Winsome Terrace Solid/Composite Wood 3-Tier 26-Inch Wide Storage Shelf, Espresso (92327)

This bookcase is sturdy. Assembly was easy. I especially appreciated that the unit back looks good because I am not pushing it against a wall.

Shelves do not adjust

I purchased the standalone shelf (without the baskets) and I am happy with what I received. It is not the most sturdy material, but it gets the job done. I primarily intended it to be used more for decoration, so I am not the least bit concerned about its ability to hold weight. That being said, the shelves are not quite as flimsy as some reviewers have made them out to be and I would trust it even with a full load of book or other heavier objects.Assembling the shelf was extremely simple and the directions were very well written; it took me no more than fifteen minutes from start to finish. I was also happy that the shelf did not off-gas as much as some of the furniture I have ordered from Amazon. My only complaint is that the back is actually two pieces of very thin particle board with a plastic strip between them, which looks a bit off and gives it a cheaper look than I would have liked.All taken into consideration, I am very happy with this shelf and would purchase from Winsome again.

I have put together a lot of furniture. I have come to accept the quality for this kind of furniture. I was pleasantly surprised at the great quality of this product. It was definitely a step up from my usual purchases, but still at a reasonable price. I recently moved and ordered quite a few pieces of small furniture. I wish this would have been my first purchase, I would have purchased all my pieces from this company. The only thing with this piece is the coloring is a little deceptive on the picture. I was expecting a mostly black piece of furniture (matches my other pieces). This has a redish hue in it. In fact when I first opened the box I thought I received the wrong item, even though the box was marked espresso. But what do I know, I don't drink coffee and I still like it so I am happy with my purchase.

The paint/finish was flaking off before I assembled it. It's just ok for the price I didn't expect solid wood. The back is very flimsy. Know that you can't adjust the height of the shelves. The other review that said it smells is dead on. It's been out of the box & assembled for a few hours & you can still smell it from a room away.Update: We have had this for a month now. The smell that permeated the downstairs lasted a few days to a week. Now a month later you can still smell the bookcase when you are in close proximity. Honestly, if it was possible to dismantle this item, packaging it back up & return it without spending hours to do it we would returned it already.

The price was decent (though it has dropped from what it was when I bought it) - but if the box hadn't already been recycled I think I would send it back.It was easy enough to assemble, and quality what you would expect for an item of this price, but the problem is it stinks, like really, really bad - like nausea-inducing bad. If you've ever smelled fish leather (which is as bad as it sounds), that's what this smells like. I had to put it in the garage, and now the garage stinks. Since I can't send it back I am thinking I will try to paint it. I don't think I can bring it inside as it currently smells, and it doesn't seem to be dissipating, so painting it seems my only option.So - in short, buy it if you need something cheap and decent, but plan to paint it or only use it where the smell won't bother you.

I was a bit apprehensive in that a shelf broke off during assembly. I reluctantly put together the replacement. I was feeling during assembly, it felt weak. However, following the instructions and putting all the pieces in place as instructed, the item gained sturdiness. It’s the exact size I wanted, small but noticeable. I ordered just for placing pictures and a couple of cute miscellaneous pieces. It’s perfect! Also, this same exact piece is sold at middle scale retailers and considerably higher.

Love this bookshelf! My daughter put it together in 30 minutes. I had read mixed reviews before ordering. I find it to be attractive, wood is smooth and finish is nice. Great value for $’s spent. It smells funky, but the odor will dissipate with time out of it’s box. Was packed well with all parts included to assemble. Sturdiness is adequate for my needs. If you twist it, it gives a bit, not bad for an assembly product.
