72" Carson Narrow Bookcase - Threshold™

Definitely a more fancy style bookshelf. Love the quality.

Okay- first item arrived terribly damaged- sent it back , the second one arrived somewhat damaged as well. Disliked the item but that’s cuz I feel like it’s out of place in the room it was Intended for -I am accommodating a bunch of my art supplies and what not so there’s a good amount of space for the size of it. Is not too heavy, very tall . I don’t like the color and going to paint it maybe i will like it more after that… the thing I liked the most honestly was how fast i received both items . Find it annoying that I have to wait for a replacement to be sent when I submitted pictures of the damaged bookcase though but like I said it was very fast shipping all and all . Finally this item is way over priced, the assembly was sooo very tedious . I consider this a $50 bookcase.

Good product, looks fine and have correct dimensions

I ordered this bookshelf for a small corner of my room so that I could have more book storage and it worked perfectly! It did not come damaged at all, the only thing that wasn’t perfect was that there is some small light marks on one of the sides, but that doesn’t bother me at all because I like the rustic look. It was very easy to put together and took no time at all. The instructions were clear and the organization of the hardware was very helpful. I didn’t end up using the piece included to stop it from tipping, I ended up using a bracket instead and bolted it to the wall to make it very sturdy. I was worried when reading the reviews about the “thin” sides, but they are pretty standard and sturdy as long as you don’t plan on ramming your shoulders into the side at high velocity. The shelves are very easy to put in at your desired levels and they stay in place and don’t wobble. Overall I definitely recommend this bookshelf!

Cracked upon arrival. Loose screw holes making shelf unstable.

Can slightly damaged, not very sturdy. Ended up returning

I received this and the colors of the 2 sides of the bookcase were not the same. Very disappointed

I bought 3 of the narrow shelves and one large one. All arrived damaged and not in areas that can be hidden. I have one that I bought over 5 years ago. The quality has diminished.

First one went together well. Second was a disaster; holes were either drilled too deep or too shallow; causing the locking pins to malfunction and ruin the particle board. Drip lines on all outside edges looks bad, if it were real stain and wood it could be fixed but as it is paper. Very nervous to see how the remaining units 5 turn out. Too many issues for me to feel good about $150 a unit.

The bookcase looks ok once put together and was easy to assemble. However, this is the worst quality bookcase I’ve ever seen or purchased at this price point. The sides are so thin (almost like paper) similar to the thin backs on many manufactured desks that you can cut through to run computer cables). I wasn’t expecting all sides to be the same quality as the back.

I am very much a novice when it comes to construction and was happy with the ease putting this bookshelf together. I received my shelf and based on prior reviews immediately took It out to ascertain no damage to any parts during shipment. Everything was good. It took me about an hour and a half to put together; I took my time so I would install any hardware incorrectly. This is a good value for the price. It looks and feels solid(the frame is solid but side panels are very thin so have a care when handling these pieces); I could not be happier with the end piece in my home. My recommendation is take the hardware out one step at a time (the way it is packaged to open each step separately is incredibly helpful!) and be sure to follow the directions step-by-step. Where screws were involved, my electric screwdriver on low saved a great deal of time. Also, do not force anything- if It doesn’t fit, it’s either in the wrong spot or has to be adjusted (cams) for the perfect fit. I did not install the back panel because there is an outlet that would have been impeded-hopefully my shelf doesn’t fall apart without It, but I think it’s fine.

I previously bought two of the larger version of this shelf, and both of those arrived damaged as well; however, that was minor cosmetic damage so I didn't bother to return them. This shelf arrived with screws inserted sideways and the wood was splintered beyond repair. I couldn't even lift the pieces out of the box without them falling apart. I'm returning the shelf, but it's such a large box that it's a huge pain to do so.

Perfect size for area

It was exactly what we were looking for. Perfect size for the space we were trying to complete.

They are beautiful and fit perfectly.

Took everything out of the box and one of the trim pieces was drilled on the finished side. Called to order a replacement part and when I was stacking the rest of the pieces aside noticed the entire trim piece that is attached to the side of the bookcase was put with the unfinished side out. I am going to haul all the pieces in an open box back to Target and try one more time. This is exactly what I was looking for, I hope the next one is good.

This item arrived quickly. It was easy to assemble because all of the hardware was so organized with excellent instructions. Very well made. Extremely happy with my new bookcase!

Purchased this bookshelf in white for an office. It is exactly what I wanted and is true to the picture. The backing is a little flimsy, and you have to put it together with A LOT of screws, but other than that, I really like the look of the bookshelf. It is stylish and modern and for the price, it doesn't look "cheap" - it looks very nice!

This Media Shelf Is So Pretty. I Ordered The Dark Color And Its Just Like The Picture. It Was A Breeze To Assemble. I Did It Myself Took about An Hour For Each Shelf, Only Because I was Watching A Movie And Was Disstracted. Would Recomend.

This was a perfect addition to the other 4 Carson bookcases. This piece makes them look like they are built in. I left off the backing piece to this one because it came in so damaged I couldn’t use it. It looks fine without and not noticeable. Quality could be a bit better for the price but it definitely works for what I was needing it for.
