DeAnna Brown: Absolutely perfect, they do not take up a lot of space and not big and bulky.

Controlled Chaos: These shelves do take a bit to assemble but the finished product is outstanding. The look great and hold almost anything. The with and hight is just right allowing a fit most anywhere. They are by no means small but not overly large either. The finish looks rich and cleans easily. You want these.

Judith: These are exactly as described. A package of two is good.

Buyers Voice - Watching their back: This review is for "Altra Furniture Metal Frame Bundle Bookcase Ladder, Black, Set of 2".
Full disclosure, I am not affiliated or paid by the Amazon or the vendor. Review is based on personal install and use of six months before review.
- It roughly takes 35 minutes to completely install. Medium effort. Solid construction. Style goes with modern decor of your room as well. I initially ordered one pack (containing two in a box). Once I assembled and put into my office, it looked great. So I ordered another pack.
- This shelf has the most width and length of each shelf (compartment) compared to all others available on Amazon.
- Bottom two shelves are wide enough to hold entire file case box as is.
- Solid 5 star product for this price. Remember, its $199 for two shelves.

Amazon Customer: These shelves surprised me --they look great and are nice and solid. i was a bit worried they'd look cheap but they don't at all. They were also pretty easy to build, but i would, without a doubt, recommend using an electric screw driver/drill. they arrived on schedule and were well packaged with no damage or missing pieces
this was a good purchase and i would buy them again in a heartbeat

PP: nice sturdy units but not great to put together - some of the pre drilled holes don't line up for the screws
also 2 of the shelves came with wood chipped off them but your not going to take it apart and send it back
other than that they look good

Leah S: Nice style...sturdy...but frustrating to assemble. My husband cursed trying to screw the hardware on these bookshelves. Needless to say, our marriage is still intact!

A_Thomas: Purchased for teen daughter building paperback collection; politely turned down an updated Kindle. Box arrived quickly but was at least 70lbs. Unpacked at porch and laid out all pieces in the room to display them. Only about (8) allen-type bolts plus included allen wrench and (2) different size black machine screws to deal with; but there are about (70 screws). Purchaser only needs (1) medium size Phillips Head Screwdriver to assemble; we used a power screwdriver which made things much faster. Took about 40 minutes for the 2 of us to unbox, layout and assemble. We chose to do both in unison which saves time. The use of modular steel frames is what we think made these a great buy. The frames will not warp with humidity and they stand very stable, each of the (4) shelves per stand holds 30 pounds or about 120 pounds per stand. The pieces were all labeled with simple stickers such as 'A' or 'G'.

Once assembled used a clean cotton rag and some furnish polish for final wipe down. Once I stood back and viewed the stands with daughter's approval; I was very pleased. They are striking in final appearance; resembling library shelf ladders. There is great spacing between shelves for...

eternalgreenknight: Update- now have 5 sets (total of 10). They are cheap, but well made for what they are. I only had to re-drill one hole out of all of them. All the pieces are marked, and the screws are separated out and labeled in packets by what step they are used in, cutting down on the time by saving you sorting through them trying to figure out which screw to use in which step.

I love that the frames are metal and sturdy, yet light-weight. They are the perfect height for my upstairs "attic" man-cave with sloped ceilings- as these shelves are 60" and my ceiling on that side is just a bit higher, they fit great. I'm using them for books (quite a collection of sci-fi and fantasy).

My only complaint, or idea for improvement is that the legs on the back which serve as the wall/bookend for the shelves are not very deep (the shelves themselves are plenty deep) and don't provide a secure wall for a book to lean against, so if you pack books in there they are squeezed, but if you leave a gap, they can shift and fall down between the shelves. Solution: squeeze books in, or use bookends. I may build a literal stop-gap (haha) to prevent books from falling. We'll see. Overall, given the...
