This is a great bookcase for small spaces. It's actually difficult to find one if this width. For the price it's a great buy and not too difficult to assemble. The bookcase comes with a piece so that it can be secured to the wall at the top. I thought this was a great idea if the bookcase is for a child's room. It prevents the bookcase from tipping over onto a child trying to climb it. It might be good for earthquake zones, too.

You're paying [$] for this, so of course it's particle board (just like almost every other piece of wood furniture at Target). However, if put together properly, it's extremely sturdy. I have some really heavy books in it, and the shelves have not moved. It also looks like it costs more than it is. I love the mission look of the slats on the side--the look was the main reason I bought it. The only thing I don't like about it is its height (about 4 ft, maybe 4.5) and width (about 1.5 ft). For so me reason I was expecting it to be a little taller or wider than it is, and I can't fit all my books in it! Oh well, guess I should have read the specs more closely.

The instructions that came with the bookcase are TERRIBLE, but it's put together in relatively few pieces, so it's not hard to figure out on your own. I really like the style and quality of the bookshelf. I love that the back panel isn't that sorry colored cardboard like most are, but is actual plywood that links together to form a nice fit. The height was exactly what we needed in the space we planned for the bookcase. I love that the shelves are adjustable, although the description says t hey're not. Would have been nice if the shelves were a few inches deeper so you could fully fit the cute baskets or plastic tubs on the shelf, but it fits well enough as is. I ordered the item on Monday and had it by Wednesday, which was a lot quicker than originally estimated.

I ordered 2 of these bookcases to go with the camden desk. They are a little shorter than I would've liked. But overall, good quality and stylish for the price. Warning if you have children though. The "safety" bracket they send to mount it to the wall is a metal loop and a zip tie. My husband "tested" the safety and broke the zip tie by barely pulling on it. So make sure you buy your own safety brackets.

I purchased two of these bookshelves to go with the Camden desk. They were simple to assemble, if a bit time consuming with all the parts. I really like the style, the color and wood grain is very nice, and the shelves are sturdy. I had two problems with assembly, which seemed to be manufacturing issues. First, the back panels were not cut to fit perfectly. I had some overlap, even with lining them flush with the sides. Therefore, they do not lay flat. Thankfully, I cannot see the slight gaps this causes once books are on the shelves. Second, one of my bookshelves had several large dark black marks on the bottom shelf - looked like sharpie marker or black paint marks. They were not present on the other bookshelf and obviously were not part of the wood grain. Again, it was not visible with books on the shelf, but if this had been on a visible part of the shelf, I would have returned it. Overall, I am happy with the purchase.

This shelf has enough detail on it to look more expensive then it is. It was very easy to assemble and as a mom I was glad it came with the hardware to secure it to the wall if needed.

I searched for hours looking for a shelf to fit into a difficult space in my apartment. The dimensions were 2 inches too narrow for a normal sized shelf to fit. Then I found this one and it fits perfectly and looks amazing. It is very sturdy and stylish so I ended up being happier getting it then some basic cheaper one.

I purchased one of these and I love it. I don't know what other people say that it's not hardwood. Mine is. I want to purchase another but I'm skeptical now . Have they changed the product?

Bought mine at the local store, no manual & no hardware in the box. Typically, if you're missing parts you can look in your manual for a phone number & the company will just ship them to, that's not the case for me & since I didn't buy online I can't call targets 800 number to fit it, atleast that's what they told me.

Return Method:

This item can be returned to any Target store or Target.com.
