LorellMahogany Laminate Bookcase, 36" x 36" x 12"

This is a great bookcase! Sturdy wood pieces, easy to assemble (even for 1 person). It has a lovely finish. A quality piece of furniture!

I like the bookcase but the instructions are horrible. Once I stopped looking at the directions and just did what made sense it was much easier. As others have mentioned, the back piece is thin particle board but mine was an exact fit, except that the back corner was broken off. If you get this, do yourself a favor and predrill holes in the back before screwing in the screws.

I really like the looks of this cabinet. Just lay out all the pieces and study the installation drawing for a few minutes and you shouldn't have any problem putting it together. Took me about 45 minutes to complete. I was able to easily build this by myself.

I’ve now purchased over 15 of these shelves for my business offices and they are the best price/quality point around. It’s laminate but lasting quality. At this price it’s hard to beat

It's as advertised. I find no fault with it. So glad to have it!

The front and sides are nice and as advertised. The back is not.You may be considering this expensive bookcase, as I did, specifically because it is one of the few not super expensive bookcases with a finished back (as opposed to a back that just looks like particle board). That feature was important to me because I knew I would be positioning the bookcase so that both its front and back would be visible. In the 360 image, the back fits seamlessly with the rest of the bookcase. No screws are visible; the whole piece is the same color; and the edge that juts outs slightly at the top--and gives the bookcase more character than a simple square would have--continues from the front and sides through the back. In reality, however, the .5 cm width of the back piece is unfinished yellow particle board that sticks out like a soar thumb against the brown of the sides and top of the bookcase and makes the whole item look cheap and ugly. Also, the back is designed to screw into the edge that juts out, covering it, so the back is flat and lacks character. Also the back piece is very poorly fitted to rest of the bookcase. In parts it sticks out over the sides. In other parts it doesn't come close to the sides. Finally, 24 tiny screwheads stick out from the back piece. All of this is especially frustrating because it could have been avoided with a design that was slightly less stupid. It's as if they got tired after thinking through the front and decided to put no effort into the back.Also, several of the wood pieces arrived cracked or chipped.

Box slightly damaged and there is a rack in the back piece..we kept it anywaySome of the holes not well drilled.No holes drilled to affix the back piece…should have been better for the price

Besides the damaged to the backboard, which is a thin piece of board, the actual bookcase is very nice and sturdy!! It looks great and matches my real wood furniture. It doesn’t look cheap at all.Be prepared to get a little aggravated putting together the bottom(step1). It’s a little confusing and should be broken into several steps with enlarged pictures of the screws by each step. The rest went smoothly. It took me about 50 min to put together, definitely worth it.
