    It looks like, but it's a pain

    One shelf came damaged. The top and bottom part where it connects came undone while putting the nails in. The caps are impossible to put on. Instructions need to be clearer and not funny. It looks ok.

    Nice details

    Solid piece of furniture. The details, like the molding at the top and sides, make the MDF feel a little less cheesy. Solid hardware and easy to assemble.

    Beautiful and sturdy

    Every piece was labeled making it very easy to put together. This bookcase is well made. It is the perfect size and there are extra touches making it look like a very expensive piece of furniture, molding on shelves, top and bottom. We couldn't be happier with it.

    Cheap Particle Board, poor assembly design.

    Cheap and horrible quality. The particle board is too cheap to even hold the screws together The directions saying that the unit may collapse before attaching the carboard backing should have been a clue. you can't tell from teh picture but the second shelf form the bottom is the fixed shelf, it's far too offbalanced making the top much too heavy. When I flipped it to attach the back, the design sagged and cam bolts broke loose in the middle. Very dissapointed in this purchase. I won't buy Sauder again.

    Looks nice

    Bought two bookcases. The first went together with no problems. The second one the cam screws pulled out maybe to much weight when attempting to attach the bottom to the top. Since there is a lip on the top and the bottom should have put a support under at the middle attachment area. We were abel to stand it up. And using some glue got it back together and added a support on both sides securing the top to the bottom unit

    Nice bookshelf, rough shipping and assembly

    I like this bookshelf's design, aesthetic, and functionality. However, when I assembled it, the cam locks holding everything together were not secure enough even though they were tightened. When I got to the step where you have to flip the bookshelf over to tack on the backing board, the bookshelf bottom half separated as it was being flipped, and one of the cam lock screws ripped out of the board. I was able to fix it by pushing them together and nailing the backing on to hold everything in place, but this was a bad experience. I had previously assembled 3 of these with a friend without this issue, so I think the problem was I was assembling mine on a more plush carpet which allowed it to flex more when flipped. Still, the cam lock design is just not secure enough as proper nails and screws wouldn't allow it to flex the same amount.

    Kind of pricey for what you get.

    I would have thought the backing would have been a better quality than cardboard. A thin board would have been much nicer.

    This is a really a low quality product

    It's okay to use for things that are not to heavy because the material that it is made of is very flimsy.

    Nice Product

    Easy to assemble and looks very good in the living room. I have put together my fair share of ready to assemble furniture before and this was by far the easiest. Also, liked to helpful hints in the instruction book giving me permission to make nachos and to take a nap because I was almost done.

    I have a smaller Sauder bookcase so when I needed a larger one, looked for Sauder. Quality at a reasonable price, looks great, easy to assemble.

    This is an attractive product.

    Shelving is used for office furniture. Putting it together is a two person job. Instructions are easy to follow but care is needed not to stress the cam and cam stems during assembly. I don't recommend using a power drill for the screws as they are made of softer metal.

    Great bookcase

    Was very happy with this purchase. Easy to assemble by myself. Only suggestion would be not to have screw S23 and S32 for those who are not very careful these can be mixed up.
