About this product
The Argos Home Maine Bookcase gives you practical storage for books, display pieces, and everyday items in a slim, upright design. It's a straightforward tall unit that fits neatly against walls without eating into floor space. The wood effect finish with PVC coating protects against marks and wipes clean after dusting. Five shelves in total provide flexible storage, one fixed shelf gives structural strength, and four adjustable shelves let you space things to suit what you're storing. The black finish works with most room schemes and keeps things neutral.
The slim depth maximises space in compact rooms or narrow alcoves where deeper bookcases won't fit. Adjustable shelves move to accommodate taller books or smaller paperbacks, decorative items, or storage baskets. Wall-mounting fixings included for stability, especially important in homes with children. Self-assembly required, instructions and all fixings provided, two people recommended for easier handling. Manufacturer's one year guarantee included.

Not bad at all
Bought 3 of these for my games room. Does the job just wish they had feet to adjust and level the bookcase.

Not great
Bought this bookcase a couple of days ago, not great!. Some screws were misformed and couldn’t be used. Not very stable even with anchorage points and low quality I’m afraid. Couldn’t find a way to cancel the second bookcase either?!?

White Bookcase
Purchased this to display my Blu Ray's and CD's instead of having them sitting in a chest of drawers all the time. Looks great and does the job perfectly! Very stable when backed up to a wall, really happy with it. Assembly was a little time consuming even with two people, and some instructions could've been clearer in my opinion. However, you get what you pay for and I highly recommend it as an affordable display option.

Looks Really Good
My son in law put this up for me today and he says it went together easily. Looks really good made up and size specifications were accurate. I bought it to house my collection of Lego and it does that perfectly as the spacing of shelves can be adjusted. The finish is good and he fixed it to the wall as suggested to ensure stability.

Black Bookcase
Bought this item last week and I am very pleased with it 10/10 easy assembled and good instructions for the building.

Poor quality
I bought this a couple of days ago. The dimensions were just what I wanted but the quality was very poor. It's constructed of chipboard with a thin veneer. It's very vulnerable to damage with little structural strength. In fact, in one corner the veneer was coming away as we removed it from the packaging. Would we buy again? Definitely not. Even though it's relatively cheap, it's not value for money. IKEA quality is far better.
