Asymmetrical Cube Bookcase with Shelves

Delivery was fine, bar the fact I had to take it 3flrs to my apartment since it didnt get delivered to door. : Its a 2 man job for sure.

Got all the pieces out the box (a lot of them), instructions etc.. ok all good.

Dowels glued in and lock screws all in place. Time to assemble.

Instructions and assembly went great...UNTIL.. you try to put the sections together. Unless you not only follow the instruction AND use picture as a guide, your in for a fun time...

Each section HAS to be the correct way (as per picture) and it can very easily get turned around causing issues later on.

The lock screws get hidden with sticky circles in a black fake wood, these could do with being a little nicer looking.

After everything, 3 re-dos/start agains/pull aparts, a little cussing and 2.5-3hrs later you have a rather nice piece of furniture.

Sturdier than Ikea styles, nice modern piece against the wall/divider what ever you choose.

Would recommend partial put together before gluing dowels in, this way if something gets flipped around, it would be easier to fix.

Happy with this product now its done. Dissappointed..NO, Frustrated...A little :)

We actually bought this so that we could place it on its side rather than use it upright.

When this arrived, I was a little annoyed when I took out the pieces and realized that their idea of a "Black Oak Finish" is a black background with a silver wood grain painted on it. Silver. Not really what I was expecting. I have a couple of other Ikea-esque pieces of furniture, but at least the other faux wood finishes had the grain indented into the laminate. This finish is also tissue paper thin, so we'll just have to wait and see how long it will hold up to the accidental bump or scratch I'm guessing we won't be waiting long.

The second star removal occurred when I realized that they had forgotten to include instructions for putting this jigsaw puzzle together and the hardware had broken loose from it's container and was rolling about inside the box. Luckily for me, there was a picture on the box and that pretty much served as my "instructions".

All in all, this really isn't too bad considering the price just make sure you don't set your expectations too high and you'll probably think it's fantastic.

Be aware that this bookcase is not as described. The description reads "black oak finish" but it is actually black with silver paint used to create the fake oak finish. When is the last time you saw a silver grain on wood? It looks cheap. But you get what you pay for. I was trying to match other black furniture so it just wouldn't work for me.

1. It took about 2 1/2 hours to put together by myself. It wasn't overly complicated but strict attention needs to be paid to the instructional drawings otherwise the holes won't line up like they're supposed to. I had to take apart part of it when I realized this. Also, there is NO extra hardware, so make sure you have it all before beginning. And, I would recommend having extra wood glue on-hand. I ran out just before putting on the top and bottom pieces.

2. The outside pieces are hollow. This makes them weaker than traditional particle board pieces (which is what the middle pieces are made of). I did not do a thorough check of all the pieces before I began and the shelf was mostly assembled before I realized that one of the side pieces had a hole in it. Thankfully, where I'm placing the shelf, the hole won't show.

3. Some of the dowels do not slide easily into the holes, which causes a gap when assembling the pieces. In an attmept to close the gap, I banged on the piece and the dowel pushed through the piece and created a crack.

4. The stickers on the pieces do not come off easily. Several of them stripped the veneer off the pieces, especially the manufacturer's upc sticker.

5. It looks cool when assembled and the flaws are easily hidden. I would not recommend putting anything heavy on the shelf. For the money, I expected better quality.
