So, so flimsy
I read in some previous reviews that this was a really flimsy item, but the manufacturer’s specs said it could take 30kg per shelf, so I bought it anyway. What a mistake. This thing is rickety. No way I’d load it up to that extent. I would not recommend this item. And the shade is darker than it appears in the photos.

Nice stylish bookcase
Looks great. Love the modern design and really wood finish. Fairly easy to assemble.

Not as described
The picture and instructions are outdated. The bottom is not a cupboard which opens out, it has sliding doors….

Great quality bookcase
A flat pack product but I found it quite straightforward to assemble. Am really pleased with the quality and look of the bookcase. It is also very stylish and modern looking. The only slight issue I had was with the wall attachment which included a thick cable tie & a couple of plastic fittings - I upgraded this to two small metal 90 degree brackets that I attached to make it very stable and safe.

Smart shelving unit
Nice design and finish, though a bit wobbly, even when attached to a wall.

Not as described
The bookcase is not as described. The doors shown in the picture are completely wrong. It comes with sliding doors, which also means the internal storage area is about 5/10cn smaller than listed. Very disappointed. Theres also errors in the instructions.
Charlie, London
Very pleased!
Looking great, sturdy enough for the needs, colour as described. Love it! Just note there is no handle to open the sliding doors, so that’s a tad bit tricky.
