Vida Designs Corona Bookcase, 1 Drawer, Blu-ray/CD Rack, Solid Pine Wood

I needed a bookcase that could take approximately 150 books all of the same size and weight. The shelves needed to support 8 books each without sagging. I bought 6 of these units. Stacked them together and used the ties to connect to a wall. Pine finish is good. Easy to build and cheap. One issue why do makers supply cheap screws instead of steel formed ones. So much easier.Why do people buy units without measuring the height of the books etc that will be going in. ?

A bit smaller than I thought but it's a nice bookcase thanks

I was debating whether I should get this bookcase or this other one. I decided to get this one because of the colour, it fitted in with other furniture and there was an extra shelf. not only this, but there is also a drawer. I started to get worried when I looked at the reviews (after I purchased the item) becuase they were mixed. the most popular issue was that it didn't fit books properly. this was the one thing I was worried about most. after constructing the case, I saw if it fitted books and it does. only the 18-20cm paperbacks though. as you can see in the image, the hardback ones don't fit and that's what I was expecting so wasn't a problem. one major issue I think everyone had was they didn't look at the dimensions. the dimensions shown on the product (from seller) were accurate. so overall this was a good thing. a few things I'd like to address as problems were the instructions. they were easy to follow but we had D10 I think it was left and we didn't know where it went. we didn't include them because it meant we had to reassemble the product. apart from that, the construction was easy. another part with the construction is that I had no idea what to put into the holes (shown in the 5th photo) but I don't think it's a problem. the final critic I have is the sturdiness. it's not as sturdy as I would've wanted but that's what you get for the price. this isn't a major problem for me as I am a student and do have a budget. I would recommend this to those who are finding something short term or just a beginner to a bookcase. I'm giving it a 4 star. half a star for sturdiness and another half for the small complications of the instructions.

These were easy to build, are incredibly light and are sturdy. I have five. However, if they were adequately sized, I wouldn't have needed five.The units are not very tall and not very wide, which is ideal for me. But the shelves themselves ...Standard book sizes are 6 x 9 inches. And these shelves are NOT tall enough to accommodate the STANDARD BOOK SIX with them standing as they would in a normal book shelf.These are PERFECT for DVDs - and the box they come in says DVD on them. Nothing about books.My books are in them end to end, lying flat. I can fit two rows of books side by side in this fashion. I can fit books in standing straight if I bend or cram them, which damaged one of my older books so much that the cover came off when I was taking it off the shelf.So yeah - by no means are these book shelves if I can't even STAND MY BOOKS UP! And the drawers are so small they're almost useless.But they suffice, and they look nice. Just BE. WARNED! The name is completely misleading and if I knew before my first purchase that they wouldn't fit books, I'd have gotten something else. But after the first shelf I liked them so much I thought eh, they're not right, but they're okay.If I was more into movies than books, and my books were all DVDs, I'd be celebrating these beauties wishing I could rate them 10 stars.With an extra 10 stars for the seller - very nice with fast responses and fast replacement when my last order never turned up.But for that name, implying they're bookshelves, I have to rate them down I'm afraid.

Received quickly by the seller and all parts were there and intact. Instructions were a little sparse on details but gave a good rough guide that you could easily follow.The unit is fab once completed, small but perfectly formed and very sturdy as every part is screwed in as well as wooden dowels.It appears to be a unfinished wood, which is very nice just as it is or I should imagine it would be quite easy to paint or stain it to whatever colour suits your scheme.All in all very pleased with our purchase and a very good price for what you get - we wouldn't hesitate to buy another if we needed it!

Just had the spare bedroom redecorated and we were looking for a small bookcase to hold some paperbacks. The dimensions of this one looked perfect.It arrives in a flat box with everything carefully packed inside including a fairly comprehensive instruction manual. The manufacturer has opted for a diagram only type of instructions which can be a little confusing. I would have preferred if the manufacturer had placed stickers on each piece for easier identification.Despite this fact, I had the whole unit assembled in around half an hour or so. The method of construction makes for a solid build without the need of glue. All you will need is a cross-head screwdriver and a hammer. The only mistake I made was installing one shelf upside down but was easily corrected.The finish is very good. It is solid pine but not the usual yellow colour you get with some pine. The colour is closer to light oak. The colour you see on screen is pretty close to the finished product.Overall, we are very pleased with this bookcase and it fulfils our requirements perfectly.

The product arrived quicker than expected which was a bonus as this item was bought as a dvd unit for an elderly relative and she needed it setting up quickly having just moved into new accommodation. However, as we plodded through the instructions and started assembling the item it soon became clear things were not right. Two of the shelfs had the screws holes on the wrong side of the wood, one of the shelfs had a crack on the corner of it and came apart as soon as we put a dowel in it, the side piece of the drawer had no screw holes at all and the back piece looked like it had been scraped on a wall. As we had already half built it we had no option other than to carry on with it and make do. Poor quality and very dissappointed. I wouldn't recommend at all. Very poor.

Good quality wood, make sure you plan out assembly as I got the unit wrong way up and had to take apart and re do. Once assembled properly looks great and sturdy.

Me ha encantado tamaño y la madera que trae, queda mejor de lo que esperaba.

Très jolie petite bibliothèque. Utilisée pour y mettre des mangas et dans tiroir, c’est parfait pour les gameboy de l’époque. Montage facile. Qualité présente. Esthétique fidèle aux photos. Petite mais ça c’est prévu.

Très belle armoire en pin massif

Ich mag diese Corona Möbel. Das mexikanische Stil entspricht meinem Geschmack, und Echtholz sowieso. Das Holz ist weich und empfindlich, aber für den Preis nehme ich es in Kauf. Dieses Regal ist klein aber fein, DVDs passen genau rein, genau so wie viele Bücher. Erstaunlich wieviel doch am Ende rein passt. Die Farbe ist wie abgebildet, lässt sich schnell zusammenbauen und macht sich toll im Wohnzimmer.

Nonostante ho visto le foto di chi lo ha montato sbagliato, e quindi tutta l' attenzione di cui sono capace, anche il mio ha il cassetto in alto...inoltre, avendone comprati due, ho notato che i fori per viti e spinotti sono diversi nei due esemplari.Comunque è un porta CD piacevole e in buon legno naturale
