Industrial Bookshelves

I’m really happy with this bookshelf. It was straightforward to put together, feels sturdy once assembled, and holds a surprising number of books without feeling flimsy or unstable. I especially like the combination of the dark metal frame and wood shelves—it looks much nicer than I expected for the price and works well with different decor. The open shelving gives me plenty of room for books while still leaving space for plants and decorations, and the different shelf sizes make it easy to arrange everything without it looking overcrowded. Mine is very well loaded with books, including some heavier hardcovers, and it has handled the weight well. It also looks great once everything is styled. I ended up liking it enough that I used multiple units together to create a larger home-library setup. Definitely recommend if you need a lot of book storage without wanting a bulky traditional bookcase.

First off, no, I’m not a robot or AI writing this. Normal guy sitting here in my home office. Second, no, I was not offered anything for my review. I rely on true and honest reviews to decide whether a product is worth it or not, and am fed up with the fake reviews that seem to plague products nowadays. On to my review. My wife and I decided to go with these until I have more time to do built in shelves. I’m really impressed with how well built this shelf is. We’ve all come to expect bent pieces, chipped or peeling shelf veneer, holes that don’t align, etc.. You have none of that with this shelf. Everything went together flawlessly. The Frame The bolts that hold the metal frame together are well machined and all the holes aligned properly for each to thread through with no issue. No crossed drilled holes that require you to jackhammer a screw in there knowing that it will never come out. All the finishes were clean with no chipped paint or major blemishes. The Shelves The holes in both the shelves and frames all aligned perfectly, and the screws all seated properly for a tight, secure hold on each shelf. The threads on the screws are coarse thread and grab into the shelf well. They are 1&3/4” long, so no flimsy screws that are going to rip out. Sizing The dimensions listed are spot on. -Width: 69&1/4” -Depth: 12&1/8” deep (including the metal cross bars on the back) -Height: 77&1/2” tall. The feet thread in, so you could make it a hair taller if needed, as well as can level it if on an uneven surface. No one wants to waste money on a product that is trash or doesn’t hold up. This was a great purchase at a great price, and I’m happy that I went with it. I don’t know about longevity as I just finished assembling it, but do believe it will work well for what our needs are. We left two shelves out to fit a small filing cabinet, but it still works perfectly.

This is one of my favorite parts of my home now. I got two of them to span this whole wall of my living room, and it fits the wall perfectly. It holds all of my books, (with tons of room to expand!) physical music, plants, and all my random decorations. I did make one adjustment to shelf placement so my record player would be able to open, but in return I got two small shelves, one of which is perfect for my CD collection. These shelves are very heavy, took me and my husband to get them into place. For now we don’t have them mounted into the wall but likely will in the future after some home renovations. They were relatively easy to build. I built them myself, each shelf took about 2-3 hours. The biggest pain was the allen key provided wore down so I had to find another allen key to finish installing the last few shelves. Overall, I love these shelves. I think they look great, are very sturdy, hold so much stuff, and are well worth the money.

Exactly as pictured! Not hard to set up at all just easier with two people

Looks good in person and seems sturdy. Simple enough to put together with straightforward instructions. I read a few reviews and was able to put it together by myself within a couple of hours just like most others said. I may end up ordering another one for a different room after I see how well it holds up. Has plenty of room for my books and I’m well pleased with it so far.

So easy to assemble and looks great! I'm using it for displaying glassware for sale and it's the perfect size and very sturdy. Would definitely recommend.

First of all, I am a 61 year old woman. I own hundreds, if not thousands, of books. Last summer we had a "500 year storm" and I had a backup in my basement. I lost nearly 300 books that were in wooden bookcases due to absorbing the 6-8 inches of nasty water that invaded my basement. My intention is to only place waterproof containers on the bottom shelves in case another 500 or even 1000 year storm comes through. Here is my experience with this shelving unit. First, the box is HEAVY. I dragged it into my living room and opened it there. The shelves are real wood, possibly plywood indicated by the edges, but they are thick! I doubt if they will sag like some of the cheaper bookshelves tend to do. I carried the parts a few at a time to my basement where assembly happened. The hardware was labeled clearly AND included extras. The direction sheet was pretty clear. You will want to make sure the holes for the x-shaped braces are all facing the same way. I put self-stick 1-inch felt floor protectors on the feet, which screw in for leveling. My felt pieces were a bit too big, so 3/4 inch would be perfect, but I used what I had. The directions call for building 2 5 shelf units and then interconnecting. Do not tighten anything until you have the whole thing built. Fortunately, the long screws that hold the shelves have all the holes aligned perfectly, and I was able to finger tighten them to hold them in place. I deviated from the instructions somewhat and after building one 5-shelf, I added a ladder and connected 2 of the 4 shelves and then 2 of the final 5 to save my back. I gently put the whole thing together and then tightened all of the hardware. The finished bookcase is very sturdy feeling and not wobbly at all. I am pleased with this purchase and will definitely need to buy another.

Great shelves. Look nice and are sturdy. I am a 68 yo woman and I was able to put them together myself. Would be easier with 2 people, though.
