72" Carson 5 Shelf Bookcase - Threshold™

everything was GREAT except two broken screws luckily there are some places that could go with out on the back

Sturdy, good-looking shelves! I put two Carson shelves next to each other to make them look more built in. Love them.

Really loved 3 of the 4 of these I purchased. The very 1st one came with Styrofoam so crumbled and the unit cracked that I was quite worried. The material and structure of this one assembled differently than the other 3 packages. Packages 2, 3, and 4 were packaged so we'll, not broken or cracked. The hardware was also packaged differently. I've read reviews with some saying people have bought these prior and the quality is different. I'm wholly guessing these 2 styles were an old/new style and am so grateful to have 3 of the better looking ones. The shelf hardware has padded plat sections so the shelves stay put which is nice. Put these 4 together in about 2 hours with 2 people. Also the 3 better ones have more of a wood texture as compared to the other (pic included).

Easy to buy, delivered quickly, easy to put together but takes some time. Perhaps 20 minutes, if you have a drill. I didn't and added more time for assembly. Great wood color, holds a lot, and they stand firm. About to buy a third.

These are attractive with ample storage room and can tolerate a decent amount of weight on each shelf. The three adjustable shelves will allow you to accommodate taller books and picture frames. I’ve put four of this model together in the past couple months. The diagrams are not always clear, but if you make a mistake, you will figure it out quickly because the next step will not work. I consider this item a good value if you don’t need solid wood.

There weren't any covers for the large cams, so you can see the large silver circles. The back doesn't have pre-drilled holes for installing the back panels. The legs are too wobbly for carpet. This is better suited for hardwood floors. We got this as a present and can’t return it. Will be buying something else that looks nicer and is better suited for carpeting.

I was looking in the details of the page if this was formaldehyde free and it was not mentioned. I feel as the years pass this companies hide this crucial information. To my surprise once I opened the box the first panel has a warning label. It it infuriating for so many reasons. One of them being that I live in a two story home and carried the heavy package. Inspected the package before I even carried it upstairs. Just to find out it’s not formaldehyde free once I unpack and open it.

I bought 2 and I love it! Super sturdy, heavy duty shelves, and I want to order another one but sadly my color is out of stock. :(

The assembly took less than an hour and the quality is better than expected. This bookshelf is perfect and sturdy. The shelves are adjustable for what height you need. If you are a book girlie or even just looking for a nice shelf, this is the one for you!

Love this bookshelf. Was easy to put together and is very sturdy

Showed up damaged, side piece is cracked out of the box.

It’s a decent bookcase for the price. It was easy to put together and looks good for a kids room. I like that it’s part of a collection to fit various storage needs.

Bought the horizontal bookshelf 6yrs ago and the skinny bookshelf 6 months ago. The quality was mostly the same and the finishes exactly the same, so when this bookshelf finally restocked, I jumped on it. Bad move. The quality is atrocious and the facing “wood” is streaky and does match the other two. Would exchange but I’m certain I’d get the same quality and finish issues, really a shame. I would have waited longer if the manufacturer needed more time to restock with the original materials they’d been using for years, but they copped out instead.

I like the bookshelf, but I think the method for attaching the back panel is excessive—45 screws with only 4 pre-drilled holes is quite cumbersome. For the price, I believe more pre-drilled holes or an alternative method for securing the back panel would be appropriate. I suggest revisiting the design.

Great for the price, this was really easy to put together. It took me less than an hour with several interruptions from my children. I'm excited to organize my office space and I'm considering a decorative peel and stick wallpaper for the backing.

I have three of these in espresso and one in black and those are all fine. Something about the white ones isn’t. It arrived damaged and unusable. Then when I tried to process a return, the app wanted me to take it somewhere and drop it off. It weighs 70 pounds and is too big for my car! I had to call customer service to deal with it and instead of having FedEx pick up the bookcase they damaged I now have to dispose of it myself which means paying someone to haul it away. I’m feeling incredibly salty about this whole experience and Target’s customer service is terrible.

Cheap materials. No where near the quality of the three-shelf, two-shelf and horizontal bookshelf in this style back in 2016. The backing was just barely wider than the opening that it was impossible to line it up and make sure the screws went into the side. I had to use my drill for pilot holes. I thought once it was up with the shelves it would be sturdier. Not really. Very disappointed. Wish I hadn't wasted my money.

I purchased 3 of these bookshelves clearances out for $35 each 7 years ago and have used them since. I needed a 4th and waited for them to come back in stock. At a whopping $180 these “new” bookshelves are no longer real wood. They look very similar to the old ones but the price tag IS NOT WORTH IT.

For the price, it’s a decent book shelf. It’s cheaper material so I’m not convinced it will last 25 years but it will hopefully last the childhood of a kid. Very easy to assemble.

this is my 7th bookcase and we love them. our first one arrived damagedm but target immediately replaced it. thanks so much!
