Jacqueline A.Jacqueline A.: This is actually pretty sturdy and easy to assemble. The screw holes don't line up on the top. It holds my books and I can use my wood repair kit so the misalignment doesn't show so much. If I ever move again this piece will not be going with me

KailiGrace: Very nice sturdy shelf, packaged well, however one board had a small warp defect in the finish that was not very noticeable. It was easy to assemble, I did it myself in no time. I love south shore!

Leanne N.: This is a great bookshelf! Though it was my first time purchasing it from Amazon, I have purchased this same shelf two other times from another store. All three are great quality for the price. They have adjustable shelves for different size books, and one of them I use to hold storage bins full of work files which can be kind of heavy. The shelves hold up well! The only reason I am giving it four stars instead of five is because though the assembly was relatively easy, the instructions come with picture instructions instead of words. I can also say that I have purchased a lot of furniture in the past year that needed assembly, and most of them come with pictures now instead of words. The picture diagrams that came with this bookshelf were far better and easier to understand than some of the more expensive furniture I had to put together

Amazon Shopper: I have set up many bookcases but I must say this was the easiest ever! The instructions were great and they do indicate that they have spare parts and they did. I set up a bookcase once with no leftover parts and the last screw, the head broke off. I had to go to the hardware store to get a new one. I was not impressed. But not with this South Shore furniture. I was truly impressed by the quality of everything. I will buy from them again, no questions about it. Very well done. Plain looking with nothing fancy but it works and it works well.

Timebider: I'm really liking this bookcase. Because it came the same day as a similar bookcase of another brand and I assembled them side by side, the difference in quality is readily apparent.

PROS:

1. It's very easy to put together. It took me less than fifteen minutes to build from the time I opened the box to standing it up ready to go (I didn't use the bracket that attaches the bookcase to the wall). The instructions are simple and clear.

2. It's sturdier than I expected. I filled each shelf with large, coffee-table-style hardback books and then stacked a few more on top, a load guaranteed to caused warped/bent shelves or leaning/listing to a side in other bookcases I've had, but its shape wasn't distorted at all. The wood seems a little bit harder/thicker; maybe that's why it takes the weight so well.

3. It has some thoughtful touches. The kick plate at the bottom and rim at the top are attractive, and it's the first piece of DIY furniture I've ever had that came with the kind of thick adhesive felt floor protectors you'd buy at a hardware store. The shelves, when evenly spaced, all hold very tall books. This was a nice surprise, since I'm...

Hannah: Bookshelf made of particle board with a dark grain veneer, arrived quickly and well packaged. All pieces cut evenly and cleanly, fit together snugly without being loose or too tight in any places. The directions were very clear and I was able to assemble using a small hammer and phillips head screw driver.
I was worried about stability based on the fact the the panels are particle board, but that turned out to be a non-issue. Once the frame was installed, there was only a small amount of side-to-side movement, and when the shelves and back were attached, this movement was reduced to basically nothing. I considered not using the backing, since it's basically just laminated cardboard that is folded into thirds before being unfolded and tacked onto the back, but I'm glad I went through with using it because it donates a surprising amount of stability. Was able to lift the shelf and move it around the room a good bit before loading it with books and it didn't wiggle or suffer at all from being moved around. The assembly comes with a metal piece and some screws for securing it to the wall if you want, but I just wadded up some newspaper and put it under the front...
