    These shelves will handle anything. I bought a large rock at Mount Zion national park and its fits perfectly in a cubby. I have several hundred hard cover books and these babies handle them. No sagging, no wiggling, they are solid. So far I have purchased four and I just bought two more. I shopped for months, and these are the best. Very strong materials, watch the assembly - it can be tricky but if you play the soundtrack to Les Miserable, sing along, and have a glass of wine, you will get them together just fine. Extremely pleased.

    Very easy to put together - I put two of them together and it took me about 90 minutes each. Directions were clear. It's not the fanciest piece in the world, nor would it ever be considered and heirloom piece, but it is functional and looks perfectly fine in our living room - one on either side of our TV.

  • Better than expected
    Verified Purchase

    Pleasantly surprised how elegant this piece looks and how sturdy it is. I purchased hoping it would be nice enough for our open concept, common area, without looking like bedroom furniture- it's turned out to look better that what expected.

  • This is so chic and the perfect size!
    Verified Purchase

    We needed a delicate looking bookshelf for my 6-year old daughters bedroom and this was the perfect fit. The stripes are very chic and her bedroom looks like it's straight of a pinterest post. Highly recommend.

  • Smells really bad!
    Verified Purchase

    This user earned $1.00 Club Great Offer Stock Rewards for writing this review.Learn More

    It looks OK after assembly but the smell is just too strong and bad! This only means one thing: the manufacturer used very-low quality paint for this bookcase. greatofferstock.com should have done a much better job making sure everything they sell meet minimum standards.

  • Nice Addition to My Traditional Decor
    Verified Purchase

    This bookcase/display unit provided a wonderful update to my living room and was relatively easy for my husband and me to assemble. This unit is not a light piece of furniture; I'd advise assembling this piece close to where it will stand. It offers lots of room to stash treasured items. Now I feel organized and very up-to-date with this chic new addition.

  • VERY BAD QUALITY!!! DO NO BUY IT!
    Verified Purchase

    This user earned $1.00 Club Great Offer Stock Rewards for writing this review.Learn More

    I got this piece yesterday. The quality of it is SO BAD. The painting falls. The pieces were not cut well, so it did not assembled well, you can see the spaces between, see the pictures. I will not return because I know I will be a hassle, I know it may sounds ridiculous, but I feel like I should be refunded without having to send it back, just look at the pictures. Unfortunately, I could not upload all the pictures, but there were 4 screws that could not get tight at all. On the back panel I had to put tapes to hold it together, because there were no space for me to add the screws. I so disappointed with this purchase, but again I will not return because I have read some reviews here about reruns and they are not happy.

    • A:

      12.5" high

    Read more Read less
  • Q:

    "How deep is each shelf? I see that the bookcase is 12.5" deep, but will a 12.5" wide book or binder fit on the shelf without sticking out?"

    • A:

      No, a 12.5" wide book will not fit on the shelf. It would be over the edge. The shelf measures 10.5" deep. It is a very nice bookcase.

  • Q:

    "Can you order just the White backing or does it have to be Grey or beige stripe? I would like just a white back. Thanks. Laura C"

    • A:

      Currently only the grey/stripe is available.

  • Q:

    "Does this have the flimsy cardboard back that so many bookcases have?"

    • A:

      It is a pressed cardboard but not flimsy at all. There is an individual section for each shelf. We are very pleased with the construction and the material used for these definitely not like the bookcases you are referring to.

    • A:

      It is cardboard, but sturdy. I have no complaints about this unit.

    • A:

      Yes to cardboard- no to flimsy. It holds together very well and is quite good looking. Nice buy!

    • A:

      It isn't solid wood but it is sturdy. You can display solid white on the inside or a white a tan stripe which we did it looks sharp. We have been very happy with ours.

  • Q:

    "Exactly how wide is the base of the bookshelf? I'm assuming the 31.5 width refers to the top molding, which I have room for, but I need to know if the bottom will fit in my space, which is slightly more narrow."

    • A:

      It is 30 inches

    • A:

      Hi ChefDanielle, I just measured it and it is exactly 30 3/16" The top is true to width and is 31.5". We bought two of these and love them. Easy to assemble and very well made!

    • A:

      I agree with the person who answered 30 inches. My measurement showed just "a hair" over, but I probably didn't use as much strength when tightening the base. luvmythreads

  • Q:

    "Is the MDF material painted or vinyl wrapped or what?"

    • A:

      Spray painted.

    • A:

      Looks to me like it is painted. It is nice and sturdy and definitely not tacky. I receive lots of compliments on it.

    • A:

      It is painted and has very slick finish. Well pleased..

  • Q:

    "What is the backing made of? We were looking at another bookshelf but the back was tacky cardboard material made to look like wood."

    • A:

      The backing is not solid wood but sturdy enough to look nice. I purchased the white backing so do not know about the grey/striped one. But the white looks really nice.

  • Q:

    "Is the back of this bookcase white or is it the grey and striped?"

    • A:

      You are provided with 2 options, depending on which you choose. One side is what I would refer to as "slate blue" in color. It is a solid color and every panel is the same color (no stripe). However, the opposite side of the panels offer a "white and tan stripe". I chose this option, since I wanted it to accent tan furnishings; it came out looking fine and the stripes lined up pretty well. So, you have these two options available. I like having bought 1 item with 2 different looks. I'm pleased to offer my assistance with your question,

  • Q:

    "How thick is the bottom piece? Can you assemble the bookcase without it? I am looking to put it on top of a cabinet but need a specific size and it is a bit too tall. "

    • A:

      Simple Living does not have information regarding the thickness of the bottom piece of the cabinet. The manufacturer does not recommend assembling the bookcase without the bottom piece.

  • Q:

    "What is MDF and where is it used on the bookcase?"

    • A:

      MDF stands for medium density fiberboard. It is a wood product that contains resins and glue for strength and density.I'm guessing that most of what appears to be wood on the product is the MDF. I have the bookcase and love it.

  • Q:

    "I see the answer below to my question, but it wasn't really answered. I want to leave the backing off. As long as I attach the bookcases to the wall, they will not be less sturdy than with the backing on, correct?"

    • A:

      My husband also wanted to leave off the back panels, but they really give a nice decorative appearance. If your going to attach the shelf to the wall it should be safe.

  • Q:

    "Do you have to use the "splits" in the shelves or can you just have all of them full length? Thanks"

    • A:

      I am not sure but there are pre-drilled holes for them.

    • A:

      The divide panel can be removed. However, there will be a hole where the panel should be attached.

  • Q:

    "Can these stand alone and be stable WITHOUT affixing the backing? The white/beige doesn't go with my decor and my gray walls might not match the gray backing."

    • A:

      For safety we recommend to attaching the bookcase to the wall.

  • Q:

    "Do the materials of the bookcase contain any toxic flame retardants?"

    • A:

      This item did meet the standard toxic flame retardant requirement.

  • Q:

    "What is the load capacity of each shelf?"

    • A:

      Unfortunately we do not test the weight limitations of products.

  • Q:

    "How much does this bookcase weigh?"

    • A:

      The approximate shipping weight of this item is 78 lbs.

  • Q:

    "Can two of these bookcases be placed side by side or will the molding cause a gap?"

    • A:

      Yes, the molding will cause a gap.

    • A:

      Yes will most likely cause a gap but very beautiful bookcase and very easy to put together. Did it all by myself did not need my husband to help me and it is still holding up beautifully.

  • Q:

    "When will this bookcase be available to purchase? It is currently out of stock and I would love to have this in my nursery by August. "

    • A:

      I'm sorry restock information is not available.

  • Q:

    "What are the dimensions "

    • A:

      The overall dimensions are approximately 69.75" inches high x 31.5" inches wide x 12.5" inches deep.

  • Q:

    "Do you have to put the vertical dividers in or can you leave them out?"

    • A:

      The centered dividers provide support for the shelves. I would not recommend removing them.

    • A:

      The vertical dividers are essential. I found them to be a great replacement for book ends.
