excellent display shelvesThese shelves go well in a small space because the tilted design and see-through construction makes them look less bulky than typical vertical shelves. The gray finish goes well with my decor and the deep base makes them unlikely to tip over. The assembly was straightforward and took about 1/2 hour and they include the tool needed, an allen wrench (although I used an electric drill/driver with the same size allen tip to speed things up). The only reason I didn't give a 5 for appearance is that the right hand joint between top and bottom sections showed some gaps when screwed together and the screws on that side did not fit flush like those on the left, although those are barely noticeable issues. The packaging is very strong and protective.

This was a disappointing purchase and will be going back. I loved the look in store and it does seem fairly sturdy. However, both the first box and the second box (exchange) looked like crap in terms of the finish. I am not sure if it’s just the rustic driftwood finish - we own other items in that finish that look fine - but these were disappointing and I’ll have to look elsewhere.

PerfectThis bookshelf is perfect for a small room or space. It is VERY sturdy and does not seem to tip easily. The sides are solid wood but the shelves are not. This was not too bad to assemble. The only problem I had was the middle screw hole cover did not snap in flush. Other than that, it looks nice and is worth the extra funds over those cheapie ones out there!
Pro tip: there are two longer screws. Separate them first to avoid a long search!

Lovely bookshelf… Annoying but quick assemblywe absolutely love the appearance of this bookshelf and that the bottom two shelves have ledges to contain toys, books etc. I also like that there is a mounting future as we purchased it for a nursery. The Allen wrench assembly was a little annoying and tedious but it didn't take very long in the end. The vertical pieces are made of a solid walnut stained wood and the shelving pieces are made of a wood veneer and MDF type construction. This didn't bother me entirely, but would be nice if it was all solid wood. Overall it seems like quality construction and like it would last a long time.
What bins come with it? Each of the pictured bookcases has different bins, and neither matches the description.
And since I want to use it as a bookcase I don't want bins. Can I purchase it without them?
Asked by: djd1950
This item is sold by itself. Any bins pictured are for example only, and would need to be purchased seperately.

spacing
how far apart are the shelves, mainly the bottom two? I was thinking about buying this to replace several odd pieces in my craft room and if I can get my 12 x 12 scrapbook albums on one of those shelves I'm sold. Thank you:)
Asked by: clutteredcrafter
Mine are less that 12 Inches apart probably because they in centimeters, not inches. You can call the store and they will measure the floor models for you.

What Container Store bins and baskets work best with this shelf?
Asked by: SLS1208
I played around in the store prior to purchasing this unit and ended up selecting the Cottage Woven Bins. I found that on the bottom shelf I could stack the medium on top of an extra large, and put two of the small bins stacked beside it. On the second to bottom shelf I could stack two large, and again stack two small beside them. The middle shelf has space (or clearance) to stack a medium on top of an extra large (though they have to be turned sideways due to shelf depth). The 2nd to top shelf can handle the height of two of the small baskets stacked with room to spare. (And has room for an even smaller container beside it). The top shelf is more for nick knacks etc.
Even with all these bins in use, there is some extra space on the shelves, but hopefully this will give you a basic idea of what it can hold.

The unit is 22 5/8 inches deep at the bottom. Is that correct?
Asked by: Lefty1234
The answer from Container Store does not match the item I just purchased. The unit is wider than it is deep - so the 19" measurement in the dimensions is from the front to the back of the unit. The width from side to side is just over 22.5"
