Fits A BUNCH of books
I was nervous about this purchase because there were only like three reviews. Let me tell you, this thing ain't so bad!! It's definitely not high quality handmade solid wood furniture, but it's durable enough to withstand the brutality of my 7 and 3 year old.It arrived very quickly THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL FOLKS AT THE USPS in great condition. There are a zillion little parts and pieces but they all add to the integrity of the bookshelf. It looks like a complicated build but it totally isn't. Took me about an hour during my virtual happy hour.It holds a ton of books. Normal books. Paper and hardback. Board books are a different story. We keep most of those in the drawer but eventually we'll phase those out cuz the youngest is turning 4 soon. Speaking of the drawer, it's not attached. It will pull all the way out. If you buy this for children it may turn into a toy. Again, not fine furniture!! I'm installing a stop bar so the drawer can't come out anymore. Don't want the kids to break it.All in all I consider this a good buy. The white coating is gonna get scratched up. It got a little scratched as I was putting it together on the hardwood floor. But at the end of the day the hole thing is gonna get covered in boogers and stickers and nail polish so who really cares??Price is fine but I obviously wanted cheaper lol

Our favourite bookcase!
After a long search of bookshelves online, I bought this one, even though they had like 2 reviews at that time. And it turned out exactly as I wanted! Yes, I bought it 2 years ago and I took this picture yesterday - it still looks brand new! It's a perfect size and not bulky, perfect for our one-bedroom apartment, and holds a TON of books! Each book is easy to find and easily accessible for kids. Those two open compartments are tall enough to put there large glue bottle or a pencil cup (with pencils on it). And a toy storage part is my favorite! We keep my 1-st grader's school suppliers there. It glides so smoothly - a pleasure to use! We love our bookcase dearly! I would totally recommend it!

Awful assembly!
Putting this bookcase together is not easy. At step 14 the whole structure wobbles and breaks two wooden sticks and rips out a screw. The instructions should state REQUIRES TWO PEOPLE!Poor me tried to do this by myself and now I'm stuck. I don't know what to do 😭UPDATE: Eventually I was able to assemble the bookcase. I turned the broken sticks (part #3) over and inserted them upside down, that way the broken tip was inside and the whole part sticking outside. I also reinserted the screw that ripped out into the same hole and then turned the structure over and that way was able to attach the part A as in the step 14 of the instructions, but upside down. Also, the wheel screws (part #2) don't lock properly in most of the places and that makes me question the reliability of the construction. Right now the bookcase is functional, but I don't know how it will withstand everyday use and whether it won't fall apart.UPDATE 2:So it's been a week or so since I've set up this bookcase, and today I noticed that it is no longer safe, because the screws that were attaching it to the wall (to prevent tipping over) have ripped out of the bookcase (see pics).UPDATE 3: The seller reached out to me and offered advice and a 50% refund. I shop on Amazon a lot and this hardly ever happens. The seller really cares. While I cannot recommend this particular product (unless you are prepared for the assembly not being easy), I highly recommend this seller. They are great!

Great buy!
I read all the reviews for this and was pretty nervous to build it... I’m not sure if they have updated their instructions or what, but it was extremely easy and not very time consuming! It took me less than an hour to get it set up.I am very impressed with how sturdy this shelf turned out. It even comes with stuff to anchor it to the wall! It’s the perfect size for kids furniture and actually holds a lot of books.I have carpeted floors and the toy bun underneath rolls perfectly fine!I absolutely recommend this product! It is well worth the price!

Sturdy, and great!
This is perfect! My husband was surprised how sturdy it is. For the price it is well worth it. It even holds more books then what I thought. The bottom shelf has wheels to roll out. Its slightly hard on carpet to get the drawer open, so if it was on hard floor it would be fine. But it's great that the wheels were added on. It was missing a piece to hold the back board together but it wasn't structurally needed, so my husband just put it together without it. This is great for my 2 boys! I highly recommend it!

Wood is so fragile and breaks while assembling.
I really wanted to like this but I kept seeing a lot of flaws while building it. It’s so flimsy and fragile. The wood is so cheap and kept breaking while tightening the screws. I was almost done assembling it when a piece broke off (shown in picture). 😒

Very good shelf for books and toys
A little hard to assemble with the shelves going down and had to redo few pieces to get the right spot but otherwise really good bookshelf.

Cute, but get ready to work!
I actually bought this shelf for storing my piano music. Ultimately it works great for that purpose, and I appreciated the extra storage underneath as well. However, the other reviews are correct- it is a tough build and more complicated than it should be! Took a little less than an hour with 2 people. I would definitely suggest a drill to cut down on time.
