Q: Is this pre-assembled?

submitted by - 3 years ago
  • A: You will need a hammer and Philips screwdriver to assemble this. It's not difficult. I'd also recommend some wood glue for the wood dowels.

    submitted byBlackMageXIV - 2 years ago
  • A: I'm not real good at assembling things; but I found it easy to put together.

Q: Can i strip and re paint or stain a different color

submitted by - 3 years ago
  • A: No, it can't be stripped, it's like veneer over particle board.

Q: Is this bookshelf waterproof I am looking into putting it in a treehouse? If not, are there any bookshelves with the same size that are waterproof that you would recommend?

submitted by lexi - 3 years ago
  • A: This is basic particle board, so not waterproof. Look for a plastic shelf.

    submitted byLibraryanna - 3 years ago
  • A: Hi lexi - Give your home a complete look with this handy bookcase! It isn't designed to be waterproof. We're glad you stopped by! - Gao

Q: Can I use it without attaching the anti-tip hardware to the wall?

submitted by avi - 4 years ago
  • A: Yes, definitely. I assembled it and put it in my 2 year old’s bedroom. It is sturdy (currently holding all 140 of his books). I bought the bookcase in part for the anti-tip hardware, but ended up not using it. The option is certainly nice, but you do not have to use it.

    submitted byKim - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi avi - Make room for a stylish and functional accent in your home with the 3-Shelf Bookcase from Room Essentials. For your safety, and to keep this bookcase secure, we would advise you to utilize the anti-tip anchoring hardware. Thanks for stopping by! - Vanessa

Q: What tools do you need to build this book shelf?

submitted by KarenLynn - 4 years ago
  • A: You need a hammer as well. Also, I used a screw driver, but a power drill would have been much easier (and faster).

  • A: Philips Head Screw Driver

    submitted byABramski - 4 years ago

Q: I'd also love to know the dimensions of each shelf. Specifically the height. Thanks:)

submitted by Krystalrenee - 4 years ago

    submitted bytargetshopper84 - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi Krystalrenee - We are glad you asked! The shelves are 23.2 inches wide and 9.37 inches deep. Both middle shelves can be adjusted up and down the inside so there is no set shelf height. We hope this helps! - Jerith

Zero stars. your going to need a drill, a hammer and a screwdriver. And after it's all done, it's a wobbly mess. Also there dried up clear tape in the backing. And none of the pierces are labeled.

I was shocked that this shelf is only $25 because the quality is great. It’s sturdy and all of the pieces and extras were included. The one thing I will say is that the pieces are not lettered, but it is very easy to figure out.

This os a very basic bookcase, but it gets the job done. I was looking something like this that would be affordable and I went with these bookcases. I bought one and after a while got a second one. They are not the strongest, but they are not completely flimsy too. The assembly was quick and easy

They are $25. Keep that in mind. I got the just to go in the basement to help with some clutter. They are actually pretty sturdy and don’t look bad. I plan to fill the MILLION shelf holes so it looks a little nicer, but again not bad at all for $25. Took about 15-20 minutes to put together!

Solid shelving that is not flimsy at all, cardboard backing that is the same color, easy to put together, no glue needed. Slim profile bookshelf that doesn't feel like it's taking up your whole room, weighty to withstand many heavy books, and for $25 it's a no brainer. Buy it!

It was very easy to put together and looks great. Love the bright, white color. I'm going to get a second one and I'm looking at the taller ones because if they're the same quality then I will definitely be getting those too. One of my favorite features is the sides come up a bit at the top, like an extra little shelf.
