Sauder Beginnings 3-Shelf Bookcase: Highland Oak Finish - Organize your Space with Style Review

These bookshelves are easy to assemble and look good. I bought two to separate my "office" area from my living room. I think they were good value for money too. They seem solid (especially with all the books added).

I think pictures speak louder than words. But I built this shelf myself, and for someone who has never used a hammer or built anything, it was surprisingly easy to build! It's also very deep, you can easily double it if you're short on space. But it's definitely durable, the color is attractive, and it can hold a lot of books.

We needed a basic bookshelf. This product was spot on and cheaper than the cheapest product from major Scandinavian retailer "I". This product does exactly what we need and is not just cheap, really cheap. It has an authentic photo veneer chipboard construction with high quality 'Highland Oak' top which comes with a warning not to move the shelf until it is installed as the whole could fall apart. Assembly took about 30-40 minutes without additional parts, so don't miss anything.

I bought 3 pieces as a temporary solution. They are so cheap that I planned to give them to Goodwill when I moved abroad. When I finished building the first one, I was so sick I just couldn't make another one. I first sat in the corner and soon realized that my whole apartment stank of this stench. I ended up putting it outside under the roof - it was raining. The smell is so strong I'm not sure it will ever go away. As if a strong aroma had been added to the glue in the chipboard. It's…

I'm usually scared of buying bookshelves, TV stands, etc. because the assembly often turns into a nightmare. There always seem to be a thousand or so, the screw threads are often wobbly, the pre-drilled holes never line up properly, and the list goes on. This bookcase definitely seems to be an exception to that rule - it's also made in the USA, which is probably no coincidence. Assembling this bookshelf consisted of installing eight (8) quality screws in properly aligned and adequately…

I bought a bookcase because it was advertised as being made in the USA. I got the one marked in China. feeling deceived. I put together several bookshelves for me and my son, this one is one of a kind. The 2 sides and 2 shelves (top and bottom) were connected with 8 screws, the entire bottom shelf literally touches the wooden floor, which means it takes 2 people to move this small bookshelf. Gaps are visible between each adjustable shelf and the side panels. The 24 included nails hold the back…

If you are looking for a small, inexpensive, but durable bookshelf, this is a great buy. I needed a small bookshelf where I could place video games/movies/books in the media center area of my house. I ended up buying two of these to keep my room symmetrical, but that doesn't matter. This bookcase is very easy to assemble (supplied disassembled of course), all you need is a hammer and a screwdriver. I'm not handy and it was even easy for me to assemble! The shelves are adjustable so you can…

Other reviewers say it's easy to put together. But that's not the case. Unfortunately it took me 7 months to try it, so I can't return it. At 31 pounds, it's tremendously heavy. Also difficult to assemble. It takes 24 nails to attach the back brace! TWENTY-FOUR nails! Made from chipboard (compressed sawdust). One hit with a screwdriver or hammer and this thing EXPLODES before you even put it together! And it does NOT come with its own tools! You will need a screwdriver, a hammer and a tape…

Let's start by saying these are not fashionable bookcases and I didn't expect them to be. I was looking for a simple, efficient, attractive, and well-made bookcase to increase storage space on my desk at work. They had good reviews, the price seemed fair so I ordered 2 and shipped them to my office. Summary of my review. I love her. :) Now for the rest of the story if you want more details. PACKAGING The packaging was VERY strong, using solid cardboard but with the addition of corner…
