    We use this in the bathroom. I t works and does look nice but it does have a bit of a cheap feel to the wood and we did have issues with assembly due to some pieces not aligning properly

    There is nothing to dislike. It was so easy to assemble, and directions were very clear. I wish more companies sorted hardware parts like Target.

    I'm really upset that this item, and all the furniture except the main bookcase, was discontinued in the walnut color. It makes it impossible to even out my bookshelves.

    Back panel was torn upon arrival (see photo). Took longer to put together than anticipated. Lighter in weight than anticipated - Def need to install the anti tip if there are young children around the shelf. We like that some of the shelves can be adjusted for height of objects on the shelf. We got white so it is easy to touch up with a white paint or furniture marker. Would have liked white circle stickers to cover up the hardware.

    This bookshelf fits perfectly beside our chest of drawers in the corner of our room. Easy assembly with a Philips screwdriver; simple, easy to follow pictorial instructions but be sure to follow and complete each step before proceeding. The hardware is provided in blister-packaging and is individually sectioned by step. This is so helpful and saves so much time sorting out hardware.

    Espresso Narrow Bookcase

    - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
    It arrived in perfect condition. I was concerned because FedEx is notorious for delivering banged up boxes, but it arrived unharmed. It's exactly what we wanted, and matched another espresso bookcase that we bought previously from Target. Totally satisfied with this purchase.

    smalltowngirl - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
    We purchased this bookcase to store our daughter's Lego builds. The box was delivered with a few dings and the end flaps open. Surprisingly, only the back panel was damaged. My husband put it all together and by that time it wasn't worth taking it apart and going through the hassle of returning. Hoping to cover the back panel with wallpaper to hide the damage. Product itself is sturdy and looks great, just wish the packaging was better.

    I have other items from this collection. This item was delivered damaged and the box was in shambles. The back was a thin vaneer and was damaged on the corner a well as bizarre holes all over it so it was unusable. I assembled the shelf without the back and it’s wobbly. I tried to return it but my only option was to bring it back to the store and that was not an option for me and my small car! Awful

    Very disappointed in this bookcase. Was easy to assemble but very unsteady. Bookcase wobbles. Also had a shelf that would not fit and needed to be sanded down. Have already taken piece apart and returning it.

    What the heck target? I bought some of these bookshelves about a year ago, a few days ago I bought two more because we needed extra shelving. I bought the same exact color both times, this time the bookshelves arrived and rather than being the Cherry / dark brown color I got last time when I ordered the espresso finish, this time looks practically black. I'm sorry, but if you're going to sell the same bookshelf under the same color, you need to make it consistent with your other products. These looks so horrible next to the ones I already have up and assembled I now have to lug heavy bookshelves in my tiny car back to a Target to return. Plus, I have no idea where I'm going to find the needed bookshelves to match what I already bought from you. What a disappointment in consistency of product. The pictures on the website look nothing like what you will receive if you order these. I have added photographs of what I bought a year ago plus what I got today for a visual for how misrepresented these are. If you're looking for a description of the product, they do hold up well which is why I ended up ordering more. What a let down this purchase was after having such a good experience previously.

    Wxyz - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
    Most bookshelves (even my other narrow ones) have solid side walls, solid shelves, a thin back, stands sturdy flush on the floor. This bookshelf has solid pillars on the 4 corners, THIN WALLS!, solid shelves, a thin back and feet and does not stand sturdy. It is full of books and even so, it is still not solidly standing sturdily. I have a little bit of experience (I have 14 bookshelves in my house!) This is the first one that I regret that I bought :-(

    Arrived quickly and in excellent condition. Took about an hour to assemble myself. Directions are very clear-just take your time and pay close attention. Exactly what I needed for my small space, matches my tv stand and desk perfectly. For $112 on sale- definitely a steal. Highly recommend!

    Okay- first item arrived terribly damaged- sent it back , the second one arrived somewhat damaged as well. Disliked the item but that’s cuz I feel like it’s out of place in the room it was Intended for -I am accommodating a bunch of my art supplies and what not so there’s a good amount of space for the size of it. Is not too heavy, very tall . I don’t like the color and going to paint it maybe i will like it more after that… the thing I liked the most honestly was how fast i received both items . Find it annoying that I have to wait for a replacement to be sent when I submitted pictures of the damaged bookcase though but like I said it was very fast shipping all and all . Finally this item is way over priced, the assembly was sooo very tedious . I consider this a $50 bookcase.

    BookAddict - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
    I ordered this bookshelf for a small corner of my room so that I could have more book storage and it worked perfectly! It did not come damaged at all, the only thing that wasn’t perfect was that there is some small light marks on one of the sides, but that doesn’t bother me at all because I like the rustic look. It was very easy to put together and took no time at all. The instructions were clear and the organization of the hardware was very helpful. I didn’t end up using the piece included to stop it from tipping, I ended up using a bracket instead and bolted it to the wall to make it very sturdy. I was worried when reading the reviews about the “thin” sides, but they are pretty standard and sturdy as long as you don’t plan on ramming your shoulders into the side at high velocity. The shelves are very easy to put in at your desired levels and they stay in place and don’t wobble. Overall I definitely recommend this bookshelf!
