GARVEE Farmhouse Bookcase 5 Tiers Tall Wooden 67.4" with Storage, Colonial Molding, MDF Boards, Iron Angle Design, Home Office, Living Room

I bought two of these. They were easy to put together. The instructions leave out some key steps and orientations, but the end result is vary nice look and very sturdy. The price is a good value.

I love my new bookshelf and I put together all by myself! The instructions were marked very well and it showed step by step. Thank you and I will be ordering again.

I initially expected it to be a bit lighter in color based off the images, but over time, I grew to appreciate it. The color adds a nice contrast to my grey vinyl flooring, making the space feel more vibrant. It also offers plenty of room for books, which is a great bonus. The quality is impressive—it feels sturdy, especially once the back panel is secured. I’m even considering purchasing another one in the future. Overall, it’s a well-made and stylish addition to my home.

1. You'll need two people2. Takes about 2 hours to put together3. Tons of partsThey give you a tiny philips head but you'll need an extra one4. Stick a post it to the part that is the top so you don't accidentily make it upside down.5. The silver screws grasp but do not tighten to a stop6. You do not have to put ALL the silver screws in the back paneling, just the 3 in a triangle.Hope this helps!!!!

The description is spot on! This shelf is madee Sturdy and the small metal pieces are a nice xtra detail!

Overall, these bookshelves are really beautiful and sturdy. They look great, and feel very sturdy! They far exceed the quality I would expect for the price!The shelves are fixed sizes, but both the 3- and 5-shelf version have relatively larger and smaller shelves that can fit a wide variety of books of all sizes.Assembly is very easy but time consuming. The instructions are clear, everything is labeled well, and it's basically impossible to mess up assembly. The vast majority of assembly is cam-and-lock, with a few screws that have pre-drilled holes. That said, it takes about two hours per bookcase to assemble (and after assembling three in a row, my thumbs were thoroughly blistered over from all the screw-tightening!). Note: these bookcases include more spare parts than indicated! I freaked out after assembling my first one when I had 3 spare dowel pegs instead of 2... but then later found out that all bookcases I assembled had more extra parts than indicated in the instructions.Overall, construction and engineering on these bookcases is solid. The finish is textured (i.e., it's not just a flat finish, but there are actually grooves you can feel where the "rings" in the wood are). I also appreciate that the back of the bookcase is study plywood that gets screwed into every. single. shelf. (whereas some competitor products are just cardboard backing that easily rips and does not support book weight). The decorative flourishes, including baseboard moulding (and crown moulding on the 5-shelf bookcases) are really nice.These bookcases DO need some very minor customization to be perfect. First, as pictured, it's pretty common for parts to have minor imperfections. These can be fixed with a nice wood finish stain marker (I used a dark walnut stain marker and it fixed basically all imperfections in the wood).Second, the cam locks do not have covers (and thus there are bright silver shiny cam locks visible inside each shelf). I bought some black cam lock covers off Garvee, which make this furniture look amazing!As a final note, the tall 5-shelf bookcases naturally lean backward (the 3-shelf version does not do this). So, the 5-shelf bookcases are only appropriate where they can lean against a wall. Otherwise, the 3- and 5-shelf version of this bookcase are perfectly aligned and can be mixed and matched as desired for whatever interior design you're going for!So, if you want these fantastic bookshelves, just plan on spending an additional $20 on a wood-finish stain marker (available on Garvee) and some black cam lock covers (also available on Garvee).

Brings life to the center of the home a very unique design.

I purchased two of them to fit in my kid’s cozy room. Two of us assembled 4hours overall, that is 2 hours for one bookcase. Although a bit time consuming, it’s worth it as we can see in the photo. It’s maticulously designed and sturdy. They are not wood partickle board as we normally get in this price range. The only downside is that I cannot put tall binders for most of the shelves because the wood panel in the front (decoration) blocks the way.

All of the listed dimensions are correct, each shelf holds a good amount of weight, and the instructions were straight forward. The color of the bookcase leans more towards brown then the red shown for the cherry finish.However, even after adding in the back panels the bookcase still sways too much if you push on the sides. Even after re-tightening the screw joints, you can push and sway the bookcase to one side. The back panels are made from a plastic material rather than more mdf. For how much the support of the bookcase requires the backing to stay strong, I was hoping for a stronger material.The MDF boards are not fully wooden. Meaning that the bookcase is made from thin wood fiber, plastic, resin, and wax. The shelves and sides that use the mdf are sturdy and hold together well but clearly do not look like real wood.Overall this is a decent bookshelf for the price. The wood grain texture is nice, the shelves are strong, and it is fairly easy to put together. Just make sure it is in a place that won't get knock into.

Pros: -perfect for knick knacks or lighter/smaller books-color is unique and matched other furniture we had which was not easy to findCons:-takes a while to put together-if plan to put heavy books/items on this piece, think again-not as solid as Garvee pics make it look (bottom shelf can hold heavier items)
