VASAGLE Bookcase, Shelving Unit with 6 Shelves, Bookshelf, Steel Structure, for Living Room, Hallway, Office, Industrial Style, Rustic Brown and Black LLS113B01

Exactly as described
I bought this shelf because I finally wanted to go away from the white IKEA pragmatism shelfs. Last year I bought a desk for my home office in this industrial style and wanted to swoop my IKEA shelfs with them as well because that design is so pleasing for the eye. Also, I recently discovered that I have an old wooden floor underneath my old carpet so I throw that carpet away and was excited about that vintage look.
The shelf came in one solid package. I opened it and found a good instruction manual, a screw driver with handle and a hex screwdriver. I started to ensemble the pieces which is not much of a deal. Only when you apply the two back pieces you have to make your own hole for the screws. But that was easy peasy.

To give you an impression I would like to compare with Ikea. The Billy shelf from IKEA allows you do adjust any hight. Also it has side walls and nothing can fall out. With this shelf you should be aware that you do not have any wall or barrier at the sides. If you have small books they would fall down easily. You have to use boxes at each side or bigger books or bookends. I had started already with the storage boxes which you can get here on Amazon in every thinkable shape and colour. So that was no big deal for me. I can highly recommend this shelf. And I am very very happy with my purchase.
