SauderMiscellaneous Storage 3-Shelf Bookcase/ Book shelf, Salt Oak finish

We purchased five of these bookcases from Amazon, two tall bookcases and three shorter bookcases, all in oiled oak finished. all arrived in perfect condition without any damage in shipping. The cartons were well packaged and complete with no missing parts or pieces.The core material of these bookcases is particle board with an attractive faux wood grain plastic material. One must be aware that there is no natural wood used in these bookcases and particle board is easily damaged and impossible to repair. Therefore, the boxes must be opened, the component parts removed and assembled with care.The assembly instructions are clear, concise and well illustrated. Assembly was straightforward and trouble free.The finished product is sturdy and attractive. One must be aware that the faux wood grain is a plastic material and if damaged cannot be restored. One must also be aware that the joinery is metal cams and metal pegs similar to IKEA products and must be moved with care. The assembled bookcases are heavy and awkward. They will not withstand abuse in moving and if the particle board-cam/peg joinery is damaged is cannot be repaired.If handled gently and carefully they make an attractive presentation and are a reasonable value.

This bookcase looks like it was $450. The color is more cool tone and darker than the picture, but that was the look I was going for anyway. The other reviews helped with this. Anyway this is now in the bedroom across from the bed and is a stylish way to hold all our personal books to read for fun. The shelves are adjustable but is designed to look like it was built that way. The depth is also a little deeper than regular bookcases, so it can fit other items as well. I will be recommending this to all my friends. For $78 what a steal!

Love love loveee these! They’re sturdy, so i’m not worried about them falling apart. I was worried about the color not matching my original bookshelf in the middle because it was handmade, but they matched perfect! Nothing was damaged, and nothing was missing. I’m so so happy to finally have my book nook complete. Not sure about the process to put it together because my husband did it (lol) but he had it done in less than an hour!

Desk is fairly simple to put together. You'll need a hammer and a Phillips-head screwdriver. I was able to put it together by myself in about 30-45 minutes. The quality is about what you would expect from this price point- the shelves are sturdy, and the wood color looks good. Giving four stars due to the quality of the finish- it scratches quite easily. Had to flip desk over to attach back panel, and some of the finish scraped off the top, even while assembling on a rug/soft surface. Luckily, I had a furniture touch-up pen, but be mindful when choosing where you assemble it.

This shelf was very nice and sturdy. It was just what I was looking for. It was very easy to put together. All the items needed to put it together was included. I would purchase this shelf again.

I was very impressed with the quality of this bookcase for the price. No scratches or chips. It was packaged well. The walnut color was true to the pictures.

The instructions were well written and easy to follow and everything fit together tightly which made the shelves very stable and nice looking.

I love it
