29.9" 2 Shelf Bookcase - Sauder

The instructions were a piece of cake. High quality and would absolutely buy from this company again!

I've been eyeing this cabinet for over two years. I finally purchased it in July. The shipping box is heavy, so consider having help or placing it in a room where it is easy to maneuver. The assembly was clear and concise. Which means I had no parts left over. The look is grand and works well in any room. I used it for my old albums, but they only fit upright on one shelf. All in all, it was worth the purchase. The only negative: while installing the albums on the shelf, one of the peg holes cracked. It was impossible to reuse the same hole. Therefore, I cannot use one shelf for the albums.

Solid bookcase that looks great

Needed to store/house a lot of large art books, and this worked nicely. Relatively easy to assemble. The finish on the edges could be better as some were scratched and nicked.

Assembly suggestions: I purchased two bookcases and the second went together much easier than the first. Experience helps. I did not see the pilot holes in the back on the first unit. I therefore tried to get the reveals even on all four sides. That resulted in screws and nails being difficult to insert. On the second unit I screwed in one of the pan head screws until it protruded slightly, then moved the back around until the screw tip hit the pilot hole in the back brace. THEN I racked the bookcase and found that all the screws found their pilot holes without any trouble. Same for the nails. Pilot holes made nailing them MUCH easier. You might mention the pilot holes in the instruction booklet. I wish I had seen them before I started assembly. The dowels are good for positioning parts, but do not contribute to strengthening the assembly. Had I been thinking, before starting work I would have slipped a piece of paper into the hole for the dowel to create a tight fit. Even better would have been a slip of paper, a few drops of wood glue, and a clamp overnight before assembling the parts containing dowels. As it was, the back brace just would not fit tight to the top. Gluing in the dowels would have prevented this problem. Another hidden cam in the middle of the back brace might work as well, but that would mean changing the production process. Just mentioning the glue/paper/clamp option in the instruction book could help buyers avoid the problem I had with the back brace not fitting tight to the top. That said, neither of the above problems affected the look of the bookcases. They are considerably better looking than most of the shelves I have purchased in the past. The front moldings really give them a factory-finished look.

I add this piece to my office and it looks very professional and maintains a sharp look for my office.

Instructions were easy to understand. It went together well and looks great. I am beyond pleased.

Have bought Sauder furniture for my home previously. Needed a small bookcase for my classroom. Since it was my own money, I didn't want to spend a ton, but this was a great price and super quality.

It looks really nice when assembled, and was easy to assemble. Seems very sturdy and holds a lot of stuff.

My 9 year old put this together for me and it holds all the files on top I was needing it to and gives me all the space I need at the bottom.
