Amazon Basics Ladder Bookshelf Organizer, 5-Tier, Solid Rubberwood Frame, White Finish, 14 D x 24.8 W x 70.1 H in

✓ Package arrived on time and in perfect condition. No damages. No missing parts.Please note that this product is shipped via Ground and by "on time" I mean the normal amount of time it takes for Ground shipping (In my case it usually takes 6-7 days).✓ Material : Particle boards. Particle Wood Frame.✓ Quality: Great. Extremely sturdy!✓ All required Hardware are included. In addition to the included hardware, the assembly process requires a Philip screwdriver. I also used a 3.6V power screwdriver (from Ikea).✓ Assembly and installation: Hard.- The instruction manual contains only picture illustrations. It does not provide any worded explanation. But the illustrations are quite understandable.- The pre drilled holes are a little too small for the included hardware. This requires us to put in a lot of power and effort to install this bookshelf. I used a 3.6 V power screwdriver in certain steps during the installation and it saved me a lot of energy.- Even though at the end of the installation we get a sturdy and strong bookshelf, I strongly feel that the entire process could have been made a lot more easier if only the predrilled holes were a little bigger.✓ This bookshelf can be used as a stand alone assembly OR could be installed on to the wall. Hardware is included for both options. I opted to use this as a standalone assembly. For this, two blocks are included which need to be attached to the two hind legs of the bookshelf. This prevents the bookshelf from tipping over. But please note that if you are using this standalone option, the bookshelf is going to be protruding 3.5 inches from the wall.✓ So at the end, I've got a very strong and sturdy bookshelf after a long and tedious installation process. The exceptional quality and sturdiness of this product outweighs the problems encountered during it's installation. Hence I've given it a 5 star rating.✓ Dimensions;Overall height - 71"Width - 25"Depths of the shelves are as follows:Bottom most shelf - 13.5"First shelf from the bottom - 11.1"Second shelf from the bottom - 9"Third shelf from bottom (second from top) - 6.8"Top most shelf - 4.5"

Overall, 5 stars. It's perfect for what we wanted - to frame our TV & create an entertainment center that focused on our books, plants, & pictures. The assembly was weird... I'm an Ikea put-together-er professional (or at least I consider myself one), and I follow directions well. Some of the holes didn't line up with ease and you had to force hold while you're assembling. Now, you didn't have redrill or anything like that, just use some strength. If you have little kids, I'd secure them to the walls. I don't so I'm not too worried about that. There's a larger gap if you have floor molding between the back of the shelf and the wall. So if you put pocket books on there, then there's a possibility they might slip back, but other than that, these were exactly what we were looking for and I'd recommend them!

Pros:It looks pretty from across the room. The frame is actual wood and has an even, glossy finish, while the shelves have a "brown" veneer that makes it less attractive (see photo). But once you get stuff on them, that veneer is barely visible. It IS pretty sturdy - I do not expect "puppy parkour" to knock it over even if I don't attach it to the wall. It has good height (I'm 5'5-1/2" and it's taller than me), which is what I was looking for.Cons:This thing was a beast to put together. Be sure to grab a real screwdriver and (if you have one) a nut driver with a hex bit (they send an allen wrench) as the pre-drilled holes need a little muscle to get the hex-head screws in. Pro tip - install the wood pegs and cam studs FIRST, then drop the shelves into place and attach all the screws - yes, the second rail goes on AFTER putting the shelves on. Second pro tip: when putting the shelves on, put the top one on first and work your way down. The picture-directions show you putting screws in after you put the shelves on, but if you put the lower shelves on first, you have very little room to work when doing the next layer up, even if you put it together with it laying on its side because the rails are in the way. There are small brass L brackets used to support the FRONT of each shelf. Unfortunately, they are obvious once it's all put together. But the only thing holding the front of the shelves up is the cam and stud and they are very cheap and fragile, so if you don't use the support brackets and put something heavy on the shelf, you could end up wearing it. A real irritation - the seller put actual stickers directly on the wood on the outside of the sides. And while that's great for identifying which part is which, trying to peel them off will get you nothing but sticky stuff. Third pro tip - use WD40 on a rag to get the stickers off. Wipe the WD40 on and let it sit for a few moments. The sticker should peel right off along with the sticky stuff. I do not recommend using a blade to scrape it as the finish isn't the greatest and might be damaged, but if you're patient, it might work. I just used my thumb nail.Overall:It looks good from across the room and will do the trick, but it would almost be worth paying someone else to put it together!! LOL***Sorry the photos are sideways. Old photo software that won't allow me to put them upright! But they show the color of the shelves compared to the rails, the stickers, the L brackets and the overall finished product.

Overall I'm very happy with this bookshelf, it wasn't expensive, wasn't bad to put together, and seems sturdy. The instructions are only diagrams but if you take some time to look through them first and match up the various screws and parts it's not bad.I've ordered another and will definitely use a drill next time since it took more elbow grease than I expected especially for all the small fiddly screws for the brackets. The whole thing fit together well though, which was nice since I've had some cheap furniture that didn't line up at all.I haven't put anything in it yet but it seems very sturdy and the instructions say that each shelf holds 25 lbs. There are extra blocks you can screw on to make it more stable if you don't attach it to the wall, but I may remove them so it's flat against the wall instead.
