Assembly

Pros:

  • "The shelves are simple to put together. I'm really bad with putting anything at all together & the first one took me about 20 minutes with the remaining ones taking about 15 minutes each working very casually."
  • "I LOVE how easy it was to assemble. No tools needed!"
  • "The stand was very easy to put together."
  • "These shelves were super easy to assemble and even came with kits to secure them to the wall so that they can't fall forward."
  • "So easy to unpack and assemble. Took me literally 3-4 minutes."
  • "It was very easy to set up, twisting the tubes into each panel instead of needing screws was great."
  • "Super easy to assemble. Took me less than 10 minutes."

Cons:

  • "They screw together with occasional issues due to over molded plastic or excess flash in the screw holes or on the threads themselves."
  • "The plastic sticks broke as I was installing them!"
  • "It's wobbly, and you'll have to do some elbow grease just for the parts to fit together properly."
  • "Many of the poles were a pain to screw in, due to the being cut well past the threading and leaving about a quarter inch of excess plastic that had to be cut down in order to fit into the other pole."
  • "However when assembling the shelf, there is a lot of gunk in the threading of the poles."
  • "Assembling is a lot more difficult than you’d think due to the poor craftsmanship of the poles and disassembling is an even greater pain."
  • "The total time for 2 people to assemble this together was at least 45 mins because the tubes DID NOT FIT and I ended up getting blisters on both hands!!!"

Quality and Durability

Pros:

  • "The wood had minimal chipping and was pretty good for the price."
  • "The spindles make them look like real wood and they are sturdy enough that I don't worry about displaying pricey china and antiques on them."
  • "For what I paid, it's perfect."
  • "It is pretty sturdy and is holding my xbox one and xbox 360 along with some other heavy pieces."
  • "The shelves themselves are very heavy and sturdy."
  • "It's nice looking and the shelves are sturdy."
  • "This shelving unit is sturdy, rocks not a bit."

Cons:

  • "The actual 'wood' is just compressed chips, very easy to break if you aren't careful."
  • "The underside of the panels are exposed partical board and the laminate is sloppy and chipped in some places."
  • "The underside of the shelves aren’t colored so it’s just cheap participle board on the bottoms, which is visible, especially for taller shelves."
  • "It can shake pretty good when empty and even with a full load."
  • "The plastic materials look less shabby than you might think--they blend in well."
  • "The shelves themselves have a ‘wood’ look on the top, but on the bottom it is very obvious there is no wood design, just composite."
  • "The veneer on the top is thin and easily scratches, such as when one takes it out of the box for assembly."

Stability and Safety

Pros:

  • "You can even anchor it to the wall."
  • "It seems sturdy enough, and it really doesn't look bad for the price."
  • "There has been no bending in the wood and the plastic tubing hasn't warped either."
  • "More secure than I expected."
  • "It is sturdy and there isn’t any rocking once I put the watch cases on it."
  • "It's sturdy enough for me to fill each and every shelf with my heavy college textbooks."
  • "It holds quite a bit of weight, I have 3 shelves of just file organizers that are full, so they aren't light."

Cons:

  • "It's wobbly, and you'll have to do some elbow grease just for the parts to fit together properly."
  • "It can shake pretty good when empty and even with a full load."
  • "It is extremely wobbly, and I definitely can't hold any weight."
  • "The unit is undeniably wobbly."
  • "Also, it’s not very stable on my carpeted floor, and sways without backing."
  • "It is more wobbly and unstable than a drunk man crossing the road even if I fill up the shelf to try to stable it."
  • "This shelf literally LEANS so far I’m afraid it will one day tip over and dump all my items on the floor."

Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Ordered a second one that came just as expected."
  • "I received an email saying a replacement pole has been shipped to you."
  • "Customer Service was excellent and delivered what was missing when I contacted them directly:-)"
  • "I ended up calling Amazon and my issue with the missing items from one of the units was resolved quickly by Amazon."
  • "Shipping was fast."
  • "Item arrived on time and packaged properly."
  • "I'm so glad I found these shelf units!"

Cons:

  • "Tried to contact the manufacturer for replacement parts but their website wasn’t working."
  • "I've reached out to Furinno via email, but it's been a week now and they haven't replied."
  • "Furrino's process of submitting issues was very complex and difficult for this granny to submit..."
  • "The process of acquiring them is weird...You have to email/message them, fill out a form, wait for them to email you the price ...only to have the price matched with the shipping fee, making the cost about the same as buying a new one."
  • "I did look into getting new parts but haven't heard back from the company yet."
  • "Box arrived damaged though, and some of the pipe(?) was a bit damaged as well."
  • "The way they package the product is wrong, they didn’t put any foam at the sides the top or bottom of the box they put the product in."

Value for Money

  • "For what I paid, it's perfect."
  • "The wood had minimal chipping and was pretty good for the price."

  • "For the price, I’m satisfied."
  • "This is a great buy for the money."
  • "Overall, it is a relatively good product for the price as long as you remember the saying of getting what you pay for."

Cons:

  • "I know it's a cheap product, but I'd definitely pass in the future."
  • "Unless you want a fairly flimsy bookshelf, do not buy this product."
  • "I'm really sad about the quality because the price IS a lot for someone like me that doesn't have have lot of money, for what the quality is, it's like a quick fix."
  • "I don’t think it’s worth more than that."
  • "I think they're asking a bit too much for this thing considering the quality."
  • "Honestly it's not worth the money, spend a little more and get something of quality."
  • "What a waste of money. I get that it is cheap but come on."
