HOMBAZAAR 3 Tier Bookshelf,Grey Industrial Book Shelf,Engineered Wood and Metal Deep Bookshelves,Low Shelf Bookcase for Living Room,Office,Bedroom and Kitchen

I bought the black shelf for my kitchen. Came well packed with clear directions for assembly. All necessary hardware and tools also well packed and clearly marked. The metal legs and back support are very nice, engineered wood shelves were nice looking, smooth finish, undamaged in transit.

Sturdy and easy to put together and very eye-catching. I love it and I like that the shelves are high and there’s a lot of room.

This shelf is sturdy, looks nice, and was easy to assemble.

The good:I was very impressed with how well built this shelving unit is. Square tube metal framing. Good quality machined bolts.I bought the 4-tier unit based on specific dimensions. I planned to use this as an entertainment center for a bedroom. And it fit perfectly in the space I needed.The metal frame is heavy -- each shelf has a support bar under it.Top shelf is very beefy and will support a medium sized (30-40" class) flat screen TV.It comes with nice wall brackets for safety (anti-tip) but this means you need to drill holes in your walls and use the included screws and anchors. The brackets are deep enough to work on walls with thicker baseboards. I have the weight distributed on mine... and that makes it unnecessary to use the wall brackets. It's super stable with the feet adjusted properly. But if you have unsupervised young children (yikes!) who like to climb, or it's top heavy, use the brackets.The feet have adjustable height (similar to an appliance) to ensure the shelf sits level on a variety of floors. The decorative skirts hide this. Very nice feature. The feet also have a plastic bottom to help prevent marring wood floors. But also sits nice on carpet. To adjust, you raise the skirt and turn the foot with a wrench (or your fingers if someone can lift the corner for you).Once received and opened, it arrived in good shape. Lots of screws and small pieces are included so don't have small kids around during assembly. The parts are neatly organized into pouches with letters on them.I am mechanically inclined. I separated all of the small parts into piles with their letters. Do not mix them up! I followed the instructions perfectly and took my time. Do not hurry on this. The pictures are clear, calling out each part by letter. A few extra parts are provided in case you lose one (or more likely, one is forgotten during manufacturing). This is a nice touch.The bad:It took a long time for me to receive it. The first unit shipped was returned to Amazon with no explanation for a refund. So I had to reorder it. I got lucky because it went on sale by the time of the re-order. This was mildly frustrating because I was waiting on this unit to complete another project. But the sale price benefit took the edge off.My guess is the first got damaged or destroyed somehow. The packaging is pretty dense without much protection. A good drop from a truck would total it.Top shelf is 16" deep. The rest of the shelves are only 12" deep. I wished all shelves were the same 16" depth. That would have worked better with the stereo receiver I have on the second shelf. But I made it work.The wood is very fake. I'm not sure what material it is. Maybe some sort of manufactured pressed material. Fiberglass? Plastic? Foam cellular board? Very light weight. The metal cross bar under each shelf offers the structural support. The wood grain looks real enough and has a texture. There is also a clearcoat that was peeling off of mine. In fact, it gave me splinters during assembly. Almost like fiberglass. Multiple rigorous wipes with a soapy rag tamed this down. A few bits could be peeled off in strips. Yuck. But since this emulates rough sawn wood, I don't see any visual impact from this flaw. And once set up, it's no big deal. It's not like you continue to handle it. And it hasn't degraded further so far (been 2 months).Summary:This shelving unit is a hidden gem. For the price you pay, you get a nice, heavy metal furniture quality unit. I'm reducing one star for the quality of the fake wood shelves themselves... and the shipping issues. If the shelves were real wood and no paint peeling, this would be treasure.

Very sturdy and good looking table. Needed something strong for an aquarium. Relatively easy to assemble and looks great!

This unit was as advertised. Well packaged and arrived early. The unit goes together quite easily and issubstantial, cross bars to stabilize so no movement. The shelves are wide enough to allow a printer to fitwithout issue. The shelves are high enough and wide enough to accommodate binders and clearanceto be able to vacumn and move easily. The price was good and would definitely buy from this vendor again.

This is a nice piece of furniture. Got it for my office. It’s sturdy and I like the metal and wood look. It’s larger than I thought but it’s good.Only downside its not really good for books. The sides are open. For pictures, etc this works great!!

This bookshelf is perfect! It’s durable, strong and sturdy. It looks perfect in my office. It was also a great value for the money. I had priced similar bookshelves locally and they couldn’t compare to the price and quality that I received. Love, love, love!
