– Custos Collection - Bookshelf, 6-Tier Bookcase, Book Shelf, Open Storage Shelf, 9.4 x 23.6 x 63.3 Inches, for Living Room, Home Office, Dinning Room, Camel Brown ULBC166T50

The structural rigidity of this bookcase is entirely dependent on the 8 (2inch) coarse thread scews. One is screwing into predrilled holes in "chip board". I initially snugged all 8 & found that was not enough. I knew that the chipboard holes limit the torque ... however ... I was willing to sacrifice one hole (if necessary) to make this "BOX" ... wobble-free. I was surprised as to how much more "snugness" these holes/screws can take ... in order for this box to be quite solid. Keep checking rigidity as you tighten the screws carefully.

Very sturdy and holds all of my daughter's books. Seems to be made well and keeps everything organized. Installation was easy.

Exactly what I expected when I ordered, since I rely on melamine pieces for my laundry, studio, home office and this utility closet tucked in under the stairs — inexpensive, sturdy, quick to construct, very practical and easy to keep clean. The Allen wrench is included, but note you’ll need that specific bit if you want to use a drill — which makes everything quick! Just don’t drill to fast or you’ll push right through the fiberboards. I finished in about 20 minutes, but then I’ve done a lot of this. It was nice to find that they included 1-2 extra of each type of hardware, though luckily didn’t need any of it as the screw heads didn’t strip or anything else fail. Note that the screws are visible on each side and no solution provided by the manufacturer, so I covered mine with some thick white sticky dots from a previous piece; you could also just fill and paint them or even pop on a white mailing label cut to size! I can’t stand them, even in a utility closet. :-) A hammer isn’t listed in the instructions, but you’ll need it to tap in the bottom feet. Also, if you’re like me and don’t want the huge, obnoxious stickers threatening you to screw this thing to your wall (I don’t have pets or children, or climb on furniture myself), just use a hair dryer to warm it up for a minute and they will peel off without leaving residue; I also had to do this with the lettered stickers identifying each part as they tried to leave glue behind. There are three positions drilled for each of the two shelves so they can be adjusted even after assembly, and I appreciate the metal pegs rather than the breakable plastic pegs that come with my older pieces. Also, I really like the new type of backing - the accordion-folded, coated cardboard slides into a slot rather than having to carefully hammer it to the back with teeny tiny nails I could never hold or, worse, those plastic-headed tacks where the nail always bent or broke through the plastic - worst part of putting together the old pieces! And don’t skip the little plastic braces - they keep the backing nice and tight, and less likely to be bent or broken if you push something a bit too far onto the shelves. Anyhoo, if you have realistic expectations and don’t manhandle it while doing the construction, I think you’ll also be satisfied with this bookshelf. I wouldn’t hesitate to order another one if the need arises.

Love this unit! Like the color, quality, packaging. Thinking of buying another and I just got it today. Have to put it together. Excellent instructions

Poor directions on how to attach the top shelf. Try getting help and they ask a bunch of questions instead of giving you a simple answer to a simple question.
