72" Carson 5 Shelf Bookcase with Doors - Threshold™

A: No, but it is super easy to do using a holesaw. You attach it to a drill and it will create a round hole.

A: Hello Kimberleylcain - Thanks for asking about the Carson 5 Shelf Bookcase. This bookcase does not have a cutout in the back. The backing is a stained thick plywood material. Enjoy your shopping. -Yamell

A: The book shelves you inquired about are sturdy and strong. I actually have 10 of this styles of shelves (in various shapes and sizes) around the house. Unfortunately, the shelves do not have a cut out for cords cables. I have two answers/sugestoins to answer your question: 1. I have cables running out of the back of one of my shelves. I did not screw the back panel at all points, creating a gap between to shelf and the back paneling large enough to run the cables through. The gap is not noticeable from the front of the shelf. 2. If you have the tools to do so, you could always cut a whole where you would need the cutout for your cables. The shelves are great and I would recommend purchasing them.

A: I see this question is insanely old, but answering for others. I had multiple of these and I cut a small hole myself in a discrete place and it worked well.

A: I actually left the whole back off the book case. The color of my wall looked really nice as a back drop! You could do the same if you want the dvd player on the lower shelf so you dont see all the cords hanging down.

A: No, but the backer board is thin and it would be very easy to drill your own using a hole saw drill bit.

A: Hi marisaj - Thanks for your interest in this modern bookcase with doors. The bookcase is intended to be assembled including the doors. We're unable to guarantee performance and quality with the missing pieces. We hope you find the right bookcase for your space. Thanks for stopping by! – Terra

A: Hi Marisaj, Thank you for your inquiry regarding the 72" Carson 5 Shelf Bookcase with Doors. We do agree with Target's response, however, we also make this in a version without doors, it is called "72" Carson 5 Shelf Bookcase - Threshold™". Please let us know if you have any other questions.

A: Yes, I see the other open bookcase option but the gray version is currently out of stock. Do you know if it will ever be available again? I'm wondering if I should wait on it or not.

A: we bought two in the grey color and put them side by side and they look nice next to each other.

A: Yes, mine are side by side. They are on a hard wood floor and there is occasionally a gap between them created from slight shifting. I just push them back together and they are fine. They will not look like built ins because you will see the slight gaps between them.

A: They will fit flush to one another as best they can. They won't be as professional built in cabinets. But I think you will be satisfied. Be sure to use the safety tab to secure in place! Love the look!

A: yes, it is grey washed

A: It is more of a warm wood color, very dark brown almost black. It is a very nice addition to my son's bedroom and looks great as his book/storage shelf.

A: Yes, it is more grey washed.

A: Hello Robin - Thanks for your inquiry. The overall dimensions are 72 Inches (H) x 30.6 Inches (W) x 13.6 Inches (D). I hope this helps! - Lexie

A: I'm also looking to add an extra shelf as the items I have are quite short and I'd like to take advantage of the space I have.

A: Hi Kelly - I'm glad you're checking. For the stability of this bookcase, it's best to follow the assembly instructions. It's intended to be enjoyed as it appears. Hope that helps. – Terra

A: I have a VW Beetle and it fit in there from back to passenger side.

A: Just so you know, in daylight the espresso color has a purple-ish hue. It doesn’t have a very natural tone. We moved them to our basement media room and they look like a dark brown (like espresso coffee) and the purple hue isn’t noticeable.

A: Hi Pat - We're seeing the "Espresso" color of this 5 Shelf Bookcase to be a rich brown with an almost dark burgundy undertone. We're hoping this information helps. Thanks for asking a great question. -Michael

A: The bottom shelf will hold the binders but the top 2 are smaller.

A: Hello Blecky - The Carson 5 Shelf Bookcase with Doors will help display your favorite collection pieces. The shelves are adjustable, and when fixed in the middle position they measure 12.9" H x 26.7" W x 12.2" D. The 2" up & up binder measures 11.4" L x 3.66" W x 11.7" D. I hope this helps. Enjoy furniture shopping. - Yamell

A: Hi there - I would be happy to better clarify the color of this beautiful bookcase. The rustic color choice can be described as natural wood with gray undertones. Hope it's what you're looking for! - Jenny

A: it's defiantly more on the grey side. We have grey furniture and these shelves match nicely.
