Sauder Palladia 3-Shelf Bookcase, Select Cherry Finish

I had previously purchased pieces of this set for a spare bedroom and loved the look. So when my son in college transferred to a new school closer to home and moved back in we went back to this set for his room. The set is strong, sturdy, and has the look of more expensive factory assembled furniture. Assembly is easy with a minimum number of tools and the instructions are easy to follow. Yes, ladies, some of us guys do read the instructions! :-) Out of seven pieces of furniture purchased I had a screw missing so I contacted Sauder. The customer service person I spoke with could not have been nicer and was in the USA! I got my missing screw a long with a touch up pen for the asking. With 4 boys we have purchased a number of you assemble furniture pieces over the years from a number of manufactures and I have to say I find Sauder the best built and designed of the bunch. On top of that the furniture is made in the US by Americans! I would not hesitate to purchase Sauder again and I recommend this company.

Although these are a considerable amount of work to assemble, the instructions are very clear and concise. the finished product is beautiful, We couldn't be happier.

Bought two too match desk. Looks and works Great

Nice bookcase and easy to put together. Love the coloring of this collection.

I purchased two of these to go along with the 59" credenza, and boy, putting everything together takes forever! It would be a little easier if the nails and screws were all separated, but if you have the patience to put the pieces together they come out very nice-looking.

I like the color/finish coordination with the desk and file cabinet. Needs to be at least 4" deeper for legal size paper like most other bookcases. Doors don't completely close due to this.

The bookshelf was the easiest of all the pieces that I bought, to put together. However, two of the shelves came damaged. They were missing the finish in the corners of both pieces. I am every happy with this item, but a little upset about the damaged shelves.

I bought the Sauder Palladia desk and I love sitting at it doing work. With how well it went together, I decided to give this matching library a shot. Much like the desk, it is a solid piece of furniture that looks very professional next to the desk. I will be buying a second one to go on the other side of my desk and the matching lateral file cabinet. Another great thing is how quickly Walmart got this product to my house. I ordered it late on a Sunday evening (after 10 PM) and it arrived on my doorstep the following Tuesday. I got home from work that day and my wife already had everything put together except for the doors. It's very easy to put together. That's the difference between a product made in America versus a product made overseas and that's why Sauder will continue to get my business. My only issue with this piece is the doors. In order to get them to close properly, we have to close both doors at the same time or one hits the other. A little bit of a nuisance, but it is manageable since we don't have a need to open and close the doors very often.

Sauder use to be really good. I still have the bookshelves back from 2011. Now the quality and make is horrible. When I took it out of the box, there were a lot of scratches and damaged parts. The customer service for Sauder was no help at all. I returned to store.

I opened the box to assemble the bookshelf, and right off the bat, we noticed several necessary parts were missing. I will be sending it back. Not sure if I will order another one or not, depends on what Wal-Mart can tell me, because I want a guarantee that I won't wait 3 weeks for another incomplete bookshelf!
