Review on πŸ“š VASAGLE Tree Bookshelf ULBC11BX: 8-Tier Floor Standing Bookcase with Wooden Shelves – Ideal for Living Room, Home Office DΓ©cor – Rustic Brown Design by Sara Lewis

Revainrating 2 out of 5

So much potential - flawed design!

I was so excited to receive this bookshelf and have waited a FULL month for it to be delivered (only within the advertised 2 week delivery window). It was pretty easy to put together - I made a few mistakes (rotated some parts wrong) but they're easy to fix. When construction was almost complete, I figured out that the bookshelf should be mounted on the wall like a painting or piece of art. The instructions tell you that the shelf cannot be moved by sliding and that to move you must remove all items and lift the shelf. Ultimately, it's not mobile at all and doesn't look 'good' with relatively few books (pictured). You lose some of the beauty of the wood, which makes me think it's more of an accent piece than a practical one. If you look closely at my photo, you will see that there is a ledge on my walls that makes it impossible to put a bookshelf close to the wall. One of the attached pictures shows the assembly step to attach the shelf to the wall. If I had known they designed a wall mounted floor shelf I would not have bought it.
