Review on 📚 Homissue 7-Tier Tall Bookshelf Storage Display Rack for Home Office in Rustic Brown Finish by Laura Bates

Plus points: Relatively easy assembly. It may take a little while, but it's not difficult at all. The instructions are clear and the holes line up correctly. - All shelves are cross braced so I don't think they will bend. - The colors look very nice. - Overall everything looks like the picture and has a good height. Cons due to damage in transit: - We ordered two bookshelves and both rest on the top third when fully assembled (pictured). The first wasn't that bad and we thought we could probably fix it, but the second is pretty drastic so we'll probably be sending it back. The black paint is scratched and worn in several places (picture). . Disadvantages associated with poor design: - All bolts that use nuts are cut too long and protrude 1/4 to 1/2 inch past the nut. If we flip them as instructed in the instructions, they will surely scratch the wall once we fix them, so we flipped them and they look a bit ugly, but they can probably be fixed with bolt cutters. - Welds are disgusting (pictured). ). They're all wonky, little pins, and the beads don't go all the way, and some of them are cut so half are even and half aren't. Most of the connections weren't even finished yet, so there are gaps in the corners with no beading. It's not noticeable from a distance, but it's kind of distracting up close - The standoffs came with drywall screws and I just feel like that's not enough for the weight when we add the books. I'm not exactly sure how we're going to mount it because since these are brackets and not straps, they have to run on vertical joists and the shelves are the wrong width to line up both brackets. hairpins. I think we could put them on the crossbars but that would look ugly and they don't seem particularly strong. It might be a good idea to buy separate straps. If our bookshelves were delivered in good overall condition, I think the other issues are something I could work around or forget about and I'd be happy with them for the price, but I think the tilt crosses the line of appeal and functionality . However, what worries me is that they deform so easily; I don't think I would trust them with the stated weight limit.
