Casual Home 176-51 5-Shelf Ladder Bookcase

This was such a great find. It was cheap for what it was but it does not look or feel cheap at all. I have a lot of books on this thing so it is very sturdy and I even caught my kids attempting to climb it once and it help up. Highly recommend you will not be disappointed. Also it was insanely easy to assemble.

Perfect piece, great finish, exactly what I Was looking for in my living room. Easy to assemble, went together quickly and easily. Great height and size, and I love that it actually has four legs that all rest on the ground making it freestanding, unlike many other ladder bookcases that have to rest against the wall. Only downside, there are two support brackets to hold the top and bottom halves of the bookcase together, and the holes for these are drilled on the outside instead of the inside of the bookshelf, and they are metal, not finished to match so they stand out. Not a deal breaker but something to consider, I think they should have been used on the inside of the shelf space instead of the exterior, or colour matched, or both.

This was received quickly, easy to assemble, and looks great. We got it to replace a square table. Now we get as much storage space but with a smaller footprint on the floor. It has good height to provide 5 shelves of storage. We got it mainly to neatly place wifi devices, some pictures, and art but might get another one to organize game consoles.

I've been looking for a shelf like this for quite some time and I was happy to find this one at such a good price. As many say, it is very easy and straightforward to assemble. Though it comes with wall anchors if you wish to use them, I found the shelf to be very sturdy on its own. The only thing I might mention is that it's a bit taller than I envisioned it would be, but that's not a problem at all for me. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering buying this.

Love this shelf! It's perfect for all my plants and is a beautiful addition to my home. It took less than 30 minutes to put together by myself. The needed allen wrench is included, but you'll need a Philips head for the small brackets that hold the top and bottom portion together. The shelf is very stable and I wouldn't be afraid of it tipping over or anything. In a very bright light, it has a reddish tint, but is not as red as it appears in my picture. FYI for fellow planters: only the front half of the bottom two shelves gets light from my grow light since the rest are covered by the upper shelves, but it works fine for me. Overall, a great value for $78. My only concern is that the top and bottom halves are only held together by the two small brackets that are attached only on the back of the shelf. If you were to try to lift the shelf by the upper half, it would probably separate from the bottom portion. Whenever I need to move the shelf, I work around this by consciensciously grabbing it by the bottom half, but this might bother some people.
