Module d'organisation polyvalent Hertford Montessori - Solution de rangement polyvalente - Fabrication MDP - Capacité de 61 lb

Shelf overall is good and sturdy. The directions to out it together were lacking. It was so bad that I can’t add the extra shelving to make it into a cubby like shelf, so it’s going to stay like this. Wish the directions were better so that I could make it like it’s advertised.

The Hertford Montessori Multi-purpose Organizer Module is a reasonably sturdy book/toy shelf that holds a fair amount of items. The small shelf dividers on the bottom and middle shelf provide more support and add to the stability of the shelf unit, but unfortunately, these dividers also limit the storage ability to smaller items. The instructions for putting the shelf together were pretty bad - not all the pieces were identified so there was a lot of interpreting the pictures (no written instruction/explanation) to assemble the unit correctly. It took about 1 hour to assemble and I found it easier to lay the shelf on its side in order to complete assembly by myself. I have purchased units similar to this at big box stores and they were much easier to put together. I also didn't like the fact that all the screws are exposed on the sides of the unit. In my opinion, this is better suited for storage in a closet.

Sadly, this package had a difficult journey - it arrived missing a supporting vertical shelf piece so it couldn’t be safely assembled. One of the pieces to keep the back panels aligned was also broken on arrival. It seemed like it would have been wonderful if all the pieces had been accounted for!

The shelf was pretty easy to put together, instructions were pretty easy to understand. It only took about 20 minutes to put together. It does come with the little tabs to put into the poles where the screws are. But it would have been nice to have a few extra to put in the holes that were not used for the pegs. I decided to keep an open shelf with no divider….

The instructions with this are very vague so it took a little time figuring that out. Box came damaged, so there’s a little chipping on the particle board, but I can handle that. The black is a smooth black, unlike ones that have a grain look. It comes with backing to be nailed on, but I’m choosing to leave it off for now because I think I’m gonna use it as an open shelving stand for small plants. The backing puts a white background on it, I’m not sure if I like that.
