Mainstays 5 Shelf Bookcase with Doors, Black Finish

For the price point it's definitely worth the buy. You definitely have to use the screws to connect to the wall or it will tip over from a little toddler like mine. Easy to assemble and it looks really nice to display. For the price point it’s definitely worth the buy.

I ordered 4 of these and 2 arrived damaged upon opening. The package was fine so I felt no need to rush and assemble. I assembled 2 when I first received them and I am now assembling the other 2. I have opened both and found damaged pieces, and it’s too late for them to address the issue. Make sure you check the product because a package in good condition does not mean you’re safe. They take a while to put together but look good after assembly. That’s why I only did 2 instead of all 4.

The Mainstays traditional 5 shelf bookshelf with doors was a great addition to my space. It offers plenty of storage for books, decor, and baskets while helping keep clutter hidden behind the doors. The design looks clean and classic, especially for the price point. Assembly took some time, but the instructions were easy enough to follow. Once put together, it feels sturdy and looks much more expensive than expected. Overall, a great budget-friendly storage piece for an office, bedroom, or living room.

I couldn’t find bookshelves that fit my space, so I bought two of these in different colors and mirrored them side by side. It ended up creating a really nice custom look that feels more high-end than expected. Assembly was straightforward, and the overall quality is solid for the price. I’ll be fully styling them once the rest of my items arrive, but even empty they already look great together.

One of my planks (S) came damaged, the veneer sheet was coming off at 2 different spots. Besides that, it looks pretty good when it's fully assembled. Also, the stickers to cover the outside screws do not stick to the furniture, it would have ben best if came with plastic screw covers.

I bought this because the shelves are 11.7" deep. Most books won't stick out past the shelf end, the other book cases I looked at were 9" deep. It seems most books are more than 9" wide. It is 26.4" wide so its fairly small but big enough to handle quite a few books, it won't take up a huge amount of space. It has adjustable shelves and it has doors, also a back board, backing, at the back of the book case. Easy to put together and solid. The one problem I had is the back board comes in two pieces that nail to the back of the bookcase and they overlap one another. The bottom board is supposed to overlap the top board so that you don't see the overlap from the front of the bookcase. I didn't have my orientation correct so I overlapped the bottom board with the top board and you can see the overlap from the front of the bookcase. Other than that putting it together is pretty straight forward. Because of the height they provide anchor straps and screws to connect the top of the bookcase to the wall so that it won't tip over forward. I can't put holes in the wall, an apartment, so I used shims under the front of the bookcase so that it leans backward. It's on carpet and about 2 -3 inches from the wall. The idea is that the weight of the books will be more toward the back of the bookcase and it will have less of a tendency to come forward. It seems to be working really well so far.

a couple pieces came damaged, and the top and bottom halves are not 100% secure. the top can be pushed back and removed from the bottom. it looks great though! and for $70, i can live those small issues. overall, it's a good product. a lot of storage, doors are secure. easy to build, and the finished product looks great.

Everything didn't line up and QC wasn't the best but I'm delighted overall with my bookshelf and was able to use the included stickers to cover the holes that were drilled into the wrong side of the shelf

Bookshelves were easy to assemble and look nice. One issue was that it had to wiped down the pieces due to them being covered in dust. also the stickers they give you for covering up screws aren't the right color there more of a dark gray than a black.

The product looks good and is little sturdy but the were missing some items like nails %26 pivot hinges. I couldnt complete assembly. I reached out to Walmart and they couldn’t send the parts, they expect to disassemble entire shelf and send drop it off to FedEX to get replacement or refund. Luckily, the walmart customer service was able to give back partial refund after I recommended to buy parts elsewhere. Assembly was not difficult and instructions were pretty clear. Now, Ill look for parts and try to complete the assembly.
