📚 Stylish and Functional Atlantic Oskar 5 Shelf Bookcase in Espresso PN38408139 Review

I had some issues assembling the bookshelf. I had to disassemble the bookshelf and then try to put it back together. I was successful. I had to be patient while assembling. Luckily, it can be taken apart without damaging the bookshelf. The instructions could have been better.

This bookshelf for our apartment to keep my books and the holding my partner's books. With five shelves, it comfortably accommodates the books we keep at home (except for the collection I have in my storage :p). It was fairly easy to put together and took about forty minutes to put together. I don't feel like it's as durable as other bookshelves I've bought from furniture stores in the past, but it helps.

Life in AK makes things like this difficult. I was very happy to find very specific size bookshelves at this price point that could be shipped to AK. The structure is made of chipboard, the same material as the regular store. It's not great, but it's what I expected. Assembly was fairly quick - DO NOT use power tools to assemble. They are too strong and can easily break chipboard. Once assembled and fixed to the wall, they become quite strong. Time will tell if they hold up to use.
