64 customers mention0 positive64 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the shelf. They mention that the material ripped, it's thin, and easily damaged. The shelves bow noticably, and it came apart at the part where the top half meets the bottom. The cardboard rips free of the nails in a bunch of places, and the whole thing breaks. Customers also say that the bookcase damaged their brand new books, put holes in their wall, and tears so easily.

"...The material ripped (it's cheap) so I used the top section as a short magazine holder since it had the top and bottom shelves...." Read more

36 customers mention0 positive36 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the material of the shelf. They mention that the back panel is practically only thin cardboard and did not supply any stability to the back of the shelves. They also say that the structure comes from the cardboard backing that you nail in with tiny nails. Customers also mention that it's made of particle board and pressed wood, which is heavy and relatively weak.

"...parts, the design isn't as sturdy as I'd have liked, some of the materials feel cheap, for instance the backing is almost paper thin...." Read more

"The panels are made with wood that looks like it was put in a grinder and spit back out again...." Read more

"...My only complaint is that the top doesn’t have a finish and is left bare, along with the back side of it too, so it’s limited to only being placed..." Read more

"...the structural integrity of this unit is carried by the extremely thing cardboard backing and very LIGHT duty wire nails...." Read more

32 customers mention5 positive27 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the hardware of the shelf. They mention that it was missing or wrong pieces, and that there was no hardware in the box. Some customers also mention that the instructions are poor and that the bookshelf came with an incorrect piece.

"...Some of the hardware was missing, and I had to order some parts and dig other comparable parts out of the closet, thus killing the savings for used..." Read more

"...I wish it came with an extra shelf. It would've made it better for me." Read more

"...so the top half fits two more shelves in but the bottom half only has one insertable shelf...." Read more

"...(you had to mark it yourself to add the nails) and that I was missing a few pieces that I should have gotten." Read more

Quality Unit.. But dried out
4 Stars
Quality Unit.. But dried out
Sauder makes a good unit .. But for some reason this unit 409090 Lot # 567911 manufactured on 6/2022 had some issue. I spoke with Randy who was more than happy to help resolve the issue of the (Cardboard) backings being dried out.. Overall Sauder does make a good product I have purchased several bookcases over the years.. Will do a Facebook follow up

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy assembly!!! Nice size.
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2023
Needed something bigger than a cubby but still shallow enough to fit behind my closet door.
Perfect size as I was able to still find cubbys and storage that kept the are neat.
I will say that putting it on carpet makes it a little less sturdy as it rocks easily.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst shelf ever.
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2023
The panels are made with wood that looks like it was put in a grinder and spit back out again. Also the shelves buldged out, i even attempted to retighten all the screws and go back and re-attach the pieces using the instructions, the safety strap definitely didnt hold or make a difference, this shelf started collapsing as soon as i added weight to it, i had my $2500 gaming pc at the bottom so quickly i had to grab everything off the shelf and tell my sister to hold it to prevent it from shattering all over my set up, 4 hidden cam screws that dont stay tight to hold the bottom part of the shelf is ridiculous, also this shelf took up almost my entire day to install, needs MUCH more support especially for carpet homes, this thing cant handle more than a few pounds if that. Wasted $80 on a cheap horrible shelf.

Hola, como les comente en mi correo, considero que un artículo nuevo no debería tener esas fallas, además de que hay algunos materiales como el cartón que cubre toda la parte posterior del librero de muy mala calidad, que inclusive presenta los fallos que se aprecian en la fotos.

The screws that you have to put in are fine as long as you're an arm wrestler. Any electric drill wouldn't even cut it. They should have put holes in the rough side! The back of the shelf ripped appart while I was trying to put it in place. Horrible product. Do not buy this!
