I bought the smaller one. I really love the industrial contemporary look, but there were definite manufacturer flaws. The frame had to be expanded where the two sides meet in order for them to fit together. I did not pay attention to the wood because it's the last step, so I assembled the entire frame and went to attach the top piece, the pre-drilled holes were on TOP of the piece, not the bottom. When I called Great Offer Stock, they were helpful, but I had little faith they were going to be able to replace the flawed top shelf. And I was right. They could not resolve my issue or replace the part, offering me a very minor refund, but at least it was something. The shelf is too high for anyone to see the holes on the top side, so I used a drill and made my own wholes so I could get the top attached safely and securely. In the end, it worked out but it sure took creativity on my part to make it so. Finished product: I do love the look, just wish it would've been less of a headache to get it.
YAY! It's Awesome. I plan to order 3 more to use across my while wall. Bought the 40 inch wide version. Nice rustic but sophisticated look.
I was pleased with the price and look of this unit. Only some of the pieces were labeled so it was difficult to put the right piece together and I had to take it apart and redo it half way through. You need two people and a pair of pliers to straighten out the soft metal braces that had mashed up angles. After a couple of hours and a few words I don't usually use - I had a bookcase I liked the looks of.
We bought four of these shelving units plus the low console for our tv. They were certainly easy to assemble, and seem relatively sturdy, but I will say that I was a little disappointed when they arrived. On 3 out of 5 units, we had to use pliers to reshape the steel so that the pieces would fit together. In some cases it was evident that the shipper had dropped the box, crushing the metal, in others, it seemed like a manufacturing oversight. Now that they're assembled, I'm happy, and believe that they'll hold up over time, but that's still to be determined. I am disappointed when I walk by the shelves that the places we had to pry the metal are visible. On another note, depending on what you're shelving, book ends are essential!
From a bird's eye view on Great Offer Stock this piece is a bit expensive considering the amount of raw materials involved. However the wooden boards are very heavy and high quality, I'd never believe they were not 1 piece real wood. It was very easy to assemble using only 1 single kind of screw, and it was up and running within 1hr!
I had priced custom built bookcases for a design project but when the price came in I knew immediately that I did not want to present it to the client. I searched for a more economical solution to the problem and I began a long search on various sites for a substitute solution. After looking at many etageres and reading reviews I bought 2 long and 1 short of these to gang together on a wall in the client's study. The smaller in length is taller and the shelves do not line up with the 2 longer ones but I knew that and factored that into the design. I talked with customer service about care of shipping and all three arrived on schedule and in great shape. No problems. It takes about 45 minutes to assemble each one. It could not be simpler if one reads the directions and lines up all the bolts. In about 2 1/2 hours I had them up with the taller in the center and the two longer on either side. The client loves them, I approve of the design of them. I would recommend these simple industrial etageres both for their design, and for ease of assembly. I also like the three together with the taller in the middle and the client thinks it is all very well done. After installing them I told the client what the custom bookcases would have cost and after he recovered he liked my choice even more and he is very grateful.
Love, love, love these bookshelves. I bought two to go on either side of my TV cabinet. They are outstanding quality. The shelves are real wood, not particle board or MDF. The frame is black metal with walnut color shelves. They are very easy to put together. The only trouble I had was with the x shaped support across the back. It's a very tight fit to keep the shelves stable. Best advice is to only partially screw in the screws until all four are in place and then fully tighten them all. Each bookshelf took less than an hour to put together by myself. Again, these are outstanding quality and very much worth the price. I had bought some cheaper bookshelves somewhere else which were horrible, arrived with damaged parts and just plain cheap. Those got sent back and I bought these. Love them, would buy more if I had somewhere else to put them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for this style of bookshelves.
Box was very heavy and pretty banged up when it arrived (took exactly 1 week from purchase!) but everything inside was fine. Took my husband and I maybe 20-30 minutes to assemble. It looks beautiful, the wood is a lovely dark color. Fit all of our books and decor items, and fits in the space perfectly. Definitely recommend!
This is a very nice piece for the money. Solid, classic style that would go with any decor - super easy to assemble. Very happy with this purchase.
My wife and I have purchased many pieces of furniture with the "some assembly required" tagline. Few things challenge a relationship quite like putting furniture together. The Somme Rustic Metal Frame line is sturdy (real wood, not particle board, real metal frames not just thin sheet metal with tack welds) and simple to assemble. Allen wrench, bolts, boards and frame. It's that simple. I only wish I hadn't wasted all that time, energy and money on substandard and complicated lesser products for all those years! Seriously, I know this sounds corny, but I've already doubled down and purchased two bookshelves and the TV stand. They are worth a few dollars more to get real quality.
Wow! I was pleasantly surprised to see that the bookshelf was well made. My fear was that the wood shelf would look like pressed wood. It did not, and looked more like a natural piece of wood. The first bookshelf took me over an 1.5 hrs to assembly. The second bookshelf to assemble took me about an hour. Once I discovered the small wrench type tool that came with the bookshelf could be used with both the smaller end, or the larger end made the job go a little faster. Especially when turning the screws into the narrower spots on the bookshelf. Be sure you have a few furniture leg end felts on hand. One of the bookshelves was missing a leg end and it was going to set on a wood floor. It's a good thing I had a furniture leg end on hand otherwise I would not set it on the wood floor. This is a good quality piece of furniture.
Looks beautiful! EXTREMELY sturdy, too heavy for me to carry the entire box inside myself without a dolly. My husband was extremely pleasantly surprised I picked this to house his stuff because he also loved the style for his man cave/office. I'd gladly put it in our family room too, may order another. Fairly easy and quick to assemble. The top piece does seem to be "upside down", but I think it's so that as you stand beside the shelf and look up, what you would see is actually the under side of the top shelf (unless you're super tall) so they made the underside look pretty and the very top of the shelf is more unfinished. We still have stuff sitting on top of the top shelf, but it does have a lip up there that makes it function more like a tray than a flat shelf. But neither of us is tall enough to see it up there, so again, it works well for us and I think is supposed to be like that. Overall a great purchase!
Great product and price! I love the rustic look this bookshelf gives. Product is very heavy and sturdy. It was fairly simple to put together. I did notice a weird smell after opening the box and taking out all the pieces, the smell lingered in the room for about 3 days but it has decreased over time. I imagine the smell is from the stain they use on the wood shelves. Overall, very please with product and it has met my expectations.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book shelf! I purchased two and they look fantastic side by side. I get endless complements on how sleek and modern they are. They are a classic pierce that can be styled however you want. They were also surprisingly easy to put together, a bit heavy maybe, but it was a quick and easy process. The shelves are a wonderful rich color too!
One of the few shelves I could find with 6 tiers. Nice styling and easy to put together.
The look of this bookshelf is great. Very easy to put together. I find the design of this could have been better. This bookshelf is top heavy. The very bottom shelf could have been designed as thick as the top piece to counter the top weight of the bookshelf. Also, when connecting the front vertical metal bars, the metal doesn't align properly.
This is a beautiful bookshelf. The wood is very sturdy and solid, with a deep dark color and the frame is very sturdy. We love it enough that we bought a 2nd one.
This is such an attractive bookshelf and looks perfect in my bedroom.
This looks nice; however, the metal frame has indents in it from the zip ties just from shipping, it's a light, hollowed out metal frame that really bends easily. I have two spots that came bent out of the package, but due to the size/weight I wasn't going to deal with a return and all the hassle of repacking and dealing with another one. The wood shelves are solid. This was easy to put together; however, two of the screws and screw holes don't function properly, the screws just keep turning and turning and don't totally tighten down. I'll give it a 3 due to the issues with the screw holes not functioning properly and how easily the metal frame dented from shipping (which there was no way to tell of damage until the item was fully open and out of packing and zip ties). It does look nice.
I'd been looking for something for the bathroom for 8 years. Finally, I bit the bullet and got the narrow unit. Box is very heavy because the shelves are real wood. They are stained a nice rich dark brown just as shown. The frame was easy to put together. The instructions were clear. All the hardware was in pouch with an allen key. Handy. The only glitch was the top most shelf where all four of the screws weren't aligned. I got three of them in and gave up on #4. It took about 20-30 minutes to put together. Recommend moving the pieces close to the room/area that will be final resting place. Once put together the bulk of the frame makes it hard to carry up/down stairs. But a nice piece. I left out bottom two shelves so I could fit a hamper in the bathroom. Works just fine.
