5.0 out of 5 stars Attractive, easy to build, solid, well packaged, totally satisfied!
For starters, these are not fancy book cases, nor did I expect them to be. I was looking for simple, effective, attractive, well made book cases to augment the storage at my desk at work. These had good reviews, the price seemed fair, and so I ordered 2 and had them shipped to my office. The short form of my review ... I love them. :) Now for the rest of the story, if you care to get the details.PACKAGINGThe packaging was VERY robust, with good solid cardboard cases used, but with extra corner reinforcing pads added to the outside of each edge of the shipping case. I've not seen these before. It's a self-adhesive corner pad that runs along the edge of the case and provides extra protection against edge crushing. They seem to work really well and are easy to remove by simply pulling them off. Great idea!PRODUCT QUALITY AND CONDITIONThe parts for the book cases inside were packed identically, which made opening and retrieving the parts easy and predictable. All the parts inside were in good to excellent condition, with only one corner damaged across 2 book cases, and that was not during shipping as the packaging in that area was flawless, so it must have happened during manufacturing or loading into the box. The damage was very minor, and I don't consider it an issue. The color of the material is very pleasing to the eye and the texture feels very nice to touch. The only oddness in the contents of the boxes was that the first case I opened had exactly the number of fasteners I needed to assemble the book case, while the second had quite a few extras.ASSEMBLYI've built quite a few book cases in my lifetime, and these were as easy to assemble as any I've built. The instructions were correct and complete if you need them, but I personally found they weren't necessary as the assembly is rather simple. The only tool I used was my Swiss Army Knife to screw in the Phillips head screws. If you plan to nail on the faux-wood-finish cardboard back panel, you'll need a hammer, but I preferred these open backed, so no hammering was required. All the parts went together easily without forcing, fit properly and felt solid and square when I was done. I did each one, alone, in my tiny cubicle with no problems.SHELVESSmall metal pegs fit into holes in the side panels, onto which clear rubber tips slide over the end to protect the shelves from damage rubbing against the metal pegs. Nice touch. The shelves fit perfectly first time, no issues.CONSAside from one tiny bit of superficial manufacturing damage to one corner of one book case, I'm 100% satisfied with these book cases. They made quite a nice addition to my cube. One of the bosses swung by at one point and commented that my cube was beginning to look more like an office.

It looks good, it works well, it is easy to put together, and I am very happy with it.
4.0 out of 5 stars Relatively Sturdy Basic Oak Bookcase -- Could Be Stronger/Better But Is Still Pretty Good For the Price I Paid For It!!
I got this Sauder Beginnings Highland Oak 3-Shelf Bookcase to store my books (obviously!) as well as other stuff, like special china, and while technically, this is a 3 shelf bookcase, because I use the top of the bookcase as well (as can be seen in the first photo) its more like a 4 shelf bookcase for me.There isn't really much to say about it. It's purpose, as well as how to use it is pretty obvious & self-explanatory. This is an oak finish bookcase to keep books or other items, like DVDs/Blu-rays, CDs, VHS videos and/or small knick-knacks on shelves. Two of the shelves on this bookcase are adjustable, allowing various-sized items to be put on the shelves where they fit best. Also, assembly of this item is pretty easy, needing only a screwdriver and a hammer -- though having a power screwdriver (like I do) makes assembling this bookcase a LOT faster & easier than with a manual screwdriver.Although for the most part, I'm pretty satisfied with this product — especially given the price I paid for it, I still DO have a couple quibbles, hence my rating drop of 1 star to 4 stars.First off, I wish that this bookcase were a bit stronger/more sturdy, because although, if I recall correctly (I'd have to re-check the assembly instructions manual to verify and I don't have it with me at the moment) the bottom shelf has a weight limit of 40 lbs and the upper shelves have a weight limit of 20-25 lbs, which in my opinion isn't much, considering that this is a BOOKCASE, and even just a few hardcover books, especially heavy textbooks, could easily amount to, or even EXCEED the 20-25 lb weight limit. In my opinion, by being a bookcase, its shelves should be able to accommodate more weight than just 20-25 lbs,Also, I don't know if I just got a "bad" one, but the back panel on the bookcase I got, was NOT wide enough to cover all the edges of the sides and top & bottom. Thus, some areas were not reached equally the back panel to be nailed in (to the 4 sides on the back of the bookcase) but since I was in a time crunch and couldn't wait for a new bookcase to be delivered, I had to just find a way to use it as is. so I tried to pull the back-panel as close as I could so that it reached all 4 edges and then nailed it in as best I could. In some areas, because the back-panel was so close to the edge, the nail went through BOTH while being hammered in, and ended up cracking a piece out of the side(s) or whatever of the bookcase. But like I said, because I was short on time, I just made do — and nailed extra nails in & around the deeper areas to secure the back panel to the 4 sides of the bookcase, and then fixed/filled in the cracks with Gorilla Glue and pushed the bookcase up against the wall to make it more secure, and stacked some modular storage cubes (Foremost Open Cube Storage and Foremost Door Cube Storage) next to it, to hide any cracks that may be visible and it seems to be okay now. But it would have been better if the back panel had been wider and longer so that it evenly covered all 4 sides.But other than that, I'm pretty satisfied with this bookcase overall. I put it in a room adjacent to the kitchen, which used to be the dining room (a formal dining room) but has not been used as such in years, and rather, has become more like a den, with a sofa (actually a sofa with a pull-out bed) and a TV. I actually put this bookcase up against the wall next to an entrance to the kitchen, and given that, I've put all my cookbooks on the 1st shelf of the bookcase (as can be seen in the photos) to have it right at my fingertips from the kitchen. I put my special china that I use for holidays (like Thanksgiving & Christmas) and other special occasions, which is in storage cases, on the 2 lowest shelves of the bookcases (they didn't all fit on the lowest shelf) because those seemed the sturdiest and as if they could bear the most weight. I also put lighter-weight, mostly paperback books on these shelves too — and I like having my books neatly stored on bookshelves instead of spread out all over my bedroom & bed, and elsewhere. In fact if I can figure out where to put it that it would fit, without blocking windows or other things, I'm considering getting ANOTHER one of these bookcases!Because alll in all, this is a pretty good bookcase for the $36 or $38 I paid for it. I wouldn't have paid much more than that for it — its not worth paying more than $50 or so for. But for the price I did pay, its a decent, basic. good-looking relatively-sturdy (just make sure you put it up against a wall for extra security) oak bookcase, and I'm mostly happy with it.★☆★☆ 4 STARS!!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed
It is the perfect size. I measured before I ordered. That is important. Yes, the back is that cheap cardboard stuff. I have put together very expensive products and they use the same thing. Oh well. I'll be careful and not push items too hard against it. It's flat against the wall. So that's not an issue.I wonder if putting a horizontal thin board across the back would help? On a big bookcase that I put together there was a shelf in the middle that was fixed, not adjustable and it supported the back. I think tiny nails were put in that area to support the backing. Someone out there could figure it out if need be. A person could damage the back if they weren't careful with putting things on the shelves. I'm just giving heads up.***As for the unit, the instructions were perfect! They even give a perfect picture showing maximum weight for each shelf including the top. I am elderly and a widow and it did take me almost an hour to do it as it was hard for me to crawl around and do it, plus I measured very carefully the 5" or so to put the tiny nails in the back panel. I took my time. It would take two people or a more mobile person almost no time at all. It feels sturdy for what I need. Again, the instructions show weight limits. However, I also know to not move it around, especially with it full, or not to drag it or push it. Yes, furniture will collapse if you do that, no matter how much it cost! I am very impressed with it! It looks good too. It really does! It is in my tiny living room that people see. If it looked bad, I'd put it in my bedroom to hide it. It's on display. Thank you for a good product.
Good little bookshelf
Simple and cheap made but sturdy enough and not expensive. And extremely easy to put together in just quarter of minutes. Perfect size to put in the corner behind my son's bedroom door to accommodate some of his hundreds of books which didn't fit anymore on his bookshelves (we are book-dragons' family). Make my 7th old room more tidy and spacious without all these books scattered around.
Pésima calidad del producto y nula la respuesta del vendedor
compré cuatro piezas, todas vienen con defectos graves, escribí al vendedor para que haga el cambio y no me ha contestado. Pésima la calidad de los muebles y el servicio nulo
Impressed
Easy to install by myself. As of right now seems pretty durable.There were reviews that the shelves fall out easily. I personally find it pretty snug and the shelves fit snuggly. This could change once there’s weight in it.Originally got frustrated as they changed the predicted arrival date. But it ended up arriving when it was advertised on the order page.
Buen librero
El librero cumple, se ve bien, es fácil de armar y es funcional. Una buena compra.
Excelente librero
Es un librero bonito, fácil de armar, no muy pesado y de buen material. Lo tomé en una oferta y me costó menos de mil pesos. Con el precio de 2k que se ha estabilizado creo que hay varias alternativas, aunque no por ello éste deja de ser una de ellas (por el precio ACTUAL pongo 4 estrellas).
