The manufacturer might want to take note of the phrase - Measure Twice, cut once.
I was quite disappointed given the largely positive reviews.. Difficult assembly required my own work and solutions to fix their clear mistakes. This came with holes drilled incorrectly. Completely impossible to assemble without finding workarounds.
The middle shelf is attached using wooden dowels. Unfortunately someone didnt measure correctly, and the holes were about a quarter inch too far apart (as shown in pic) on both sides of the shelf. Needless to say that wouldnt fit. I whittled down the dowels. Probably not the best for structural integrity.. but the low enough price makes it not worth the hassle of returning and finding something else.
For other pieces the drill holes seemed slightly off - not enough to be a major problem, but they definitely required some thought to figure out how to get it to work. I had to push together the sides at the top to be able to get the screws in on both sides (though to be fair it is possible my fix in the middle shelf may have caused this). the bottom wasnt a big challenge but the screws definitely were going in a bit sideways due to measurement issues.
I wouldnt trust this shelf to hold a lot of weight because of these issues.
That all said, if it had not been for those measurement issues it would have been an easy assembly and probably fairly sturdy for its size. Unfortunately it was not for me, but others seemed to have normal units.. It is a fairly nice color and finish for the price. If it were without the aforementioned issues, it would have been quite good for the pice. With them, Id sadly recommend something else.
Love that it was an easy 30 min set up by myself with clear DYI instructions.
Was hoping it would be a few feet taller to match my kitchen but a great place for me to put things as I come in the door and not so much on my galley-way kitchen counters (i.e mail, lunch bag, purse, etc.)
It looks very nice as a night stand, bookscase, or etc. and I am so happy to have received a nice one with my promotional credit. , you have truly proven yourself and me and I can trust you guys again. Thank you so much!
easy assembly, fits my record player on top perfectly. only drawback is my records dont fit in the cubbies, but they arent designed for that, so its not the manufacturers fault.
This shelf is absolutely perfect for what we needed! We needed a small side table with plenty of shelf space this is perfect! Solid construction and took very little time to construct. Very attractive for any room! Highly recommend this product!

Takes only 1 - not that tall
