Sauder Beginnings 3 Bookcase/Book Shelf, L: 24.57" x W: 11.50" x H: 35.28", Cinnamon Cherry finish

This is a really nice sturdy bookcase, I put it together by myself(I've never put anything like this together alone) It was so easy...but you have to follow the directions or it won't fit correctly. Worth the money!!!!

I took so long to actually buy this product (and to be honest I actually ordered it from another site first, then the price went down here so I bought 2 more from Amazon!) because of mixed reviews here and on other sites. I've had other products from Sauder in the past and I've never been disappointed, but some products have been a little better than others. This is one of the best, and for the price ($30 at the time when I bought 2 of these), it simply can't be beat. Pros: 1) Nice, dark wood color. I'm sure the other colors are good too, but I ordered the Cinnamon Cherry). It looks great! 2) Easy to put together - alone, it took me about 10 minutes total from unboxing to starting to put items onto it. 3) To go along with #2 above, this piece uses regular screws and NOT hex screws where you have to break your fingers trying to turn that little crappy key everyone gives you. I love that. 4) It's solid - although not actual pieces of wood per se, it's built well and not cheaply. Built to last, heavy but not overly so. Cons: 1) The top piece doesn't have the wood grain on both sides like the shelves do. The expectation is that it's a 3-shelf unit so they don't think people would see it, but I have these on top of a credenza to organize things at my very large desk and I can see them. Just would have been nice to have one more layer of the pattern on that piece. 2) This is being super picky, I know, but it would be nice if the screw covers (that match the wood grain) were the plug-in plastic kind instead of the stickers. I just prefer the plastic ones but this really isn't a big deal. As I bought 2 more after seeing how good the first one was, obviously I recommend this if you are looking for a quality yet inexpensive bookshelf. -D

I bought this back in 2021 for literally $25. I was looking through my old orders and surprised myself with this price. It was such a good deal. It's probably more expensive now but this bookcase is pretty good. I don't have the largest book collection in the world (yet) but I still needed somewhere to keep my books in my room. I haven't had any major problems with it. A minor problem I encountered is that one of the little metal pegs came out. I noticed this when one of the shelves were sagging. It was an easy fix by just putting the peg back in. The top of the bookcase is perfect for showcasing things like plants and decorations

Size, colour, and sturdiness of the shelf is worth the money. I bought it to be used as a bookshelf. I am happy with my purchase, and I would recommend it.

You get what you pay. As expected.
