Review on Amazon Basics Modern 5-Tier Ladder Bookshelf Organizer, Solid Rubberwood Frame - Espresso Finish by Joe Montalvo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sturdy bookshelf. Great value for money. Hard to assemble.

✓ 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"
