You can arrange all of your literary collections neatly with this bookcase since it has two tiers, or three if you count the top shelf to slot your favorite books and other stuff. It has an inch-thick interior shelf, so you don’t have to think about the sturdy quality to carry a lot of heavy books. Furthermore, it has a pleasing aesthetic with wood grain features and a sharp-angled silhouette that complements your decor.

I got the washed gray color and it’s exactly as pictured. Got this bookcase to hold books for my new grandchild. It’s perfect. It looks like a high end piece of furniture. It’s solid and sturdy heavy duty so as to not tip over. Was easy to put together. Very pleased with this purchase

Bush Furniture has created a bookcase with three color options that will add a touch of casual style to your space. It features six cubby shelves for storing books, home, and office supplies as well as showcasing decorative accents. Oh, with elegant wood accents, tapered legs, and curved base rails making it a great addition to any space.

This is a nice little unit, easy to assemble and pretty solid overall. If anyone else is looking for something to match French provincial bedroom furniture, the antique white color is surprisingly close--just no gold pin-striping.

If you need a bookshelf for a limited space, the Theo Tall Bookshelf is a good option because it has a sleek and space-saving design that you can use in your office, kitchen, or living room. It has six stages, as can be seen, and is made of a mixture of wood and metal. Each shelf is extra-wide to allow you to stack books neatly.

I am in total awe of this elegant bookshelf! Gives such a pretty ‘open’ feeling & was so easy to put together. I love that it is bolted into the wall so I won't have the fear of it crashing down on one of my babies. Simple bookcase, but really adds something extra to the space. It’s absolutely beautiful. Kitty Queen approves. I feel as if I need about 10 more lol.

This bookcase is a perfect way to proudly show all of your book collections. It has six useful shelves and a handsome cappuccino finish that gives it a classic chic look. This bookcase is solid, robust, and beautiful, thanks to its durable MDF, particleboard, and engineered veneer construction. It can be placed in any room because it tucks neatly into a corner, freeing up valuable space.

Love this bookshelf! It doesn't take up a lot of room but holds a ton of books! It looks amazing in our daughter's nursery & I love how I can put larger sized books on top. It's very sturdy & was easy to put together.

Finally, this solid wood bookcase has a natural character and rustic charm that will not only neatly arrange your books but can also be a unique way to add comfort, elegance, and nature to your home and build healthier living spaces. It is made of two solid wood planks rather than one, which decreases the chance of breaking, increases strength and stability, and prevents wrapping.

This shelf is just what I wanted. After looking for quite some time, I settled on this unit. The packaging was great, very protective. Everything was in great shape because of the nice packing job. It went together really easily and the overall fit and finish and build quality is rock solid once you get all the screws tightened. Thanks for making such a quality piece of furniture!
