Really happy with these shelves. I wanted something to store records and the height of these shelves was just barely perfect! Overall good quality piece, however assembly took a while and the packaging left static clinging styrofoam beads all over my house that were impossible to clean up. Overall happy with my purchase.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this etagere. Its a solid, substantial piece of furniture and looks a lot more expensive than it is. The manufacturer put a lot of thought into the assembly. It was super easy to put together. One thing to note there are adjustable feet on the bottom of the legs to help you level the etagere and it really makes a difference! I definitely will be purchasing more furniture from George Oliver. (Currently trying to justify purchasing the larger one for my bedroom!)

My husband took a bit of time to built it but he is also very slow lol We love this etagere it is exactly what we need and our Canon printer fits right in!! It also goes perfectly with the color of our desk! The file cabinet drawer at the bottom is a bit too small to store files but we will just use it for other things! You might notice that we changed the handle by putting two knobs instead!

After 20 years of a heavy cherry office suite, I was looking to replace the "stodgy" Vibe with a light, stylie, mid-century one. This desk fits perfectly. I love the smaller footprint and the style. Can't say enough about the storage compartment overhead - roomy and convenient! Plenty of desk surface to accommodate two laptops at the same time - GREAT!! for multi-tasking! Delivery was smooth and assembly pretty easy too. One hiccup - there was a gouge on the edge of the desk but I called customer service right away and they made good on the damage. No worries! I love, love, love this desk!!! You need this!

Great piece of furniture! Looks great in my living room and holds both my record player and all the vinyl we have. Only negative is that it was exceptionally difficult to assemble - and Ive assembled a lot of things! No matter what I did, I could not make the bottom drawer slide all the way out, which is slightly disappointing, but overall its a nice piece.

This is a gorgeous piece. Even better quality than I expected. Someone mentioned the color looking more orange in person but I find the picture to be very accurate (and that was also the tone I was after). Only thing is there’s a very strong smell from the wood finishing that is really overpowering, even after being set up for a couple weeks now. But still worth it.

Beautiful sturdy desk and shelves. I assembled by myself in about ~2.5 hours. The instructions were easy to follow along with and all pieces fit together perfectly. There's a locking system for the pieces that fit together, and at times it was challenging to get it to close. I ended up using a hammer to completely close the clips and that worked well. Highly recommend!

Only ding was a tiny nick on the bottom of the cabinet, but besides that everything was packaged well. It's a gorgeous desk and very sturdy. The only issue that I'm having is the cabinets shake/rattle when I do anything on the desk- maybe that is because I haven't strapped it to the wall just yet. Will figure out. Great desk.

I loved the look of this piece of furniture. It didn't come with all the hardware to put it together and my husband had to improvise. The draw is more for show and doesnt seem sturdy it pushes in past where its supposed to and doesnt open easy as the draw looks a little crooked due to slight bend in wood. The shelving itself looks nice though.

I was so excited for these and so disappointed when they arrived. These shelves are made of the cheapest quality material. I ordered two in white which came with a ridiculous amount of packing material. Yet despite the excess material they still arrived already cracked on the side. I could overlook the crack but the shelves are poorly painted. Several areas show wood color through the white or are missing paint all together. For one shelf the handle was only pre-drilled on one side the other side was sealed shut. I was able to get the screw in slightly so it hangs on barely. Other than that assembly wasn't too bad...until you get to the final step of adding the drawer which should be easy but was a NIGHTMARE to put in. You want to test your relationship? But this and try to add the drawer together if you survive assembly you are in it for the long haul. You have to practically force it in and the drawers barely want to open now. I would return them entirely if I hadn't already throw away the packaging. If these were $100 I wouldn't complain but for the almost $800 I spent for two of them I expected better quality. Save your money and buy something better quality elsewhere. Shoddy workmanship.

ETA in addition to defective assembly hardware, one of the side rails was broken (missed this while I was struggling with the drawer). this is GARBAGE. Deeply regret this purchase. The hardware used to join the drawer cabinet frame is quite possibly one of the most poorly designed assembly features Ive ever encountered. Ive put together my fair share of flat pack furniture and have never encountered something so frustrating on a piece so (relatively) expensive. Such a shame because it is otherwise a solid attractive piece (I previously purchased a coordinating desk and was sufficiently impressed that I ordered this bookshelf.) The problem is essentially a cam bolt that instead of using a screwdriver, uses a metal latch to lock the bolts. The idea is good, in its best version assembly would be quick and easy, no tools needed. Unfortunately, this feature is so poorly designed, or lacking the necessary quality control, that the bolts are impossible to lock. The defect makes the piece virtually unusable as intended. The hardware is integrated so cant be swapped out without damaging the pieces, and it cant be bypassed (with screws or nails) because the drawer wont slide if the levers arent engaged (they stick out and catch on the drawer) I wrestled with it for hours, trying to pry the levers up and whacking them with a hammer (which presents its own problems) I was able to get most, but not all, the bolts to engage this way and finally gave up. Basically the drawer is useless. Very disappointed. The piece seems otherwise quality construction, solid wood , heavy not flimsy and delivery was fast and everything arrived intact (albeit with lots of styrofoam packaging , which did the trick keeping everything in good condition for shipping but is somewhat of a disposal issue). Ive generally been satisfied with my Wayfair purchases but this was a terrible mistake. I hope I can recoup some of my loss.
