Sauder 5-Shelf Split Bookcase with an Oiled Oak Finish for a Timeless Look

TC11: Not too difficult to assemble. Took me and my 10 year old son 3 hours to put together but that's because it was his first time doing something like that so it took longer. Quality is not bad considering the price. Shopping at furniture stores was too expensive,this was a great alternative. It does have a bit of a strong wood finish smell. Took about a week for that to fully go away.

Cliente de AmazonCliente de Amazon: Es un librero estéticamente muy bonito, con buena amplitud y anchura. Un poco complicado de armar, hay que leer muy bien su instructivo para no cometer errores, algunas pasos de ensamblado requieren de intuición y lógica, porque no son muy claras. De allí en más, diría que es cumplidor, veremos como se desempeña con el tiempo. Eso sí, tardo más de 3 semanas en llegar a través de DHL.

arlenearlene: Just off the bat, the minus one star is because of packaging or transport, on all three units, the trim piece for the top of the book case sustained damage that exposed unstained wood. Given the consistency I’m sure it could be fixed by changing the packaging, and personally we used a stain pen on them and it took care of it!

For the glowing review:
The first one we assembled went slowly but after that we did two in the time it took to do one. I would recommend having two people on hand to assemble, but I do believe this could be done by one person and a lot of patience. Good weight to them, again, especially for this price. A lot of the pieces are composite, but the nice pieces of trim are actually wood and I think that helps. It’s a solid step up from something like target.

Mary P: My husband put it together. I have to admit, it's far better looking than I figured it would be! This is the first time I have ordered furniture you have to put together. I really like this bookcase! Very attractive and sturdy!

Terence F. Hall: I purchased this shelf kit for some of my technical books. I found it very easy to assemble following the included instructions. The finished book shelf looks very nice and is sturdy with books in it. Very pleased with the looks and consider this a good value for what I paid for it.

Nomi Sunrider: I loved Sauder furniture back in the day but I hadn’t gotten new shelves in a while. Their technical manual writers have gotten better by far. Hilarious. Don’t skip the manual, that’s all I’ll say. Be sure to follow ALL the steps and you’ll do okay and get some smiles. It’s a little challenging to build and you do need some space but I was able to (as a seasoned amateur furniture assembler) construct this shelf myself. I love the look so much. It seems really stable, and maybe it’s just my carpet, but it seems to lean back against the wall naturally, not forward. It looks glossy, sturdy, and attractive. Do pay attention to load limits, but with that in mind this is such a versatile shelf unit. Very happy with my purchase. One thing I’ll note: there was a very strong formaldehyde scent that the particleboard put out from the screws and nails for about a month. But the smell faded after that and either I got used to it or it just dissipated and not it’s fine. But it was a little suffocating in my bedroom that didn’t have any ceiling fans. I definitely recommend these shelves though. Maybe two! Or more!

Immediate satisfaction for replacement parts; shipped promptly and discounted through Amazon for my inconvenience. Final finished product worth the short delays. Appreciate the discount!
