5 Shelf Bookcase - Room Essentials™

A: I agree with Hannah, I love these shelves, I have two of them, but I would really, really like to be able to purchase additional shelf boards. As tall as these bookshelves are, I could easily fit six or even seven shelves into the case and fit more books. Please, Target! Make purchasing additional shelves available!

A: Not a helpful response at all from Target. Additional shelves definitely need to be offered for this case.

A: It's so cheap you could just buy another bookshelf and use it for the shelves.

A: Robin was right-on with her response. She was not suggesting purchasing shelves separately.

A: Hi Hannah - Thanks for stopping by! This bookshelf is great to keep you organized, however you cannot buy additional shelves for this. We hope this will work for you! - Katrina

A: No truck needed I took one home in the trunk of a Camry.

A: If this item is about 72” tall, I don’t see where the box dimensions are smaller. Unless the side panels have to be put together, instead of arriving in one piece, it doesn’t add up. Hoping someone can clarify this so I can be sure it fits in a car. Thanks!0

A: I watched the video and it shows that the sides are two pieces that is why the dimensions don't seem to add it. I have put together other ones similar to this and they have held up very well.

A: Hi Lee - Great question! The box dimensions are approximately 12.32" L x 39.57" W x 7.2" W. We hope it will be the perfect addition to your stylish space. - Taylor

A: @Sue, yes you need to put the side panels together. They’re split in two in order to fit in the box better. You can see the seams in the photos

A: Great advice from Laura to pick up those replacement pegs at the hardware store. The 1/4" pegs are indeed too big. Just keep in mind you're going to have to get metal 5mm pegs. Wooden pegs don't seem to come in that size.

A: I was able to use a standard 5mm shelf pegs for these. You can purchase them from any hardware store. 1/4" pegs are too big.

A: If you order 5mm pegs, they will fit.

A: No they are not labeled, just put a few together myself. Still easy enough, just seperate and keep A+B and C+D together (C and D have the large holes for the 4 connecetor screw pieces.

A: Question: Do they label the boards for assembly now? Tried to buy these before, but no parts were labeled making assembly extremely difficult as directions state by A,B,C Answer: Hi – Good question, while we do appreciate your interest and welcome your questions, that information is not available to us in Guest Relations.

A: Most likely, I wish they would answer directly but they like to dance around this question..... all this cheaply made furniture usually has "preservatives" in it unfortunately.

A: Hi Patricia - Thanks for stopping by. This product needs to be assembled with the backing for stability. Please let us know if you have any further questions. - Chelsie

A: Yes it can, I higly doubt the backing material adds and sort of stability. I have 2, they are sturdy enough as they are.

A: As long as they are not too heavy I don't see why not. You should def anchor it to the wall using the hardware they give you if you do that though

A: Hi tanyano - We're glad you asked! This bookcase is designed to be used as-is so we don't recommend modifying it. Thanks for stopping by! - Gao

A: There's a little guide tool that works really nice when hammering.

A: Hi Caldwell - We appreciate you shopping for furniture at Target. The back panel of this sturdy bookcase is attached with a hammer and nails. Thanks! - Philip

A: Hi, I struggled for hours with the same issue with completing step 7 — what worked for me is to pull it back out and then hammer the wood dowels to make sure all 4 are as far in as they can be. Once that’s done, you should then be able to put it back almost flush with the middle shelf and then turn the cam screws to tighten all the way to successfully complete step 7. I know this is an old post but I hope this helps others.

A: Hi Tina - Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to follow the instructions manual carefully when assembling this bookcase for the best results. Have a wonderful day! - Gao
