This is much smaller than my prior book shelf which was broken during my recent move. This book shelf is easy to assemble. You don’t need any tools. The wood is lighter than my other wood furniture but it’s nice and fits nicely in my dining room. It fits more in apartments or bedrooms. It would highly recommend if you are someone who doesn’t want to deal with having to assemble a piece of furniture.
It is sturdy and I love them. My only complaint is that I live on the top floor of a garden apartment. The very heavy boxes were not brought up tp my apartment and just left them by the mailboxes. I’m in my 70’s and had no one to help me carry them up. So, I had to do it myself with enormous effort. This delivery issue prevents me from buying more of these fine shelves.
First purchase of flat pack furniture and I’m loving it. We bought two anticipating a move, and when we did move they were the easiest thing to pack up and put in the uhaul. Very lightweight but very sturdy when set up. All of the clips were fine when they arrived. No damage during shipment, which was awesome. The only thing is, my vision isnt great and since I’m a tad bit on the blind side in low lighting I ended up trying to put them together upside down (operator error for sure).
Wish it was available up to 2m height !
Easy to combine, easy to assemble .
I like the concept of pulling the sides out and clicking the shelves into place, quick to set up and a sturdy unit. It’s great value and arrived quickly
I have no complaints about this shelf. It’s advertised as a bookshelf but its a very deep shelf so it can be used for more than just that. Now that we have some books on it the shelves are quite tall and much deeper than the books themselves. I bought this as a gift and it was greatly appreciated by the receiver that the shelf was so easy to assemble; no tools required. Just unfold the metal frame and snap on the wooden shelves. Holds together very nicely and shipped very nicely and I like the materials used in this shelf.
I wanted folding shelves on a budget (easy to move around or store) for books and DVD’s that would look nice in my living room but not make it look like a workshop space. I bought one of these shelves and it took minutes to unpack and pop the shelves in place. It is a metal frame, but doesn’t look like it belongs in a garage, and the shelves are faux-wood, but are a grey-ish tone, and so they add to the overall look. I’m buying a second one to put side-by-side with the first. I thought the price was a little on the high end, but then I reminded myself that these shelves have a “convenience factor” built-in, which is the ability to break them down, fold them up, and move and store them without fuss or the need for extra helping hands.
I needed some extra space for a growing collection of books. This was just the ticket. It looks very nice, is very sturdy and hold heavy hardcover books with no problems. Instillation was super easy with no tools needed, less then 5 minutes. Also, bookshelf came very well packed with no damage. I would not change a thing!
I like this shelf for my living room. I have a lot of books on it and some photos and little decorations. It was super easy to put together, took me maybe 15-20 minutes. It does take a bit of muscle to get the shelves to snap into place, but it was no problem. 🙂 would highly recommend and I plan to buy another for my husbands office.
I love this bookshelf! It’s extremely sturdy and can hold quite a lot of weight which is awesome. It’s also beautiful to look at if you like the industrial look.
I found the shelves very easy to snap into place, but I’m a strong woman. If you’re a bit weaker, you may want to use a padded mallet to hammer the shelves into place or ask someone for help. Once snapped into place, it isn’t going to budge without some force.
I’ll eventually be getting more of these for my nano aquariums!
I finally received my bookshelf, I was a bit skeptical about it , I thought will come broken or smth but it came nicely packed , in very good condition. It doesn’t need any assembly, that’s what I was looking for ( have no man in the house to assemble things , so I gave it a try) , it took me 2 min literally to put it together.
I love my bookshelf, it’s amazingly sturdy, very cozy, great color and it fits my room just perfect!!! Recommend it to everyone who wants a nice, cozy, sturdy , no headache assembly bookshelf or you can put anything you want on it!! Love love love it!!!
Really happy with this book case, ideal with no fuss
Bought this for my sons dorm. There is quite literally no assembly— open box, folds open. The end. He has a zillion books. It’s very sturdy. Later in the year I bought him a DIY bookshelf (this wouldn’t work for the TV I got him) and was cursing every moment of assembly. I will definitely buy another one of these when he needs his next shelf and for my younger son when he goes off to school. GREAT product!!!
I only wish it was bigger and that I could buy it in different sizes.
These are fabulous shelves! I bought two of them and nothing I have ever bought has been easier to assemble. The frame has some sturdiness to it but is not heavy. It comes like a trifold and then you just snap the shelves in. I am in love with the aesthetic and convenience of these shelves. I am excited to see how they hold up over time.
NO COMPLAINTS. I love my book shelf. There was really no assembly. Once u unfold the actual book shelf out of the box. All is needed is to add the wooden boards & snap them in place. This was a great product invented for people like me. (Press for time). I will prefer this product to anyone. It’s the height of a 4 drawer file cabinet. The widget was a little bit wider than a 4 drawer file cabinet. Great for College Dorm rooms.
Excellent shelf unit. Really easy to put together, sturdy – I was so impressed with the first one that I bought a second one.
This thing is soooo sturdy and really cute. I cannot say how impressed I was with it and how many compliments I have gotten. I went back and forth trying to decide whether to purchase because of the price but I absolutely love it and do not regret the purchase one bit. Took longer to carry it from the door to living room than it did to assemble. Cannot recommend this enough.
Looks amazing assembled and came nicely packaged so there was no damage to any of the parts. More importantly the set up took less than 5 minutes which I loved. The shelves feel thick and sturdy on the metal frame, definitely doesn’t feel cheep. There is a lot of space in between shelves too so lots of storage. I’ve very satisfied and will recommend.
I shopped around a long time for a shelving unit because I didn’t want to pay $100+ for a crappy unit that was hard to assemble. This literally snaps together in minutes and it by far the easiest thing I’ve ever put together. It is really good quality looks great! If I ever need more shelves I would definitely buy another one.
I just moved and have spent so much time assembling furniture. These shelves were a snap to put together, literally. You took it out of the box, unfolded it and snapped the shelves into place and then it was ready to be loaded with supplies. I have it in my office so it has loads of books, paper and notebooks on it and holds up to the weight nicely. I am buying a second shelf to go in my living room for movies and decorations because it looks so much better than the cheap fake wood shelves that you find at Target or Walmart.
This product is packaged so securely that it took me longer to get it out of the box than it did to assemble it! 🙂
It is extremely well made. Very sturdy. I do a lot of sewing/making quilts etc and I needed a place in my sewing room to arrange and keep all my sewing accessories etc. The shelves are nice and big and I also love the fact that you can leave one shelf out on any level if you need extra height for something! Super-easy to put together! I highly recommend this product!
Looks great! Use this for my pantry! Even bought a 2nd one!

The shelves are very sturdy. One of the plastic grippers broke off, but the other three were able to hold the boards in place. I liked that I could put them together for 4 feet( -1 inch) and gave me 4 shelves and a top for decorative purposes. I believe it was a good value.
This is probably the simplest to assemble bookcase I have seen. The frame unfolds, and then you snap the shelves into place. They fit securely, and the whole ensemble is very sturdy. I have put some heavy books on these shelves, and I see no flex or sag at all. It is also very stable on thick carpet, no wobble at all. While maybe slightly pricey for the components, this ease of assembly and solid construction is worth it in my opinion.
I got this because shelves were needed for my kitchen, and it works great. It is tall enough to fit a microwave in between shelves with about an inch and a half gap on the top. It holds all of my food organizers (14 sealed tight organizers) and my spice rack! Really happy with my buy, just wish it was a little taller with more height between the shelves to fit larger items.
This bookshelf is beautiful and functional.
As others have mentioned, I also find the deep shelves to be especially useful. I have a lot of books, but not a lot of space. However, because the shelves are so deep, I was able to double stack my books, and still leave some space for knick knacks and other ornaments.
This shelving unit was also one of the easiest pieces of furniture I’ve ever assembled. Some of the other reviewers mentioned having difficulty getting the shelves to lock onto the frame. I’m not sure if something changed since those reviewers purchased the item, but I did not have this issue at all. I was easily able to put the bookshelf together by myself in under 15 minutes. And despite being so easy to assemble/disassemble, it still feels really sturdy and like it will last a long time (unlike my now deceased, more expensive and difficult to build, IKEA bookshelf which died while I was moving apartments. The event which triggered this purchase as a replacement).
To help those still undecided, here’s a quick list of what I think are this bookshelf’s best qualities:
* Holds a lot of items, but doesn’t take up a lot of space.
* Easy to assemble/disassemble.
* Sturdy, reusable.
* Easy to store and move, especially in its disassembled state.
* Easy to meld into preexisting decor/furniture.
Though I was lucky enough to get this item during a flash sell, I would definitely buy it again at full price without any reservations.
Easy to assemble and sturdy. Looks pretty good too. No complaints here

I bought this to hold my plants in front of my southwest facing windows. It is perfect for my plans. The second shelf up matches with my window sill and so I am able to use the top 3 shelves to store the plants and the bottom shelf to store the miscellany gardening supplies.
It was very easy to assemble, however, we had to put more pressure than expected to get the shelves into place. It was not problem at all to do, though.
We put our shelf on a high pile carpet against a window sill and it is very sturdy.
Since we move every year or so, we thought it would be nice to have an easy to assemble/easy to disassemble shelf. This is perfect for that. The materials seem really good so I’m hoping it will last a few moves.
I am the first to admit I am not mechanically enclined. So when I found this product I was hoping for the best. I am glad to say that this shelf beat my expectations. It took me 5 minutes to put the shelves on. I think it took me longer to take the pieces out of the box than it took to assemble the shelf. I highly recommend this product for any non-carpenters such as myself.
I read a thousand reviews for folding bookcases. This one seemed very good. The reviews were very good, too. Then it went on sale. I purchased one. It arrived. I unpacked it and had the shelves snapped into place within two minutes. It is very sturdy. I needed it for 2-inch three ring binders. They slip onto the shelf perfectly. I was so happy with this shelf that I thought about buying another. Then they went on sale again. It took me five seconds to decide to buy another. The shelves look nice. They work well. I will buy another if they go on sale again!
Exactly what I was looking for, retro, quirky, sturdy and looks great!! It was so nice to buy something thats easy to put together for once!!
I love these shelves. I purchased this for my daughter’s 1st off campus apartment/bedroom. So easy to set up. Very sturdy. She could put a fan on the top shelf if she needs to. I bought some large canvas bins for the bottom 2 shelves for clothing & saved the top 2 shelves for loose girl stuff. I would definitely buy again if needed.
This little shelving unit really surprised me. It was super simple to assemble…took no time at all. It holds so many of my books, looks great and is much sturdier than I anticipated. It looks great in my office without taking up valuable space. It’s so great, I’ve ordered a second one. I have a lot of books for school and personal pleasure and this shelving unit really fits everything perfectly and looks beautiful. A great value!
I’ve been looking for something affordable and not complete junk (ie particle board book cases) and this did the trick. Came right to my house, unboxed and assembled it. Looks nice; its small but holds many books. Probably a little over priced but seems to be the best option around for affordable “not complete junk” book cases. I’m buying another one.
Sleek look, very sturdy and about one minute to attach shelves! Very good value- really Open out in black satin metal
After being fed up with having to assemble wooden furniture. I decided to be lazy and buy metal based bookcase. I don’t regret. Beautiful industrial look, great wooden grey-brown shelves easy to assembly, fairly sturdy
Love the fact it was simple to assemble with no tools required. Plus great it’s foldable as I’m renting and will be easier to move.

It helped me with the lack of space in my one bedroom house
Really like this item, so easy to set up and looks great in my study, would definitely recommend!

Awsome for the price looks really good not to Bulky but solid
Easy to assemble- just clicks together, looks great, good height between shelves so you can put taller items on it. It is pretty heavy though, I needed help to get it upstairs!
Ended up buying this for some pictures and stuff to go on and it works, but the color was a lot darker than the picture made it out to be. However, we found one at a local store that is the color we need so we will be getting that sometime soon and this will go in my daughters room for her books and movies. 🙂
Really like this, solid and looks more expensive than it is!
This bookcase is perfect. It’s light in weight but strong, very easy to put together and looks good. The shelves aren’t too close together so it works for A4 binders. Very happy with the purchase, especially given the price. I’ve ordered the matching desk now!!
This bookcase is very easy to out together, requiring no tools.
It looks really nice and I will be looking at other Coavas furniture to add to my house.
Really nice unit. Easy to put together. Used two of these and matching desk to create a functional corner office statio
Very cute bookcase, I’ve put it in my living room and have all of my houseplants on it. It’s an ideal size and suits my home nicely.
The only potential issue I may have is that attaching the boards to the frame needed quite a bit of force, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to take it apart again. (Which is okay because I’m not planning to any time soon)
I have ordered three of these, and am planning on ordering one more. These shelves are easy to assemble, sturdy, and look great. Since the house we moved into did not have much kitchen storage space, and no pantry, they have helped us greatly with making the space we do have usable.
It is a neat sturdy bookcase. We had a small problem putting shelves on at first.
I found this to be an excellent purchase – it supports a large volume of books and was easily assembled.
I’m not one to take the time to write reviews, but I am so impressed with this shelf that I had to share. Almost went with a slightly cheaper shelf, so glad I didn’t. My favorite qualities: 1) Ease of assembly – This was the easiest thing to put together. It took me literally 5 minutes to assemble, including the time to open the box & remove contents. No issues with pieces fitting together just right. Wish everything was this easy!; 2) Durability – The metal frame is solid, the “wooden” shelves strong & sturdy. Even though I’m currently using this more for toy storage, I can tell it can easily withstand loads of books if needed. You would expect such a strong piece of furniture to be heavy but it’s surprisingly light!; 3) Stylish, modern yet rustic look – Its sleek, minimal look fits perfectly with my decor, and the “wood”, although fake, appears to be good quality. No easily peeling veneer and I love the warm brown tone that has an almost gray tinge to it; 4) Compact storage option – I don’t have much storage space so I love the fact that if there comes a time I no longer need it but want to save it, I can fold this up and store it compactly & easily.
I realize this won’t satisfy all needs or wants, as it is on the smaller side for a shelf. So pay attention to dimensions if considering. I needed a shorter shelf to go along a basement wall below a high window, so I bought two, placed them side by side and it works perfectly for my needs.
This bookshelf requires minimal assembly, all that is need is to unwrap from box unfold and click into place the shelf’s, the bookshelf is sturdy and has lots of space to insert storage boxes, fits into small spaces and is made of very good metal frame and MDF shelf’s.
Really really lovely bookcase so easy to put up and perfect to finish off the room very pleased would recommend
Fantastic book shelf which is easy to assemble and to put away.
Fantastic book shelf which is easy to assemble and to put away.
This is super light and easy to assemble. I used it for my home office and it looks good and is quite sturdy.
Great bookcase! Not too large and simple to put together. Looks just like the picture.
This shelf is the easiest piece of furniture I have every put together. The metal part comes altogether and you literally just unfold it and snap the shelves into place. It looks way more expensive than it actually is and holds a decent amount of stuff. I use it in my kitchen because I have literally no cabinet space. It holds my glasses, dishes, utensils and a microwave.
I was looking for easy assembly and good quality. This is perfect. Not as large as I expected but holds all the books I needed it to. Assembly was easy but one of the shelves was slightly damaged, possibly while we were unpacking it. Doesn’t impact the appearance or the function. Would certainly purchase again if I need more shelves.
This is an extremely well built bookshelf unit. The frame is metal with sides that fold out and the shelves clip in place. Easy peasy…. no real assembly needed other than clipping the shelves in place.
I had a small issue with a shelf that arrived cracked. I suspect someone stepped on it in the factory. I contacted the vendor about the problem along with a picture of the issue. They resolved the problem promptly. I would definitely order from them again.
This was really easy to assemble. So many pieces of furniture are supposedly easy to assemble, but for someone living alone with limited DIY skills, this can be a nightmare. But this was so easy – done in 5 minutes. I wanted a bookcase that is easy to move around and will fit into a small space, and I am using it just for books. Solid and strongly built, it is just what I needed. A great buy.
It was absolutely perfect for what I wag looking for. I need a bookshelf to hold my supplements, workout gear like resistance bands and gloves etc, protein powders, gum bag and more, plus some fitness books. It fits perfectly in the space I needed it to and holds all I wanted it to. It’s small if you’re wanting it for books. I got a different shelf for books. But it’s great for decorations or little projects like mine. I had this put together within 5 minutes and it only took that long because of removing the packaging and battling a 3 month old puppy. I love that it easily collapses and can be moved because it doesn’t weight 120lbs like my other bookcase. I think it’s 35 Ibs.
For the price you pay this shelf is a 4.5 stars. Reason for the 4 stars is the shelf quality and steadiness on carpet floors. Shelves are wrapped with wall paper material to look like wood. My shelf is placed on carpet, not extremely sturdy. If you want to place valuables on this I would suggest a more sturdy option; however, it does sit much better on tile or wood floors. All I did to help is anchor it to my wall with a piece of metal I bent to shape, painted black, and screwed in. All in all I am happy with my purchase, I was on a budget and this shelf does exactly what I need it to do. My only discretion is if you are placing valuables on it.
Exactly what you pay for, slightly lower in height than I first thought, however when books were placed on I realised the number of books it can hold. Put together in 10 mins.
Really good quality book case. Easy to put together and looks just like it does in the pictures
Tired of dealing with tedious flat pack furniture? This is a good looking bookshelf that you can put together in seconds. I love the efficiency.
Product was of great quality, delivered on time, easy to put together. Study and looks great. Would definitely recommend.
Easy top put together and comp[lete in just 5 minutes. Small in size but does the job for me to store my Lorry collection rather than books. 4 shelves which do the job. No problems so far.
Quick and easy to put up
Simply unfold and place shelves o
I compared and decided on this bookcase. I had a space of barely 33 inches. I was SO pleased with this bookcase. 1. It came in very quickly. 2. It was super easy to set up. 3. The metal frame is very sturdy. 4. This is the most impressive feature of all-the shelves are finished in a beautiful wood finish. Some reviews said they looked cheap-they do not. This is a very attractive modern industrial bookcase. I love it, and would definitely recommend it!
The product is good and very easy to erect however one internal box containing a shelf was slightly damage and there was a mark in the shelf. The damage was not seen on the outside of the main box so the damaged product was packed that way. Once the shelf was fitted the mark was behind a frame so not visible

Like a lot of people I didn’t pay much attention to the dimensions but that is my only minor quibble. It is easy to put together in 5 minutes and is extremely solid. Ideal for the space I was looking to put it in and bought this along with matching desk. Highly recommended.
This is by far the best bookcase I have ever bought and put together ,it’s literally took about 5 minutes, in fact it took longer to get out of the packaging, it looks absolutely fab too
This is a great product, it is possibly the easiest piece of furniture I have ever put together and it suits the purpose for which I bought it. It is fairly tall with plenty space between each shelf and is very portable – which was the main selling point for me. Worth noting from the product description that the shelves are not made from real wood but rather have a wood effect. The frame is also ‘iron coated’. This is noticable and means the product has less of a premium feel but it looks good nonetheless and actually adds to its portability/lightness.
Great book shelve. I have a lot of large heavy books and hold them perfectly.
Nice and sturdy, easy set up, not very bulky, perfect for small spaces
I like this product. If I could make changes I would make the shelves easier to snap on or make them a hinge type that just fold down. The shelves have a faux wood look, it looks like faux woodgrain contact paper, but they are sturdy. I prefer bookshelves that fold/unfold without being taken apart that are sturdy, that’s why this product appealed to me. If you added more shelves to this product, that would be terrific! I use my bookshelf to store wide (2-3 inches in width) three ring binders and they fit very well. I have folding wooden bookshelves that hang over the shelf.
exactly what I was looking for. quality is better than expected and it looks amazing.
A little wobbly which is why it has four rather than five stars. Easy to put up and looks good, I am very happy with it.
I love this shelf! It was the perfect size for all my books and didn’t take up a lot of space! It was SOOOOO easy to put together! I’m also usually very picky about stuff trying to look like wood because I usually want real wood but the shelf’s don’t look bad at all! As you can see in the picture I also have the matching desk. The metal was in good shape too and didn’t feel cheap at all! And both are very sturdy! If you need small office furniture I would definitely recommend this!
Price was good and love the portability of it. I use it for craft fairs to display my products and it folds up and sets up so easily. The only complaint is that the wooden shelves are like a vinyl sticker and have peeled off in two corners, but it is towards the back so it is okay with me.
Great product. Looks great in my living room. Really easy to assemble.
Couldn’t be more happy! It is great looking, a cool mix of materials, and is holding everything perfectly.
It is solid, made of quality materials, well manufactured, and, because of it’s clever design, only takes moments to put together.
Seriously, this is better than expected and well, well worth the price.
We are now looking through their other products for what is next to buy from them we are so pleased.
(Sorry– no matter how I position photos they always come out sideways on Amazon)
We bought two of these shelving units to go into our porch as the units are relatively petite. They are very sturdy and well made and look good.
Purchased two of these for a basement music studio to hold books, manuals, and media.. It also neatly holds a QSC K-8 monitor on the third shelf without difficulty.
PRO: Well packaged, very easy to assemble (place shelves), very nice aesthetics, very sturdy, and the collapsible feature is wonderful should it ever need to be moved or stored.
CON: Not really a negative as you get what you pay for, but the shelve’s wood veneer is simple wood contact paper. With that being said, the seams could/should be better sealed. As a consolation to this negative, the seams are not visible as they are on the underside of the shelf.
WISH: I would’ve gladly paid much more for this shelf had it offered a finished “cut” wood shelf option.
I’m a broke teacher, straight out of school. My other teachers probably know…I have a LOT of books. I’m tired of buying bookshelves that break when you try to move them, so I wanted to try something that would last. I thought $87 was WAAAAAY too much for a bookshelf, especially one that was a little more than half as tall as the cheap ones from Walmart or Target. (And twice the price!)
I couldn’t find anything else foldable and cheaper that had consistently good reviews, so I sadly bought this.
It’s worth it. It light, cute, easy to assemble, and SUPER easy to disassemble and fold up–you just pop off the shelves from the metal shelf brackets, no damage done! It has plenty of space for my books! In another paycheck or two, I will probably be buying another one!
Also, customer service sent me an email and said they were available 7 days a week if I needed anything. Awesome.
Absolutely love it – incredibly easy to put together, stylish, and perfect for what we need – acting as a bookshelf, photo frame stand etc …
Not the same quality as description and in time and does what it says on the tin.
I really like the bookcase.
It is small and doesn’t crowd the room.
I did need quite some strength to fasten the tiers in place
Sturdy item that looks good and is easy to assemble. Have used as a bookshelf -the shelves have no problems with supporting the weight. Bought one and was impressed enough to buy a second to put next to it.
Easy to assemble, except the clips don’t actually clip. The shelf seems sturdy enough otherwise, but at certain angles you can see that the clips aren’t clipped in. I bought this shelf to put a printer and binders/books for school. I wasn’t sure if there would be enough height between the shelves but the heigh is perfect for binders and books. It also matches the desk I bought at Aldi’s perfectly; I wasn’t looking to spend this much originally on a shelf, but I didn’t have to build it and it matches the desk I bought. Not the nicest looking piece of furniture but it works well and looks pretty nice for my college apartment.
Lovely, put it together in under a minute.
Looks great.

For me, this is just about perfect. Loses a star, we’ll cover that later. Starting with the good bits.
It’s very sturdy, and arrived very well packaged. Even though it’d clearly been banged up in transit the bookcase itself was completely unharmed, they really thought through how to protect it while being shipped. It appears to be made of real metal, and something at least close to wood. It’s pretty heavy, but not too terribly so. For me the size was perfect for the use I had in mind, just keep in mind this is not going to be a floor-to-ceiling bookcase.
Now for the less great stuff, and these are somewhat minor. The snaps that secure the front of each shelf to the metal braces are VERY hard to secure. I put my over 200 pound weight into it and still couldn’t get the top shelf to click into place. Luckily it was easier to just step on the bottom shelves until they clicked. There’s really no reason these should be so difficult to snap into place, but on the other hand, if you’ve got most of them clamped on the only real concern is that the shelves aren’t level and they’re only off by half an inch. So that’s fine, I can live with it.
Secondly, and this isn’t at all the product’s fault, but it takes a LONG time for these items to arrive. I purchased mine through Prime with 3 day shipping. It shipped on Wednesday, and was delivered the following Tuesday, with two mechanical delays on the part of UPS along the way. I guess it’s big enough that they need special equipment to move it? Anyway, just plan ahead. If you’re choosing 3 day shipping, assume it’ll take a week.
Naturally returning this thing would be a nightmare, so do your homework before buying and make sure it’s the size you need.
