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

Definitely a 2 person job but very easy to assemble with the extra set of hands. Sturdy and matches perfectly with my existing office furniture.

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

Easy to put together and very sturdy. Needed extra space in our home office to get things off the floor. This looks really nice and the price was very good. Liked the depth over some other bookshelves which were 2 inches less in width. Very user friendly and highly recommend.

The sense of humor in the instructions definitely made me laugh! The backing is thick cardboard, kind of hard to make even on the back. The wood is particleboard, but super tough. No splitting, and holdIng quite a few heavy books. No wall anchors included, corners kind of sharp. (Just FYI for people with toddlers). Other than that GREAT for the price!

Easy to put together with just 8 screws and a multitude of tiny nails (for the back). Sturdy enough, although I DID add inner braces to all 4 corners just to reinforce it. Nice faux wood color. Before I add books, I will paint the unfinished sides flat black for increased longevity.
