kinait: I hesitated to buy this one because of the reviews saying some of the shelves were too short. Be sure to read the directions: they say that if the shelves look too short, it's because you have to adjust the trim. I bought two of these bookcases and when I set up the first one, the trim on the upper right side looked too short; it was because I had the top piece too high up on that side. I pulled it down and it fit perfectly. Then, the shelves looked too short. I had the trim on the sides too far out; I pulled the sides in, and everything fit perfectly. These look great in my living room. I have a lot of heavy books, and these cases are sturdy. These are time-consuming to assemble but are easy if you read the directions. A power drill helps, especially because the screw holes at the bottom and top are too small and can cause the screws to become stripped; I made the holes bigger. The back is cardboard but is very tough and does not tear easily. Make sure you have the nails in the right place before pounding them into the back; they are very hard to remove once they are nailed all the way in!

david: I specifically bought this bookshelf because I already have the Heritage Hill desk and lateral file cabinet, so natually this is the one I wanted to add to my office.

LOOKS: This shelving unit has the same look as the other pieces to the Heritage Hill collection, so it fits in perfectly to the look of my office.

STURDINESS: I'm not a big fan of the side panels because are not one continuous piece. It definitely is not very sturdy while you are trying to assemble it (more on that later) but once it is fully assembled and secured to the wall it seems very sturdy. I do not anticipate any issues.

STABILITY: A wall anchoring bracket was included with the product, so when it's properly attached to a wall there will be no concerns over stability. They did not include a drywall anchor with the bracket, so unless you plan to screw this directly into a stud, you definitely need to have a drywall anchor on hand to use.

ASSEMBLY: This is where it gets a little frustrating. I am no stranger to assembling pieces of furniture from kits like this. I understand why they have chosen to use the hidden screws and L-brackets everywhere, but it...

EKCG: Just finished putting this together and we're fully impressed.

The product itself is exactly what it says on the tin, looks just like the photos. It takes a little bit of extra effort from your standard DIY bookshelf just because it has some extra decorative pieces, but we think it's worth it and that's one of the reasons we picked it out. Did have a MINOR bit of confusion since some of the decorative pieces weren't labeled, but they were easy to identify with the instruction manual.

Which, let me just say, this is clearly a company who has seen the problems in the DIY furniture industry and has actually taken HUGE strides to make the whole experience easier on the customer and make the product sturdier. There are no bamboo pegs that might not even fit into their assigned holes, no weird turn-to-lock things that may are may not be tight enough to not unlock themselves, no ten different pieces of tiny hardware that barely look different from each other, and NO ALLEN WRENCHES.

The entire piece can be put together with a regular screwdriver and a hammer (or just the screwdriver if you can't find the hammer and are determined enough, since you...
