Sauder Miscellaneous Storage Bookcase, Chalked Chestnut finish

A really solid piece of furniture and looks good. The instructions are clear and everything went together smoothly. Do allow some time and patience to do the job right. I don't usually do reviews, but this product is worth a shout out.

Easy to build simple instructions, and looks great it's hard to tell its OSB, just be easy when screwing it together. Great bookshelf

So I ended up picking this up to expand my living room storage for books and box sets etc. This shelf is actually kind of perfect for my living room and gives me a nice amount of space to organize some larger items I have in my collection. Took about an hour to put together solo, not difficult, everything lined up without issue. Quality wise, well, you get what you pay for and this obviously isn't a $500 shelf... it's adequate and looks a bit nicer than it probably should though when light hits it at certain angles you can tell it's not real wood. Seems like it will hold some weight decently well though I won't be pushing it. Should also mention it's a darker cherry colour in person, which in my case is a good thing and my preference, the pics for the product are obviously taken under bright lights. TL;DR If you need some extra storage space and have limited space, this should fit your needs. It looks pretty good though I'd maybe avoid loading it up with super heavy books and potentially keep a wood colour touch up marker handy just in case you scratch it. At the end of the day this shelf works well for me and I'm satisfied with my purchase. :)

Suggest you read all directions first. Sturdy and easy to assemble. I would have given it five stars if it would have listed the item as wooden and it is particle board with a wood look surface. Although it looks very nice and serves the purpose it is in my opinion listed improperly.

Needed to provide additional storage for art books and other items in family room as I was setting up a small area for watercolor painting. I have purchased many Sauder bookcases over the years and have always been pleased with the produce as quality for the price and a final handsome produce no matter the style and finish type. Construction and directions have always been excellent and if followed carefully never a problem. The materials have always arrived securely packaged without any scratches, blemishes of any type. Over the years that whenever I have needed extra storage capacity for books or other hobbies I have always looked to Sauder for the solution and as of now have never been disappointed. One construction suggestion on the recent 2 shelf bookcase would be to make the back panel just a little larger on its length (not width) as the panel has plenty of room to extend over the bottom base and make it much easier to line up and get a proper fit. Overall, a 5 star rating!
