Q: Does this item require assembly?
submitted by Scgroves - 6 years ago
A: Hello, Yes,there are 9 parts. Simpli-Home
submitted bySimpliHomeProducts - 5 years agoBrand expertA: Yes, and it is a nightmare as the instructions are really bad as are the 'predrilled holes'.
submitted byRockyMountainDesigns - 4 years agoA: Yes, it only took me 40 minutes to assemble.

Q: Material: Pine, Plywood (Frame) Surface Material: Plywood What does Frame mean? The walls, shelves, and back of the bookcase is solid wood? And what is surface material? You mean all the wood is covered in plywood veneer?
submitted by K - 4 years ago
A: This is NOT solid wood. It's just plain old plywood with a cheap veneer. False advertising to describe it as 'solid wood'.
submitted byRockyMountainDesigns - 4 years agoA: Dear customer, Thank you for inquiring about our Simpli Home Amherst 5 Shelf Bookcase. We would like to inform you that the bookcase is made of solid Pine wood and the back panel of the bookcase is made of 3 mm plywood. Please feel free to write us if further information about this product is needed. Thanks again.

Q: What is weight capacity per shelf?
submitted by happykaren - 6 years ago
A: Hello, Total weight capacity is 100 lbs. Simpli-Home
submitted bySimpliHomeProducts - 5 years agoBrand expertA: Cheaply made so we disagree that the thin plywood will hold 110 lbs. Note the manufacturer says 'total weigh capacity' is 110 lbs. This means that it will hold ONLY 20 lbs. per shelf.

Beautiful!!! It’s perfect! Exactly as pictured and so easy to install but heavier than I expected, so bonus!!!

This seems like a pretty sturdy bookcase, and the French Blue color is so true to the pictures which was a relief! However, my one disappointment - the back of the left side piece had a pretty big crack/fractured part. Not sure if that’s just the byproduct of shipping or what, but it built ok, and like I said, was on the back side, so easily hidden.

Thanks for your review! We're glad you love the sturdiness and that the French Blue color matched your expectations—it's always great when a piece looks just like the pictures. Sorry to hear about the crack on the back of the side panel. It’s possible that happened during shipping, but we appreciate you letting us know. If you ever need assistance, feel free to reach out. Enjoy your new bookcase! Best regards, Simpli Home Ltd.

Love that it fits perfect in one of my walls. And it’s a very pretty bookshelf at a good price. If I had a bigger livingroom I would buy another one.

The bookcase came well packaged and protected. The materials, fit, and finish were all above par and the assembly was straightforward. The final result was very sturdy and should last many decades.

Great bookshelf. Measurements are for the very top part, which has an overhang. Sturdy and easy to put together. Not sure where it is made or what country it is a product of.

I like the shelving very well. I use it to store sheet music and large books so the proportions were good and it blended in with my old piano.

We bought this bookshelf because it was solid wood in the right color. We've had them for a few years and I'm glad I purchased them. They look nice and they hold my books. They survived a move perfectly.

Would have been 5 stars except one of the back screw locations was too close the inside. It split the wood out on the inside side piece. I had to take it back apart to repair it!
Disappointed

I was disappointed with the bookcase during and after assembly. There were 3-4 large scratches on the pieces right out of the box. The backing piece was very cheap looking and did not look like wood to match the rest of the bookcase. I am very dissatisfied with this purchase.

And it is really solid. Took me to hand out screws and my friend to put it together about 1/2 hour to put it together.

Bookshelf review - 4 years ago
I bought this product 11 months ago. It is unusable because the varnish still smells very noticeably after 11 months. I have had to store it in a spare room, often with fan running, with window open, and it still smells noticeably and distinctly nearly a year later.
Excellent product and value

Other retailers sell this same exact bookcase, perhaps under a slightly different name, at luxury prices. Great product and great value. Assembly is required and an occasional extra hand is encouraged. I purchased two and will probably purchase more. Nice to eventually replace all of my particle board bookcases with real wood.
great bookcase
