70" 5 Shelf Bookcase - Sauder

This is the 2nd bookcase we have purchases this year and they are beautiful, heavy, sturdy and easy to put together following the detailed instructions, holds tons of books-no problem....if we need a 3rd it will be this one to match the other two!

Sturdy bookshelf

Poor shadow of Sauder past. Finish cloudy with handprints extra. Chips in finish. Oozing adhesive at seams discolored surrounding areas. Exposed mating surfaces required staining to mute/hide. Letter stickers left residue. Best of all: shelf peg holes don't match side-to-side - had to mill my own shims to level the shelf. Erie J. Sauder (founder) probably rolling in his grave. Sauder was our family's first choice - not any longer. Only good news is that I did not pay MSRP. Even so, still not worth the cost.

ended up buying file cabinet too from this collection

Poor quality, Chip board. You had to be very careful installing this product and putting it together. Product looks nice after being completed but as I said, you had to be careful putting it together.

Very good looking bookcase.

Worked out beautifully for my wife's books in her home office

The fit and sturdiness are impressive. The instructions were quite simply the best I've ever seen. Made the assembly go smoothly. Top notch job on this. I will buy again from this manufacturer.

I like how sturdy it is an I love the color. The one thing I didn't like is some of the pieces weren't labeled. So I had to guess.

I now have 3 of these exact bookcases. I have several other pieces of this line and color and really enjoy them. I've never had any trouble with any of the Sauder products I've owned. I also have other Sauder products in my house. This is a very trusted brand in my opinion.

I found the quality of this bookcase to be lacking. For example, in 1991, I purchased 5 Sauder bookcases . The quality was excellent, the directions were easy to follow. and I was able to assemble all the bookcases by myself. 34 years later, the bookcases are in excellent condition. The current bookcase arrived with chipped pieces. The directions were difficult to follow, and it took an experienced handyman 4 hours to assemble it.

Easy to put together and looks so nice. Bought two and liked them so much I bought another one!

I hate the finish on this. I don't like how the front fascia on the shelves creates a lip so you can't slide the book off the shelf, you gave to lift it off.

Easy to assemble, very sturdy

Lots of space for all sizes of books and it's a very beautiful addition to any room. 3 years later it's still holding sturdy and strong. I'm happy with my purchase.

Heavy, solid construction

It's a great shelving unit and has some weight to it. I bought it for my books and CDs. I was also able to assemble it by myself with no difficulties.

The product is very nice, seemed a bit wobbley till i got books on them. Very stable and looks great! I had one in the past and it is still going strong!

I needed a piece of furniture that matched my mom’s end table’s in a small apartment that she could place various things on. Found this and it worked out perfectly! This is a solid, heavy piece of furniture like it was bought from a furniture store, reasonably priced but just a little difficult to put together since there are a lot of pieces. Once everything was figured out it looked great and fit everything. Overall very happy with the purchase and would recommend.

I am using this as my bookshelf. It replaced the old one I had. It was very easy to assemble it took me about 1 1/2 hours to complete.
