70" Harvey Park Wide Bookshelf Grand Walnut - Sauder

In less than 12 months, shelves out of line, the bottom started cracking so the sliding panels are no longer sliding and I CANNOT GET MY ITEMS OUT. It is no unstable and unsafe! PIECE OF JUNK.

Do not buy. While it seems aethetically pleasing throug the online images, it is very flimsy. Extremely annoying to assemble, wood splintered everywhere, and the front left base foot is precariously able to keep this thing standing which concerns me safety wise. Also does not even function as a bookshelf as all the shelves are half an inch smaller than my standard sized books and textbooks from various sets. Considering tossing it but the amount I spent on it is preventing me from doing so... yet. Avoid.

This is a beautiful shelf for the price point and we're grateful. However we ran into the same issue as the other reviewer when we tried to move the shelf a tiny bit to the left so that we could reach an electrical socket behind it. The bottom shelf (i. e. , the load bearing shelf) started making cracking noises and gave out as we were shifting. I think this would be solved if the bottom shelf were solid wood. The rest of the shelf being particle board isn't an issue at all, it's just the bottom section that has screws in it that seems to be a liability. Sauder, possible to make a solid wood bottom section so that this doesn't happen to others?

Poor quality and unstable. Not sturdy at all. I would not recommend this piece of furniture at all.

We bought this tall shelf unit, the low credenza, and the small end table unit for my office. LOVE IT! They are super high quality (heavy boxes!) and look way more expensive than what we paid. Beautiful look. My husband put all three together (cussing at me a bit for the time it took. But it took more than the usual build-it pieces because it was designed to be strong and lasting. The end result is well worth it.

This bookcase looks really nice in person - not cheap printed veneer. It feels very solid. Not too complicated to put together, but does take a while if you follow their recommendation of not using power tools. It did come with a few very minor dings on the edges but nothing major.

My experience only. I believe that the esign does not consider the materials used. Basically makes bolts into the ends of a particle board a load bearing connection for the whole piece. The bolts into the bottom board piece failed for me and the board began to split/crumble. Looks beautiful and I wish that I could continue to use the piece.
