Overall a good bookcase Date: October 30, 2009
"I really like the clean, sophisticated look and functionality of this bookcase. I ordered mine in dark cherry and the color is warm and beautiful. The workmanship was not as great as other products I've purchased from Home Decorators - the front bottom rail was a tiny bit short, but I'm not sure anyone would notice if they didn't know. Also, one of the doors doesn't line up quite right with the others. Again, perhaps something only I will notice. The pieces did have a couple little nicks and scratches upon arrival. Overall, it was quite easy to assemble. However, I gave a moderate rating under assembly because the directions were rather challenging. Definitely take time to put thought into it as you assemble and MAKE SURE your pieces are oriented correctly as per the pictures. Otherwise you could end up assembling it more than once. The instructions say it takes two to assemble, but I did it myself no problem - took about 5 hours. Aside from the couple flaws I already mentioned, this is a great bookcase. Perfect size, and I love having the cabinets down below for storing things. Very sturdy as well, with nice detail."

Not what it seems Date: October 29, 2009
"I ordered the "blonde" oak bookcases because they looked like they would match my hard wood floor. Boy was I wrong! I understand a computer monitor can "alter" colors a tad, but my dang bookcases came in a REDDISH RUST COLOR!! I was told I could probably change the color to my liking, but there is a satin finish on this product and it cannot be done.

One review said the doors didn't match up. On one bookcase they did, on the other I had to order another set. It took over 5 hours (for both) to put them together and unless you brackett them to the wall, they are wobbly. Also, the support blocks under both bookcases broke.

I opted to keep the bookcases as I just didn't have the energy to send them back. I am hoping once I get the shelves where I want them and decorated, they will grow on me.

Home Decorators offers a lot of nice things. I would not recommend these cases unless you plan on bolting them to the wall and painting them."

"Product was damaged in more than one place but after unwrapping 3 huge boxes (which didn't even arrive on the same days) and completing about 4 hours of assembly who's going to ship it back at that point? Quality not as good as led to believe."

Good purchase Date: March 17, 2009
"The bookcases were moderately difficult to assemble. The included directions though made the whole process a snap. An old story-good directions and a good assembly
We're very pleased with the quality and the product is exactly what you advertised in your catalog info."

Doors are lopsided Date: January 24, 2009
"The first thing that broke was the middle support when my husband was putting the book case together. I remember reading that this also happened to someone else when they assembled the book case. When he put the doors on they were not aligned and there is nothing that can be done to make them align properly. Many of the holes also did not align properly so he had to make his own holes. I woud highly suggest getting the mission style bookcases as we were much happier with these."

Worst Product Ever Date: January 20, 2009
"Terrible product. I have assembled many products before and this was the worst by far. Clearly minimal thought went into the instructions and assembly process. We were unable to complete the assembly due to poor workmanship and fracture of a cam. No extra cams were provided. I would never buy a product from this company again. Horrible experience."

great product Date: November 19, 2008
"These shelves look fantastic and are a great bargain. They easily compare with more expensive ready-made shelving. Assembly is somewhat arduous but straightforward; just be ready to put in the time and the elbow grease. The finished product is well worth it. I love the way they look and the sturdiness."

Great Bookcase Date: October 12, 2008
"I wanted to find something that was not too tall but was wide enough to accomodate lots of books.
I purchased the black finish and it matches most of the other pieces that i have purchased before
Instruction made this easy to assemble."

Not Great - Just OK Date: September 27, 2008
"My wife was really excited to have me put this together. The assembly for the most part was okay. The area that is really lacking is that the doors to not fit properly and there is no way to adjust them. One of the door rubs the top of opening and the other door has a gap at the top. I was disappointed that pieces just didn't fit as well as they could have."

Defective part Date: September 25, 2008
"I discovered that there was a defective center leg along with the pre-drilled and set receiving plate at the very end of the assembly. I did not want to take it all apart and replaced into two giant boxes to return because that was just too much trouble. Instead, I am going to see if the construction will hold up without that center leg OR try a repair once I can get another person her to help me man-handle it."

"This piece of furniture was an excellent choice for the room. My husband remarked it was of higher quality than some other pieces we have purchased. He also remarked that all the parts and pieces were labeled well, which made assembly much easier. I will enjoy this piece as a means of showing off some of my collections for years to come.."

It's great for a kids playroom Date: September 18, 2008
"We bought this piece for our kids play room and in the book the dark cherry looks darker than it accually is. We ended up painting it the color that we wanted. Also, when we moved the furniture to desired location the middle leg peg came out. And it looks to me that it is press board not solid wood. If I'm wrong about that, I'm sorry, but that's just what I see."
