I purchased two of these. While they look pretty good if you fill the shelves with books and pictures so you can't see Cardboard back, don't try to move them too often, flimsy, nails fall out, very frustrating. It needs reinforceing for stability.

bought this & matching door unit for entertainment center. assembled both in 7 hours. came out nice! love assembling Sauder products for my home. please label, number or letter all pieces of product for ease of assembly, especially for beginners; also improve clarity of visual instructions i.e. hole and screw locations.

I weep for anyone complaining the manual was confusing: I didn't even need one to assemble the library properly. Mind you, my parents bought it over 20 years ago and it spent nearly 7 years in storage. I just recently was given it and the one with doors and assembled them back. Everything went smoothly - all the screws are held firmly. What I had to do is to buy new brackets and screws - but turns out the simple ones you can buy in any hardware store are good. Combined with certain Swedish company's LED strips, the library looks very nice. The only complaint I have: the laminate is very prone to damage - even a single grain of sand can do nasty damage. Fortunately this came with a marker to mask out the scratch marks (still works after 20 years).

The manufacturer is also very precise and once assembled, it looks no difference than a solid wood shelf.

This is probably the most poorly illustrated and information book I have ever tried to read. I have put quite a few of these bookcases together (not Sauder) and never had the "head-scratching" issues that I had with this particular model. Illustrations are very poor and the step by step directions are vague and leave you guessing. Working with particle board is sensitive enough without making a mistake due to uncertain assembly directions or unclear markings on the pieces.

The parts quality is poor; the wood splits when you screw into it (especially the shelf mouldings which looks like it's actually cardboard); the pieces are not sized to fit (bottom mouldings too short); it really is just a poorly made product.

hard to assembly

I have over twenty pieces of assemble yourself furniture, all of which I have assembled myself or with a friend. Most of them are Sauder and over 15 years old. Sauder has greatly lessened their quality control since I purchased my pieces. The instructions for this bookcase were horrible. No longer does it show by shading which side faces in or out. Several pieces were not even identified by number or letter. No matter how we adjusted the screws and pieces there were still several places that did not meet up perfectly, therefore showing the lighter finish. We had to use the color stain included to even up the finish. Even though I have been satisfied in the past with my Sauder purchases, I doubt I will ever buy another piece of furniture from them.

First all parts should be labeled, make it consumer friendly. I didn't realize products are built top-down, like this product, which I found weird, causing me to believe shelving parts were drilled wrong. The written directions need to be reviewed and reviewed again to add more information for the consumer. I would have liked better pictures for the more detailed portions of the book shelf. The hidden connectors are awkward. Not sturdy,anchor is a must, I will not buy Sauder products again.
