Cons:

• "I had a slight hard time on assembling because of the wood screws."
• "With both shelves, we opted not to install the cross support in the back, mainly because we couldn’t get it to install/screw in easily (could have just been operator error)."

• "Two issues with assembly:1. Screws go directly into holes in the wood shelves directly."
• "WARNING! You will NOT assemble this with the L shaped allen wrench they provide."
• "And assembly was not difficult—in fact, the assembly instructions were missing altogether."

Quality and Sturdiness

Pros:

• "The shelves look much higher end than the price suggests; they’re a rich brown and super flat with a nice solid weight to them."
• "The finishes look nice and it seems sturdy and durable."
• "I love these so much. Excellent quality. Very sturdy."
• "First of all the panels are solid wood and NO composite material."

• "Not only is it extremely sturdy, but the capacity is amazing for holding books, trinkets and other household items that you might want to have on display."
• "It was quite heavy so I am thinking it will be sturdy and last."

Cons:

• "The only drawback is they are a bit lacking in sturdiness."
• "Nice looking book shelves that are a little wobbly."
• "It is slightly less sturdy than I expected but with that being said it is very nice and sturdy enough."
• "It does wobble a bit; not enough that I'm worried about it falling over, but I would recommend anchoring it to the wall if you're putting heavy things on it."
• "Low quality and extremely overpriced."
• "Obviously poor quality materials but I didn’t expect that for the price, just much smaller when assembled then should be."
• "It is very nice looking and easy to put together but not as sturdy as I was hoping."

Design and Appearance

Pros:

• "The greige color is casual yet so classy for any room."
• "I loved the darker finish on the planks that made the wood look worn in."
• "The look is exactly what my husband wanted - modern, masculine and sturdy."
• "The finish on the metal frame is smooth and even--a very attractive black matte finish."

• "Love the real wood and metal mix! 5/5 recommend."
• "The rustic brown and black design perfectly complements my existing décor and adds a touch of sophistication to my space."

Cons:

• "The only thing I don't like is this general trend towards calling something rustic brown. It's not a very rustic tone, it's just a warm brown."
• "The biggest problem with using it for books are the open sides."
• "There is nothing at the ends of the shelves to stop your books from falling off."
• "If you're purchase this stand for plants, the space between the shelves dont offer a lot room for tall upward growing plants."
• "It's obvious that I was sold a returned and pre-opened package, even though that's not what I ordered."
• "Nice looking shelf but top piece of wood came with a scratch in it."
• "The most annoying part was peeling the stickers off that indicate which part is what."

• "Great shelf, especially for the price. Very sturdy, looks nice, and was easily put together by my 12 year old in about 30 minutes."
• "They look very expensive but they were so affordable and they are lightweight so it’s easy to move around on your own but again, they look so heavy and so expensive I love the modern look they give my home."
• "It is a good piece for the money."
• "Considering the price, I feel I got a good value for the money spent."

Cons:

• "These guys continue to use a non-water soluble glue and cheap paper part labels."
• "Low quality and extremely overpriced."
• "Low quality and extremely overpriced. I feel ripped off!"
• "Shelf size seems small for what advertised."
• "Obviously poor quality materials but I didn’t expect that for the price, just much smaller when assembled then should be."
• "Not worth the effort for end product that looks nothing like a nice shelving unit. Sent it back."
• "Assembled and missing 2 screws -to make the braces on the back stable."
