Assembly by myself took a little over an hour… Would definitely be quicker with a helper and if you’re short, good luck… I’m 6’2 and those top shelves are up there… I purchased another bookcase from Wayfair a few months back but my library had quickly outgrown it so tried to order a second one to match but it was back ordered twice… After much searching this one was a great price and was larger than the prior to figured at least I shouldn’t outgrow this anytime soon… I’m very please with this item… I think they should offer it with other color shelves though… I think they black looks nice but would have preferred a walnut finish to match the other one I already have…

This piece looks fantastic in the space I wanted it for- it took 2 of us to put it together, but it wasnt horribly difficult. Quick shipping as always and the price was unbeatable!

It’s a great bookcase for the price, but not as great on quality as I would have liked. Shelves are a tiny bit thin.

I love the look of these bookshelves. They weren’t too difficult to put together although you do need to pay close attention to where the shelves are placed and to be sure the support pieces are all facing the same direction. It was difficult to tell which way was correct until the end and at that point I had to take some off and turn the around.

HELLO, I GIVE THE ETAGERE BOOKCASE 5 STARS. I THANK LATITUDE RUN FOR DESIGNING THIS BOOKCASE TO BE ASSEMBLED WITH ALL SCREWS!! SO MANY BOOKCASES HAVE A ZILLION WOOD DOWELS THAT BREAK AND JUST DOESNT CREATE A SECURE SHELF OR STURDY BOOKCASE. SO, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE SIMPLE SCREW SYSTEM AND SOLID STRUCTURE OF THIS BOOKCASE. THE METAL AND WOOD GIVES A CLEAN, MODERN LOOK. IM USING THE BOOKCASE IN MY BATHROOM. I LEFT OFF THE 2 BOTTOM SHELVES FROM THE MIDDLE AND ITS THE PERFECT SPACE FOR MY BATHROOM TRASHCAN. I LIKE THAT THERE ARE ENOUGH SHELVES, FOR ME TO ORGANIZE ALL MY DECOR THAT I HAVE NOW AND WHATLL ADD AT A LATER TIME. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS WONDERFUL BOOKCASE. THANK U.
