Don't bother with furniture

Well. statistically you think that at least one of the two products you buy will not break. But that's not why I play the lottery. Both bookshelves had cracks on the top shelf. One (shown) is very important and is in the area facing up. The other has a crack pointing down but still breaking the integrity of the top. It took a lot of effort to unpack all of this and I won't repack it. Sauder can send me 2 new tops (no cracks please) or I won't assemble them at all.

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • Almost everything is there

Sturdy and beautiful

It was great. I bought three to use as play shelves behind our sofa in our large room. My husband didn't have much trouble putting it together - the only thing that went wrong was that the top is pretty flimsy, so he tightened a screw the first time and it almost popped out of the top. However, after that little training experience, he stopped trying to elongate himself as much and the rest looked great. We've been using them for a few months now and they look great and are strong enough to…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are some nuances

Good bookshelves for a small library

The bookcase is sturdy. Nice solid colour. They are similar in design to solid wood rather than chipboard. There were no chips and all the details were accurately given. I bought two of these bookshelves. My first was a complete success. The second box had a flaw: the holes in the panels were too small for the dowels and they were misaligned. I contacted Sauder and informed them of this accident. They verified the purchase and immediately sent a replacement. I received them within 48 hours. It…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Upgradable

To Fail or Not to Fail

Without Revain's excellent customer service, this item would have been a total FAIL and would have been only awarded 1 star. My previous experiences with Sauder have been good; The table got 4 stars so I thought NP with matching bookshelf. The problem was the gear didn't fit properly and after spending three grueling hours putting it together we gave up and I was sweaty in my office. Not good. Partially assembled it was impossible to return but Revane came and sent me a replacement with no…

Pros
  • New to My Collection
Cons
  • Crumpled

A little trouble, worth buying

I am happy with my new bookcase. I bought it to use as a kind of entry table for my apartment and of course as a bookshelf. It's chipboard, but it's heavy and strong. Pros: Sturdy, looks good, not very expensive (paid $70.99), works for what I intended, arrived a few days early and was delivered to my door (I live upstairs) Cons: Was a bit Difficult to assemble crates (in particular the orientation of the m49 part). Mine came with holes pre-drilled so I had to drill them myself. Thank god I…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Doubt

just as expected

I bought two of these to get around the Sauder Leisure Center and they meet the very high expectations I always have of Sauder furniture. Material: High-density chipboard with a laminate finish, but don't let that fool you. It looks and feels like solid wood without the risk of the wood warping and splitting. Once assembled it feels very solid and looks great. Assembly was easy as I carefully verified the use of the original Sauder concealed fixings. But it can be difficult for a beginner, so…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not the best

CRITICAL BUILDING TIPS!

Just finished assembling three Sauder 2 shelf cabinets and two 5 shelf cabinets. Another two shelf case is on the way so you know I'm a fan. But there are a few important things you must do to get a finished product that you are happy with. I have posted the same review on 2 shelf and 5 shelf products so sorry if this is your second time seeing this. My cases are made from oiled walnut, so if your cases are a different color you will need to change my tips accordingly. IMHO you are unlikely to…

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • Long delivery time
