Amazon Basics Ladder Bookshelf Organizer, 5-Tier, Solid Rubberwood Frame, Walnut Finish, 14" D x 24.8" W x 70.1" H

It took a minute to get the hang of putting them together but I did it! The first took about an hour and I had to take it apart once or twice but the last of 4 took about 20 minutes. If you aren’t careful you can break the top layer or crack the board like I did but I was able to add extra screws to secure it pretty well.I do love them and I’m excited to get them all filled in with my important things. ❤️

Sturdy and fits perfectly with what I was looking for. Recommend if not looking to nail a shelf/desk on the wall

I really like this shelf for the height, look, sturdiness and the way it turned out but I did run into two issues1) the top right small post labeled (D) didn’t have 2 of the 4 metal screw holes set for the shelf board to slide into so I had to measure and set the holes myself, must’ve been a mistake because the instructions show all 4 holes.2) instructions say screwdriver and power drill optional but I strongly recommend you use a drill, I did it all with a screwdriver (including setting the holes they forgot to cut) and spent quite a bit of elbow grease, with a drill I would’ve breezed through everything even the factory mistake

Very good item for the money

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.

The bookshelf is a great product for the price. It’s sturdy and solid and holds weight well. Its stylish and slim line. A good buy.

Satisfied

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.
