5 Shelf Bookcase Natural- Room Essentials™

A: I bought a simple mdf board from home depot that just happened to be the perfect size to make 4 extra shelfs the same exact size and ones that come with it. Shelf pins from amazon, paint. Cheap

A: Menards sell shelves in difference colors that would work in the bookcase. You may have to cut in down a little to fit and if you don't have extra pegs you may need to get those too.

A: These bookcases (all of them) are safety inspected with the number of shelves they are sold with. It’s VERY rare to see additional shelves offered for these kinds of bookcases. They have liability issues etc. if you want to add additional shelves it’s a kind of ‘take your own chances kind of thing’. I’ve done it before … go to Lowe’s and buy a thin board and have it cut to size. Always put heavier on the bottom for stability.

A: I did. went to the home improvement store and bought the hardware and pre finished shelf. I cut out into two shelves out of it. cost about $12.

A: Take one of the shelves to Home Depot and have them match it and cut them to specification

A: I am going to buy the Rubbermaid 12 in. x 24 in. White Laminated Wood Shelf from HomeDepot and saw down the length a little less than an inch and get it to fit in as best I can. It's under 7$ and just need to purchase the little stopper things.

A: Can I purchase more shelves and from where?

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

A: Extra shelves are easy to get at your local handy store (Home Depot). They will cut to size. Get extra pegs for the shelving and go crazy with adding as many shelves as you’d like!

A: Just a suggestion on what I’m going to do is buy another bookcase use the shelves and then use the bookcase as a wardrobe by placing 1 or 2 rods in them.

A: I went to Home Depot and had shelves cut to fit this bookcase. They also have the little round shelf holders to hold up the shelves inside of the case. Itr cost about $8.

A: Target, please offer the option to purchase extra shelf-boards with these bookcases! For smaller items like compact discs etc, this could be a good-value media shelf, really better than for books

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: How tall of this white collection 5 tiers book shelves ? Above 6 feet tall or more before I purchase it fir my white shelves pantry foods kitchen

A: I might be making some enemies here, by suggesting this, but you might be able to get shelving elsewhere.

A: What the. Width of this item

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

A: Sell us extra shelves, Target! I'd buy at least a dozen. Would be way more convenient than lifting 4 heavy boxes with the entire item just to get 12 more single shelves. This is a NO BRAINER

A: Does this come with tools?

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

A: You do not need a truck. It fit in my Honda Civic.

A: Box is small, can fit in the actual seat of any car. About 36 inches at its longest point.

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: 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 this is Debra I need the target handyman to come in my house to fix white 5 tier collections book shelves I will pay $39.00 for that. My husband George can’t fix he is handicapped. Tell target handyman to bring it’s own fixing items with him.

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: 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: 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: I called Target CS they were unable to send me replacement parts.

A: They aren't labeled, but they do have pictures and instructions. Usually wrong. Like they show a picture of upper A and B and write lower C and D. I'm about to slit my wrists.

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. I’ll be sure to make your comments available to the appropriate partners within our organization. You can also check with your local Target for further assistance. - Dianida

A: They aren't labeled, but the instructions come with pictures of everything.

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: Comakyh, I just wanted to say thank you for hopefully guiding the staff to hopefully learn interpretation 💜 You’re amazing!!

A: Sherteen, this is the 2nd time you did not answer the question the customer was asking. You gave finished dimensions, while they were asking boxed dimensions. Box dimensions: 12.32" x 39.57" x 7.2"

A: Hello Barbara - Great Question! Thank you for reaching out. Here's the measurements for the 5 Shelf Bookcase - Room Essentials. Overall Width: 24.5 inches Overall Height: 71.18 inches Overall Depth: 11.5 inches Distance between shelves: adjustable Distance from floor to bottom of bottom shelf: 0.8 inches Distance between side frames: 23.2 inches Depth of Shelf: 11.4 inches Hope this information helps! - Sherteen

A: You should definitely anchor it. If I remember correctly it's only one hole. the book case itself isn't heavy but could be dangerous if it tipped over with books or decorate vases on a child.

A: Hi KB - Each shelf can hold upto 30lbs and yes sturdy enough to not tip over! We encourage you to check out the reviews for others opinions. - Kristine

A: Honestly, it depends what you put on it, and how you balance the weight. If you put a bunch of heavy books on the top shelf, and only some paperbacks on the others, it will tip over - basic physics. But if you do the opposite (which I always do) and put heavy books (like old textbooks) on the bottom, and put lighter books/photos/etc on the upper shelves, it won't. Mine is on carpet and it's fine with paperbacks on the top, and progressively more weight until the full shelf of heavy books on the bottom. HOWEVER it you have kids or pets that could run into it or try to jump on or climb it, you should *always* anchor it. The extra weight (especially from climbing) may tip it over - it's just not worth the risk. (Same for most furniture that's not solid hardwood!)

A: Hello Rogard - Thank you for your inquiry about the 5 Shelf Bookcase. The Bookcase has adjustable, open shelves which make it easy to fit and display your favorite items. We hope you enjoy this! - McKenzie

A: Hi - Yes, the shelves are adjustable. Happy shopping! - Kiera

A: 3 shelves are adjustable. The center one is not, it's the middle support. So if you are looking for 5 exactly spaced shelves, it's impossible. It made my project change.

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: To anyone wondering what would trigger the California Prop 65 warning, it's very likely just the MDF it's made of. It can emit formaldehyde since it is manufactured with it.

A: Hi MeTellingYou – That’s a great question! At the bottom of our product page is this warning: This product can expose you to chemicals including Formaldehyde, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/furniture. www.p65warnings.ca.gov. Be safe! - Tim

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: 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: I have had several, the backing adds stability without it will begin to lean. I have bought contact paper in a design I like and added before adding the backing to add a little interest

A: Hello Jay Lowe - Display your favorites in style with this bookcase! The backing is unfinished. We hope this helps in your decision! - Erinn

A: The back of the shelf is not white (for the white one anyway). The particle board is showing on the one i purchased.

A: They must have changed this at some point. I bought mine in 2022 and one side of the particle board is "particle board color", the other is white. Also, since it folds out, after 3 years of humidity, the folds are less flush than they once were and visible.
