VASAGLE Custos Collection - Bookshelf, 3-Tier Bookcase, Book Shelf, Open Storage Shelf, 9.4 x 23.6 x 32 Inches, for Living Room, Home Office, Dinning Room, Camel Brown ULBC163L01

Great shelves. I absolutely love them and I’m very pleased even though I was a little bit nervous based on some of the reviews I specifically purchased these shelves to fit on a ledge with a soffit that is located at the ceiling. They fit perfect and they look expensive they were very easy to put together. The kit was complete, and there was no damage whatsoever. I will provide one hint that when you screw in some of the provided hardware, you may see a little bit of chipping, but it’s very minimal and it’s only around the pre-drilled hole so you don’t even see it. The nice thing about these is they provide you with a black sticker to put over the holes and although it may sound cheap, at least with the black, you can’t even see it but the nice thing is you don’t see the silver screw head. Also, the instruction booklet is very easy to read and follow directions and it’s fully illustrated with words as well. I highly recommend them. I am using these shelves simply to display my books. If you plan on using them to store items that you’re gonna be touching and picking up and placing all the time or to store very heavy items I would recommend not getting them. I hope that helps.

I love love love these bookshelves! I’ve ordered 4 of the 6 shelf and 4 of the 3 shelf to stack ontop! (Don’t worry they’re secured to each other and the wall) these bookcases and very sturdy and come together beautifully. I ordered in black and love that they still have that wood grain look and not a flat color. They’re made of wood and are actually quite heavy for what they are. I haven’t had any issues with damage over the years of use and they hold a lot of weight. Overall I’d say they’re 100% worth the money. A little more expensive than some but much cheaper than most.

Ordered 2 of these a couple months apart. 1st one was amazing very sturdy and easy to put together my issue and reason for 4 stars is the 2nd one they sent me, its a little different than the first one and definitely not as sturdy. I wish it would have been the exact same as the 2nd is a little smaller and color is a little different.

My pride and joy. Excellent bookshelf. Easy enough to build and super sturdy. Ive slid it across the floor with books on it and it didn’t budge. All shelf’s full of books and there’s no bowing. Excellent.

Assembly was pretty easy and straightforward. I bought five of them and still didnt wear myself out.. (If you have the horizontal room, consider buying more of these shorter shelves instead of a couple tall units. They look very impressive in a row and you still have room above for wall art!) Pretty solid too but they do include an anti-tip bolt.

Exactly what I expected when I ordered, since I rely on melamine pieces for my laundry, studio, home office and this utility closet tucked in under the stairs — inexpensive, sturdy, quick to construct, very practical and easy to keep clean. The Allen wrench is included, but note you’ll need that specific bit if you want to use a drill — which makes everything quick! Just don’t drill to fast or you’ll push right through the fiberboards. I finished in about 20 minutes, but then I’ve done a lot of this. It was nice to find that they included 1-2 extra of each type of hardware, though luckily didn’t need any of it as the screw heads didn’t strip or anything else fail. Note that the screws are visible on each side and no solution provided by the manufacturer, so I covered mine with some thick white sticky dots from a previous piece; you could also just fill and paint them or even pop on a white mailing label cut to size! I can’t stand them, even in a utility closet. :-) A hammer isn’t listed in the instructions, but you’ll need it to tap in the bottom feet. Also, if you’re like me and don’t want the huge, obnoxious stickers threatening you to screw this thing to your wall (I don’t have pets or children, or climb on furniture myself), just use a hair dryer to warm it up for a minute and they will peel off without leaving residue; I also had to do this with the lettered stickers identifying each part as they tried to leave glue behind. There are three positions drilled for each of the two shelves so they can be adjusted even after assembly, and I appreciate the metal pegs rather than the breakable plastic pegs that come with my older pieces. Also, I really like the new type of backing - the accordion-folded, coated cardboard slides into a slot rather than having to carefully hammer it to the back with teeny tiny nails I could never hold or, worse, those plastic-headed tacks where the nail always bent or broke through the plastic - worst part of putting together the old pieces! And don’t skip the little plastic braces - they keep the backing nice and tight, and less likely to be bent or broken if you push something a bit too far onto the shelves. Anyhoo, if you have realistic expectations and don’t manhandle it while doing the construction, I think you’ll also be satisfied with this bookshelf. I wouldn’t hesitate to order another one if the need arises.

The setup was straightforward, and all tools required for initial assembly are included. You are given the materials, but not the tools, to attach the shelf to the wall for additional stability. I would recommend this step, as without the anchors the shelf is a bit on the wobbly side. Why don’t I install the anchors, you may ask? I am renting and don’t want to damage my walls. I also found using the Allen wrench to build the shelf a bit rough on the fingers. Aside from that, the shelf pieces are well labeled. I was slightly disappointed to find out that the wood is OSB, and the shelf is a bit on the heavy side. On a positive note, the overall look of the shelf is quite nice—it has a sleek design and, most importantly, does the job of holding books and decorations.

I have bought quite a few pieces from this company and am impressed with the ease of assemble and quality of all. This bookcase has a hard back! Not like those ones you buy that have that paper cardboard back, but a hard woodgrained look back! I will be buying more of these. They perfectly match my other pieces. It was enforced with dowel pegs. I can't say enough about this company. I am impressed. Love this bookcase. Will buy again.

The structural rigidity of this bookcase is entirely dependent on the 8 (2inch) coarse thread scews. One is screwing into predrilled holes in "chip board". I initially snugged all 8 & found that was not enough. I knew that the chipboard holes limit the torque ... however ... I was willing to sacrifice one hole (if necessary) to make this "BOX" ... wobble-free. I was surprised as to how much more "snugness" these holes/screws can take ... in order for this box to be quite solid. Keep checking rigidity as you tighten the screws carefully.

Very easy to put together plus a few extra screws if you were to need them. I would highly recommend this product.

This bookshelf was exactly as shown and what I wanted. Well made, no parts missing and easy for my husband to assemble with no complaints. Looks lovely with all my books, Would highly recommend.
