Tree Bookshelf 4-Tier, Bamboo Wood Bookcase Free Standing Book Shelves, Modern Book Storage Organizer Shelves for CDs/Albums/Books/Files Holder, Storage Bookshelf for Living Room, Bedroom, Home Office

I like that this shelf saves a bit of space on my over-crowded bookshelves. It gets lots of compliments, and it has held up nicely since I assembled in two months ago.But it is not easy to assemble, and you will need more tools than are provided, such as a socket wrench to tighten bolts in very small spaces.

Tip to put together so you don't need a 2" screwdriver: start with the top shelf and work down, on a flat surface and assemble the shelves before you put on the back and base. Be mindful that the countersunk side faces the base and is the side you screw from and all boards have screw holes on one end to secure the back so make sure they all face the same way. Then turn it over so screw holes to the back face up and put the base in place and attach the back. Set it on, then line up all the holes and partially screw all the back screws on before going back and fully securing them. It really is very easy this way, just keep everything on a flat surface and put the screws in a small bowl so they don't roll away. All that said, the unit is great. It's lighter than the golden color pic shows. Works great to store makeup palettes and solved an unsightly storage problem I had. Looks great on the vanity now and supereasy to just grab the one I want. I like it and would recommend it. It's interesting to look at.

The price is good, and I like that it's solid bamboo instead of MDF. That said, you can see that they fabrication method of the bamboo "planks" could use some work - they leave a lot of blemish on the surface, and there's a lot of tear-out at the edges.As for the manual - forget it. It tells you to build the frame first and then upwards, with the (surprisingly sturdy) screwdriver they give you. Don't bother - it's easier if you build from the top down, leaves first, since you get better access to the screws that way, and THEN attach that to the frame. Also, use a drill.

Love the design!!! really well thought out both in terms of materials (quality bamboo boards, counter sink holes for the screw heads to be hidden below the surface, proper hardware - 1” screws) as well as overall stability of the bookshelf (well proportioned, base wide and deep enough for the shelf not to tip over).This arrived well packed and every board wrapped in protective sheet, with illustrated instructions sheet that was easy to read and understand. Boards were clearly labeled, making assembly easier. Included screwdriver handle was too long to fit between the shelves (5” apart which is a pretty tight space), I had to find a shorter one to assemble this.Bookshelf looks great as a tabletop item as well as on the floor, and does have an impressive book holding capacity. Definitely recommend.

The screws don’t go in because the previous board doesn’t leave enough space to use the screwdriver provided, and even when using my own tool (see pic) it was almost impossible to assemble. The screws are so hard to put in and the heads are such an odd size that my standard Phillips headed specialty driver didn’t fit them well and made my hands super sore and red after building. Seriously do not recommend this product!Update: so I bought multiple of this when I did my order and decided to try building it backwards (so started at the last step in the directions and worked to the first). This did fix the spacing issue but was kind of complicated and not all that easy… but it did work. Still not changing my rating as I feel this is a major design flaw.
