Tvilum Element Wide 5 Shelf Bookcase, Tall, White

We ordered this for my daughter's bedroom (expecting it to be a basic furniture piece with a thin veneer over particle board), but the packing material didn't protect enough from the plastic straps digging in and crushing the front face of two shelves and the thin cardboard back. I got on Amazon Returns chat, because I wanted replacement parts but not return the whole item, and they said they arranged to have the damaged pieces picked up for return (there was no way I could repackage them). Instead we just had a whole new unit delivered to our house...which also had 3 shelves damaged from the plastic straps. Whatever, we just scavenged undamaged pieces from both units and assembled an unscathed bookcase for my daughter, and it meets our expectations just fine: easy to assemble, accurate description, etc. We still have to work out how to return the original unit (or something--right now we've been charged for 2 bookcases), so we're not done with the process. But we're 2-for-2 on products damaged in shipping.

Ordered 4 but could only use 3. One was delivered and one of the long boards was broken inside . Packing is not stellar to prevent the long boards from flexing in transit. 2 of the cases had rather large gouges in the paint but once assembled was hidden from view. For the price though they are about what I would expect in quality. Easy to assemble but because of the height and weight I would recommend having two people to put together.

Easy to assemble

Adjustable shelf holes distractingly obvious, the connectors for each shelf are gray plastic and look pretty terrible. I’m sure it’ll be better with books in but all three of the bookshelves I ordered are a disappointment. Live and learn!

I was looking for “shoe shelves” but they weren’t wide enough for heels so I thought I’d try just regular bookshelves and they worked great! It was easy to put together which I did by myself! The only thing I wish is that it had more shelves available.

I was really trying to get a book case that didn’t look like a put-together bookshelf. I zoomed in and didn’t see any of the holes used to move shelves around. But sure enough, it is a cheaper-made bookshelf than I hoped I was getting. That said, we put it together and it’s fine. I was just hoping for something a little more living-roomy and less, teenager-bedroom.

It arrived with a few damaged pieces but they were promptly replaced after we called the company. It holds books just fine. We don't have any especially heavy books on it so I'm not sure how the shelves would hold up under those circumstances. It's a decent unit.
