Mainstay.. 3-Shelf Bookcase - Wide Bookshelf Storage Wood Furniture, 1 Fixed Shelf 2 Adjustable Shelves Bookcase (White)

This was only purchased because it was supposed to be over 29 inches wide according to the item description, and is labeled as “wide” in the title. Most others on the market seem to be around 25 inches wide. When the item arrived it is only 24.8 inches wide, and even says so on the box. Will be returning and am extremely disappointed.

This is a very good product for the money -- it's just as it appears in the images. The instructions are in good English, clear, and simple. It took me about 30 minutes to assemble the shelves and I wasn't hurrying. There were no problems at all -- the shelves assembled easily. The look good and hold two shelves of hardbound books; but this means that the third shelf is pretty low and on this shelf the books rest on their side. If you had only smaller paperbound books, then you would have full use of all three shelves.The product is packed in a cardboard box with styrofoam sheets. These tend to disintegrate as you remove the shelving. This means that your room will be covered in pellet-sized bits of sytrofoam. I recommend working on a hard surface or outdoors. It took me as long to clean up after the assembly as it did to assemble the shelves. I'm still finding bits of styrofoam on my clothes and in the room where the assembly occurred. Given the range of packing materials available now, this use of styrofoam -- which cannot be recycled -- is not okay. I don't expect Apple-style packaging, but surely the American designers and the Chinese manufacturers could do better. The packaging and clean-up dings this product two stars.

As another reviewer pointed out, the dimensions for the 3 shelf bookcase are wrong.I was also counting on about 29 inches in length, but it's about 24 as stated on the outside of the box.I measured my space carefully and looked for a long time to find one with the right dimensions.This was disappointing. I'm leaving it in the box and returning it.

Was shipped sooner. I have the larger version of this shelf and love it. Easy to put together and perfect for my tv in my room.

This is so easy to put together, even by one elderly person. I have put together countless pieces of boxed furniture over the years but this one has to have the clearest and easiest to follow directions I have ever seen. Good little shelf unit for the den, sturdy, good price and is nicely finished. Extremely happy with this purchase.

Easy to put together my husband did it in no time flat. The back is pretty flimsy though. But the shelves are very sturdy. We use it for my daughters nursery. It holds all her books perfectly. Great addition.

Pretty decent for the money. When I was putting it together I thought it wouldn’t be that sturdy but surprisingly it is and it was very easy to assemble. Overall a very good product. I’m pleased with it.

I bought a smaller Mainstay 2 shelf that was not quite the size I needed for the space I wanted it in so gave it to my roommate and she is happy with it. Then bought this one which is a little larger with 3 shelves. Was very easy to put together. Great for my needs. Very nice and clean looking all white. Really like it and very happy with the purchase. Definitely would buy again if need a shelf.
