quality and ease of putting the unit together.
