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.

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.
The instructions are not bad at all but I found one unfinished edge that I never could figure out how to put to the back and make it work. That was consistent through all 5 of them. And I sure could have used one more shelf.
The top and bottom are connected with 4 cams. The cams are structural as I found out on one bookcase when I didn't set them properly and the two sections fell apart when I stood it up. 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. I have yet to figure out what to do with the lower section.
I have no complaints about these since I think you get what you pay for and these were cheap, but I wouldn't buy them again because of the time it took to put them together and the number of shelves.
Here's where it gets good.
I'm not a particularly crafty guy, so although the directions were simple to follow and required few tools, I decided to invited over a friend to help build my new bookcase. He got to my house, and we immediately began bonding over the masculine act of creation that assembling new furniture always is. We reached new depths of our friendship, and we now regularly hang out (sadly, I do not have room for more Amazon furniture, so more furniture assembly is postponed).
Here's where it gets better.
As we finished up the bookcase, what do we hear but a knock at the door. In walk two very attractive women. I was surprised, since attractive women showing up unannounced at my door is not usually the norm for my life. Then another knock, and two more attractive women. It was like the scene in "The Hobbit" where the dwarves show up to Bilbo's house in small groups, except instead of dwarves, it was sorority girls. Turns out, my roommate had scheduled a party at my house just hours before (the same time we opened the bookcase packaging. Coincidence?) and soon my house was flooded with women who couldn't help but marvel at my my hypermasculine furniture building skills. My friend and I were the life of the party, all thanks to Amazon and the Sauder Beginnings 5-Shelf Bookcase in Cinnamon.
5 stars, would buy again
