Sauder Edge Water Library/Book Shelf with Doors, L: 29.29" x W: 12.99" x H: 71.85", Estate Black finish

So overall this bookshelf does the job well enough. The quality is what you would expect from a $200 shelf. Mine arrived on time, but had several damaged parts (the side pieces were broken in half, shelves split, etc). I emailed Sauder's company explaining parts arrived broken, attached my amazon order number, and they had new parts sent to me within 5 days for free which was greatly appreciated.After the new parts arrived I began putting it together, which by myself took about an hour. Most of that time was making sure my sides were level and balanced. It seems to hold books and other items well, I have several large, legal textbooks, binders, and files on the shelves, as well as some trophies and framed documents, and the shelves seem to be holding up fine. Is this the best bookshelf out there? Certainly not, and I wouldn't push the recommended weight for the shelves (25-35 lbs or 12-15kg). Do you get what you'd expect from this price range? Certainly.Overall I'd give this a 4/5 stars, it is easy to assemble by yourself, it arrived in a timely manner, Sauder was very pleasant to work with for getting new parts, and it looks nice. Sturdiness could be better, but for a $200 shelf it does the job well.

You do get what you pay for. It is particle board. It is no different than ikea furniture. One of the main pieces came very damaged. The customer center was fast to respond and sent me a replacement. It took another 6 days, but it is all under warranty and I didn’t gave to deal with sending anything back. It fits a lot of books and helped free up some space in my room.

We bought 3, and when these delivered there were too many damages already even they looked well-packed. Not just scratches. One of doors' middle part was cracked. Also two of them had holes slightly away from where it should be, so we're used drill to make it fit. Coz it was not fitted well, doors slightly distorted and shelves also not fitted well, so we're should adjust then by ourselves. Coz of its weight and size, it's too hard to return sp were decided to use it. So disappointed....

So to start, when I got the bookcase unfortunately the 2 side panels of the book case were cracked in half, I couldn't start building right away. I have read in the past with some of the manufacturers, there is so much trouble with returns/ refunds/ replacements. All I wanted was replacement parts so I followed the instructions that came with it, went to their website and ordered replacement pieces. It was an easy website and instruction to follow. In 2 days I received the replacements no hassle, it was great. (No Horror story here) It was really easy for me to build, of course I always expect to spend some time on it, especially since I usually do these things on my own, so no complaints. It took about the standard 2 hours I set aside when I have projects like this to do. (Oh and trust me I have dealt with much harder bookcases and tv stands to build, this was cake.) Once I was done I was very happy with the outcome, I was expecting an dark espresso color and got exactly that, matches the rest of the furniture in my living space. Overall, love the product and despite the little hiccup in the beginning, I'm very happy.

I ordered this item for our living room, and after reading the reviews was a little concerned about it, but it was in the price range I wanted, was the color I needed, and the size I wanted.It arrived 3 days after ordering and was delivered to the wrong door, so I had to carry it in, across my house to the other area that is directly next to my front door (where I had expected it to be delivered). Be warned it weighs A LOT. It was hard to move, and aside from a smashed toe, it made it to my desired location.I laid out the parts and got started. It took me about 10 minutes to find tools, and then only about an hour to assemble. I found the directions simple, and easy to follow. There is a section that is easier with two people, so I enlisted my 9 year-old son to help me align the holes/units.After assembly, I found out that side B was broken. I should have looked at it a bit closer, but a quick call to Sauder, and they sent a replacement that arrived 24 hours from shipping. I was able to take it apart and put the piece in with no problems and it took me less than 10 minutes.I love this unit. It fits perfectly in my living room, is nice and simple, nothing fancy. It holds a TON of books, and looks nice. I love the simple clean lines and adjustable shelves. Having an area under it to "hide away" things is great too!The top piece is not finished on the back and because the unit isn't "flush" against the wall because of trim, it shows on the side. I did also find that the doors rub a bit, and don't seem to really adjust.Overall, for the price, it doesn't really get any better. I have no real complaints, and would buy another if we had the space.

Love it. It was pretty easy to put together, study and strong. Looks great. Matches my office desk. Would recommend this product.

This is a good product with good instructions anticipating most of the questions I had while assembling it.

This is a truly great item for the price... It goes great in my office!

These are great book cases, they arrived in great shape and the instructions were easy to follow.

It was exactly what we needed, thanks!
