Bookcases

This bookshelf was exactly what I was looking for. I chose the textured black finish to mitigate the industrial smooth steel look in order to reduce their impact on the room. I am very happy with that decision. These bookcases are well-built and very sturdy and a great lower cost alternative to wood bookcases. For me the main problem with wood bookcases is their tendency for the shelves to warp and bow when fully loaded with large books. With these bookcases I don't have that problem and I am able to fully load the shelves with anything I desire without concern of warping or bowing. If you're looking for flexible, sturdy, and well-built bookcases for an area where color takes precedent rather than woodgrain this is an excellent alternative."..."  Read more

We needed multiple bookcases for a lot of books when we moved from a place that had built-in shelving to one with none. These bookcases were perfect! The price was great, that quality terrific, most especially for the price, [...] We got 4 bookcases delivered for the price of what one and a half would have cost of from ..er..another place that starts with I."..."  Read more

I got this bookshelf unit to replace a particle board bookshelf unit that collapsed under the weight of all my textbooks (I'm a college student). This Hon unit is both sturdy and lightweight (45 pounds). It came completely assembled. [...] One person can carry it alone, but it is bulky. I got the color "putty" which is a grayish beige. I think "putty" is an accurate name for it. Basically, this shelving unit suits my purposes very well... there is only one con I have with it and that's the Hon nameplate in the center of the top shelf. I didn't really notice it in the picture (although it's there). I just find the nameplate to be tacky and annoying. However, as a college student, I'm not trying to have the most fashionable room-- I'm just trying to have strong shelves that won't collapse. This bookshelf looks like it's very well made."..."  Read more

I purchased two bookcases for my family room to hold books and display items. They add a lot of personality to the room and contribute greatly to the contemporary style of my home. We did encounter one problem in assemblying the bookcases. One of the inside shelves on both bookcases did not align properly causing a small gap between the inside shelf and outside shelf but we were able to work around the problem on both shelves by covering the gaps with books. But I love them anyway!!!!"..."  Read more
