Love this shelf. I bought 3 several years ago at a great price in store. I wanted to buy another 48" espresso but did realize these were online. They are sturdy and survived 3 moves.

if you're looking for a color in between black and rustic, this isn't your color and keep looking. I bought this for my nursery and it's the wrong color as advertised.

Laurlette - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
Came with small damage to the side and a couple of the backer board screw were solid metal so I couldn’t use a screw driver or drill to install them. For my sons room so it does the job but wish some pieces were a little better quality

Arrived damaged and now we have to pack it up and take it to a UPS store. Huge hassle. We’re going to try an exchange but if the next one is damaged we wont buy again.
Color is way off

Rebecca - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
I bought one of these a couple years ago and needed another one and was thrilled when I saw Target still sold these. However, the color on line looks NOTHING like the picture. The Espresso color online looks like a warm cherry/walnut brown color, which would have matched, what was sent to me is pretty much black, sadly I have to return and now I don't know where I'm going to find one to match the one I have.

I was looking at the three shelf bookcase wondering what it would look like, then I realized I have two of these sitting side by side in my den and 2 of the five shelf also in my den. I have had these since I bought this house 17 years ago, and they have been great. Mine are full of books and are very sturdy. I am probably going to buy another one but when I realized I had those 4, I thought I should give them a good review.

This bookcase was exactly what I was looking for and at a great price to boot! Super easy to put together with step-by-step instructions. Quite sturdy for not being solid wood and very nice to look at. Fits perfectly with my living room. I honestly may buy another!

This is a sturdy bookcase. Works well for my granddaughter’s bedroom, just the right height for a 9 year old. Easy to assemble. Only complaint is that the backing for the bookcase is basically cardboard.

Cheaply made with noticeable dings everywhere. The instructions also indicated there would be pre-drill holes in the back and there were not. So that was a hassle to drill multiple holes for the back panel. The top panel also has a gap.

Holes are not big enough. Dowels break. Handling with TLC the finish still chips. Not a good value for the money.
