Casual Home3-Shelf Folding Student Bookcase (20.75" Wide)-Espresso

SO glad to find these at Amazon for a reasonable price. Generally I've had to pay quite a bit more in the past for these ultra convenient, solid wood, fold-out bookshelves you just take out of the box and stand up! I needed just this one to put in an area near my piano where I work to keep books and music handy. The dimensions are ideal in that the shelves are narrow but will hold full size books. Perfect for smaller spaces, sturdy, and attractive light wood. Highly recommend these!

I really like the ease of set up. I didn’t have to put anything together. Just unfolded the sides and dropped down the shelves. Quality is a nice solid wood. Beautiful. Not too expensive. Price is decent for product.

These are sooooo much better than I ever expected them to be. I made sure to read every single review before purchasing these. Honestly, I was a bit nervous based on some of the reviews, so we only ordered one at first to see if we would like them.....we were so impressed we bought 3 more. I am very happy with the quality of these shelves. Very happy with how everything was already assembled, so all we had to do was open the box and slide it out.....BOOM! It was ready to set up. This would be a perfect shelf for dorm rooms, smaller spaces, teen rooms, kids rooms....or even the elderly or disabled because it would be easy for them to move from one location to another if they had too and easy to fold and store if needed....only it is packaged so well, that they may need help getting it out of the box. {definitely not a bad thing} It would also make a perfect "little library" in a kids room. I love how it doesn't "look" cheap. It actually added a touch of class to our product display. I was surprised how well it folded/unfolded. Because we will be using these mostly for events, we have protected them with vinyl table cloths that we are no longer using on the tables. This will help keep them from getting nicks and dings when we pack/unpack the truck. It also keeps them from banging up against each other when we are traveling. These seem very durable and hold a lot more products than I expected. VERY satisfied with these. Thank you for making a great product and not "price gauging" customers.

If you've been exposed to this type of shelf previously then you need to know that these are not made of hardwood. They are made of a lighter weight soft wood, possibly pine. The finish is thin as well. However they are well put together, all the screws were already pre-tightened. Currently all the shelves are full and holding up well. There is very little assembly involved. After the shelves are removed from their shipping box and the wrapping is removed you simply set them in the upright position, open the sides (they open like two wings) and make sure that the shelves correctly engage onto their holding pieces. If you are stacking your shelves then you will need to add the bracket to the back of each shelf at the sides were they meet. Since each box comes with a set of these and you need only one set to attatch two bookcases you will have an extra set. The bookcases also come with brackets which allow you to attatch them to the wall. I noticed that the reviews which I read did not mention using these. I do highly recommend that you do use them especially if you are stacking your bookcases. The bookcases are after all very light weight and you are only fooling yourself if you think that these bookcases will not fall down if a small child, a pet, or an adult gives them a good bump. I have noticed that my bookcases do not sit tightly against the wall because the border that surrounds the base of the wall prevents this, which adds to potential instability. Also the screws which come with bookcases are not long enough to adequately attach them to the wall as they are only one and a half inch long and very thin. I used much larger screws but no anchors were needed as I found the studs, a lucky find!I like that the shelves are 12 inches apart which allows for my largest books to be set upright. And I'm not wasting a bunch of space (like some bookcases do with shelves that are 14 inches of more apart). And who can't appreciate shelves that are light weight and come out of the box needing almost no assembly! There is a space of almost six inches of open space beneath the bottom shelf which could become a catch all for toys or a hiding spot for small animals.Overall I think that these units are OK and will hold up well if cared for properly. They could easily be moved from place to place and can be filled with books. Due to the light weight of the shelves and potential instability these should be secured to the wall but that is easy to do and takes very little time. The cost is reasonable as well. It it should be kept in mind that these are made of soft wood and are somewhat fragile and not as durable as the folding shelves constructed of hardwood.

I opened the sides and it unfolded how perfect No assembly.How cute?How cute I love this

Perfect! Sturdy, lightweight. Not that engineered wood crap. Really great. Usually buy these used but all the locals were being dodgy so paid the extra to get this new and I'm super stoked about it. highly recommended!

Take it out of the box, unfold, set it down where you want it --done!This is a sturdy little bookcase that looks good (in Natural color), with almost any decor. It's the perfect size for organizing those "extra" books that need a place to live. You can also use it for display items like flowers, knick-knacks, etc.The price is also good. I've seen similar folding bookcases in places like Target, for $30 and $40 more.Overall, you get a good bargain for a sturdy, practical piece of furniture that you don't have to assemble.

My office converts into a spare bedroom when we have several guests. I use this bookcase to hold the paperwork of the various projects I am working on. When we are expecting guests, I can fold this bookcase up and put it out of the way. It's great.

I bought this unit because it would fit perfectly into the small space I had in mind. I came well packaged and was easy to assemble. It's solid wood and holds quite a bit. I'm very happy with it and would buy it again.

It was a bit smaller than I was expecting but was easy to assemble and they stack very well (i bought 2 of them).

Well made. Deploys and stores in seconds. Will be using it for our popup camper.

It's perfect. I love it.

Easy to move, very nice.
