VASAGLE Set of 2 Bookshelves, 30 Inches Wide, 5-Tier Open Bookcases with Adjustable Storage Shelves, Floor Standing Units, Ebony Black ULBC175T56-2

Great shelves. I absolutely love them and I’m very pleased even though I was a little bit nervous based on some of the reviews I specifically purchased these shelves to fit on a ledge with a soffit that is located at the ceiling. They fit perfect and they look expensive they were very easy to put together. The kit was complete, and there was no damage whatsoever. I will provide one hint that when you screw in some of the provided hardware, you may see a little bit of chipping, but it’s very minimal and it’s only around the pre-drilled hole so you don’t even see it. The nice thing about these is they provide you with a black sticker to put over the holes and although it may sound cheap, at least with the black, you can’t even see it but the nice thing is you don’t see the silver screw head. Also, the instruction booklet is very easy to read and follow directions and it’s fully illustrated with words as well. I highly recommend them. I am using these shelves simply to display my books. If you plan on using them to store items that you’re gonna be touching and picking up and placing all the time or to store very heavy items I would recommend not getting them. I hope that helps.

I love love love these bookshelves! I’ve ordered 4 of the 6 shelf and 4 of the 3 shelf to stack ontop! (Don’t worry they’re secured to each other and the wall) these bookcases and very sturdy and come together beautifully. I ordered in black and love that they still have that wood grain look and not a flat color. They’re made of wood and are actually quite heavy for what they are. I haven’t had any issues with damage over the years of use and they hold a lot of weight. Overall I’d say they’re 100% worth the money. A little more expensive than some but much cheaper than most.

Ordered 2 of these a couple months apart. 1st one was amazing very sturdy and easy to put together my issue and reason for 4 stars is the 2nd one they sent me, its a little different than the first one and definitely not as sturdy. I wish it would have been the exact same as the 2nd is a little smaller and color is a little different.

My pride and joy. Excellent bookshelf. Easy enough to build and super sturdy. Ive slid it across the floor with books on it and it didn’t budge. All shelf’s full of books and there’s no bowing. Excellent.

Assembly was pretty easy and straightforward. I bought five of them and still didnt wear myself out.. (If you have the horizontal room, consider buying more of these shorter shelves instead of a couple tall units. They look very impressive in a row and you still have room above for wall art!) Pretty solid too but they do include an anti-tip bolt.

Exactly what I expected when I ordered, since I rely on melamine pieces for my laundry, studio, home office and this utility closet tucked in under the stairs — inexpensive, sturdy, quick to construct, very practical and easy to keep clean. The Allen wrench is included, but note you’ll need that specific bit if you want to use a drill — which makes everything quick! Just don’t drill to fast or you’ll push right through the fiberboards. I finished in about 20 minutes, but then I’ve done a lot of this. It was nice to find that they included 1-2 extra of each type of hardware, though luckily didn’t need any of it as the screw heads didn’t strip or anything else fail. Note that the screws are visible on each side and no solution provided by the manufacturer, so I covered mine with some thick white sticky dots from a previous piece; you could also just fill and paint them or even pop on a white mailing label cut to size! I can’t stand them, even in a utility closet. :-) A hammer isn’t listed in the instructions, but you’ll need it to tap in the bottom feet. Also, if you’re like me and don’t want the huge, obnoxious stickers threatening you to screw this thing to your wall (I don’t have pets or children, or climb on furniture myself), just use a hair dryer to warm it up for a minute and they will peel off without leaving residue; I also had to do this with the lettered stickers identifying each part as they tried to leave glue behind. There are three positions drilled for each of the two shelves so they can be adjusted even after assembly, and I appreciate the metal pegs rather than the breakable plastic pegs that come with my older pieces. Also, I really like the new type of backing - the accordion-folded, coated cardboard slides into a slot rather than having to carefully hammer it to the back with teeny tiny nails I could never hold or, worse, those plastic-headed tacks where the nail always bent or broke through the plastic - worst part of putting together the old pieces! And don’t skip the little plastic braces - they keep the backing nice and tight, and less likely to be bent or broken if you push something a bit too far onto the shelves. Anyhoo, if you have realistic expectations and don’t manhandle it while doing the construction, I think you’ll also be satisfied with this bookshelf. I wouldn’t hesitate to order another one if the need arises.

Putting together your own bookcase is interesting and normally I have someone else put together furniture. This time I wanted to surprise my husband by getting everything done by myself. I'm over 55 so this was a little more effort because I had to sit and rest in between exertions. First you have to get everything out of the box and then you have to use a screw driver and Allen wrench to put the bookcase together. Frankly I found the instructions easy to follow and all the items needed were well labeled in little bags. Yes they actually include a screw driver and Allen wrench which was very helpful! One person can put this together by themselves but two people would make it slightly easier. The pieces of wood were perfectly packaged so there was no damage. I used those "moving men" sliders to move the heavy about 40 pound box into the living room and then I used them again to move the whole bookcase into the office. The one thing I didn't have was the hammer they suggested using to knock in the little feet for the bottom of the shelves. I used my regular hammer which I put two napkins over and fastened it all with some packaging tape. That worked. I take no responsibility for you if it doesn't work for you. :) For me it was an easy solution and I didn't have to buy a second softer hammer. So yes, I'm very happy with this and now I put about 93 books on the shelves and it is holding up well and I'm pleased to have my own little library of books to read in my office. ~The Rebecca Review

I bought the VASAGLE ULBC166X01 6-Tier Bookshelf in Rustic Brown a couple of weeks ago, and after putting it together and loading it up with books, I can confidently say it was a great purchase. It’s got a lot going for it, and while it’s not perfect, it’s easily one of the better shelves I’ve come across at this price point. Pros: It’s sturdy: This bookshelf feels way more solid than the cheap ones I’ve bought from Walmart's "Mainstays" or Target's "Room Essentials" brands in the past. Those tend to wobble or sag over time, but this one feels like it’s built to last. I’d say the quality is on par with IKEA furniture, which is a big compliment in my book. It looks fantastic: The rustic brown finish is beautiful—warm and inviting but still modern. It’s a real eye-catcher in my living room. Smart design details: The back panels slide into place instead of needing to be nailed in, which is a huge win. No annoying nails poking through or panels popping out! Clear instructions and extras: Everything is labeled, the instructions are super easy to follow, and they even include extra screws and dowels just in case. Little details like that make a big difference. All tools included: You don’t need to hunt down a screwdriver or Allen wrench—it’s all in the box, ready to go. Cons: It’s a bit small: This bookshelf is shorter and narrower than others in the same price range (like IKEA shelves), so it doesn’t hold quite as much. It’s something to keep in mind if you have a big book collection. Limited shelf adjustability: Each tier has three peg holes, which works fine for most things, but very tall books like The World of Ice and Fire or oversized comics, like Dark Horse Library Editions, just won’t fit unless you leave a shelf out. Takes a little time to build: It’s not hard to assemble, but it’s definitely more involved than some of the simpler shelves out there. I managed it on my own, but having a second person would’ve made it easier. Bottom Line: If you’re looking for a bookshelf that’s sturdy, stylish, and well-made, this one’s a great choice. It’s not perfect—especially if you need a lot of space for big books—but for the price, it’s hard to beat. I’d give it 4.5 stars if I could, but I’m rounding up to 5 because it’s just that good. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a bookshelf that combines good looks with solid construction. Just keep the size limitations in mind before you buy!
