looks good

Date: November 10, 2009

"Kind of complicated to assemble but I did it myself in a couple of hours. Looks good and functions OK. The shelf placement is limited (not enough holes for the shelf supports) so only really 4 shelves for books and 2 shelves for very short things. More holes would give 5 functional shelves for books. Kind of too bad...."

"After a difficult building process I found that the sliding doors do NOT align with the frame of the bookcase. This results in a noticeable gap when the doors are 'closed'. May not be something that bugs most people, but once you see it you can't stop looking at it!"

Great 12 shelf bookcase

"I was very happy indeed with our 12 shelf bookcase. With all these kinds of products I find a little extra effort makes for a very solid product: first I mark the halfway point on the wooden dowels then glue one end with wood glue and tap them into place. Tap them a little past the halfway mark. Then WAIT for 24 hours. In the final stage I glue all wood to wood surfaces, including the backing, and assemble as per instructions. Put in the shelves and the doors. How the doors line up tells you how square the unit is - have someone push it until the doors fit perfectly and hold it there. Now carefully drill holes for flat metal L-brackets and screw one bracket into each corner at the back of the unit. This will keep it square and since you are drilling into hardwood will make for a very solid book shelf. We are very happy and have it loaded with books. You have to be a little careful when sliding the doors since they are light - use the handle - but overall for the price we are very satisfied."

Very Unhappy

Date: June 3, 2009

"I bought three of your products. One required extensive assembly and one required none. I was extremely pleased with both. It was the third item, a bookcase which was not inexpensive, in which I was very displeased. It requires assembly and it is that which is the origin of my complaint. The design is such that when assembled, and with no books on the shelves, the shelves collapsed. What followed was extensive repair of the body and shelves with “Crazy Glue”, wood putty and a great deal of my time. I replaced the four small pins that supported each shelf by insertion into small holes in the side panel which fit into groves under the shelf. Clearly, a poor design, for the small pins could not hold the wooden shelves. I then screwed in 90 degree metal brackets to support the shelves. These brackets supported the shelves extremely well even with books on the shelves. The bookcase is now intact and functioning. However, the doors do not fit. One is flush at the top and the other is flush at the bottom.
Why would any company allow such a poor design to be used in an otherwise attractive product? I don’t mind assembling an item but my money and time spent to do repairs and improve the design was a lot to expect. In the future I would be cautious buying an item from your company that required assembly for fear of an identical incident. Please find a new method for supporting shelves; perhaps my solution of using metal braces. Consider me a very weary and unhappy costumer."

"The piece has a beautifil appearance. The quality of the glass doors are good, however they dont sit and slide and the track as well as i thnk they should. They are a little shakey when opening and closing."

would not recomend

Date: December 10, 2008

"Looks good, easy to put together BUT
the sides along with tri-fold backing are
not strong enough to support shelves.
Thus, doors do not hang straight, shelves
are in danger of falling."

Nice but...

Date: November 29, 2008

"I like the bookcase a lot , is strong and it wasn't difficult to assemble but for the money, the doors don't close all the way and is upsetting since i do like the piece. I was giving a small refund which helps."

"A big pain to assemble. Back panel is chintzy. Because of discoloration in door pulls I received half off. If I hadn't I would have returned."
