Good solid furniture
So glad I bought this book case, it’s good and solid and came very well packaged. No putting it together (except handles and knobs). I liked it so much I decided to also buy the coffee table and 2 units in the same Islington range! Argos have come up trumps in this furniture department! Well done Argos 👍! I can’t recommend it enough.

Beautiful Bookcase
This was bought as a birthday present and the recepient was absolutely delighted with it. It is a really well made product, strong and solidly built and will certainly last a lifetime or beyond. Deep shelves so you can store plenty of books in it and there is ample room on top for displaying photos, ornaments or whatever you fancy. There is no assembly needed unless you wish to attach it to the wall. Highly recommended.

Wider than the large bookcase
bought this to put next to the taller Islington bookcase. Surprise, surprise the small one is wider than the tall one. They look ridiculous next to each other. Fortunately I have found another place for it. As this range was bought as a stop gap due to a mould explosion I am not too worried about how they look. The only good thing was they came ready assembled.

Lovely bookcase
Bought at reduced price so even better value for money. Fully assembled and delivered with care. Lovely piece of furniture.

Plain but Classy
It arrived very well packaged and protected from potential damage en route. The simple lines are pleasing to my eye, the wood is of reasonable quality and it feels sturdy to me. It has a good depth from front to back and the height of the shelves will accommodate most books. I am pleased with my purchase.

Great value, looks really good
This is the second one of these I've purchased. It is brilliant value, looks more expensive than it was. Really well packaged, arrives ready built. Excellent delivery service too.

Great Quality
I decided to treat myself to a home for my beloved paperbacks. I wanted something a bit special. As this comes already assembled, that’s a plus, as I’m a single mum. But it’s such good quality and smelt lovely too! Loads of packaging but I cannot complain as at least the product was not damaged. Very happy.
