Sauder 5-Shelf Bookcase, Chalked Chestnut Finish

This bookcase looks like it would cost 2x what it did cost!! Took a man 30 min to do it!! Very sturdy and would nice!! Would buy it again!!

I really love these shelves They make such a change in my living room!!! The only thing I am not fond of is the things to hide the screws. They are white and do not match the shelves as I'd have expected. The shelves are heavy and seem very sturdy though and for me that is the most important thing!

We are very happy with the shelves. We had bought 3 5-shelf bookcases to accommodate the large number of books our daughter has accumulated. The bookcase color and quality is so much better than we had expected. We love the detailing and the thickness of each shelf. It did take some time for my husband to install but it was not difficult.

This shelf is great. It is much more sturdy than the ones I would buy at the big box store. It was pretty easy to put together. I like the trim on the front of the shelves. It will help prevent the shelves from warping. Great design! I also love how you can buy matching pieces for your room. We bought an L shape desk.

Today I am buying my 12th bookcase of this brand, and they are all filled with heavy books. They go together in less than an hour without difficulty. They are sturdy enough that we will be using 2 as free-standing room dividers. They are attractive and have the appearance of much more expensive units. The only problem we have had was a couple of missing parts on one unit, but a quick call to the manufacturer got the parts to us right away....no complaints on Sauder customer service. I have had other Sauder furniture and have never been disappointed and neither will you.

This bookcase is sturdy and very well made for the price point! It was easy to put together and two of us managed to get it where it belongs. All we n all, a great deal for the money!

I love the bookshelf, it matches my Sauder desk and TV stand... however... It was damaged in a very prominant spot.

Looks nice but cheap design for connections. It will fall apart easy if you need to transport after assembly. One connection broken with plastic, no extra given. Many loose joints with no designed reinforcement

Purchased two bookcases, and finished assembling yesterday. Very disappointed! The quality is poor, each is a lot of work to assemble [it also helps to have two people], and they're not sufficiently sturdy to hold books. Check out the photos. The name is “5-shelf Bookcase” [Model 414235]. The assembly instructions in English are the first 19 pages of the manual; the manual itself is well-written. Step 14, page 19, includes the load per shelf. Three shelves hold 30 pounds, one holds 40 pounds, and the bottom holds 50 pounds. It would have been great to see this information before purchasing them for books. For the first time ever, I needed to organize my books by weight, not category, author, etc; the shelves are half empty. I purchased them to replace two Sauder bookcases I purchased more than 12 years ago, and had moved 3 times, so I thought I'd gotten my return on that investment. The downgrade in quality was a huge surprise, and I would not have ordered them had I known. Last night I dreamed they collapsed. Tomorrow I'm going shopping to replace them.

Very cheap. It's a bookshelf so I put books in it. I bought it in March of this year and now it broke. It got loose on its joints and now it's about to crumble on the ground. Please DO NOT waste your money. If I can put a negative number for my review I'll do negative 10. I barely write reviews but on thus one I have to do because I was so disappointed. It was expensive and now I loose my money. I can't use this anymore.
