This bookcase is so well built and sturdy! It looks great! Honestly it fees bigger then I anticipated so it will have to be moved from where I originally thought I would place it. Was fairly easy to put together and the instructions were very detailed! I would recommend!

I got this to replace a shelf that didn’t have much storage. This shelf provides a lot more storage for all my small living room Knick knacks. I like the bottom drawers to put board games in so they are not on display. Easy to assemble with one person.

The desktop and drawers of the desk came partially built. There were only five metal pieces to built the legs so assembly was very easy. The desk came with scratches on the top laminate, as well as scrapes on the corners which were covered up with a marker. It would've been 5 stars if it wasn't damaged. Bummer.

The biggest comment is be prepared for the assembly! This beast took me two days to assemble, as the directions weren’t very clear and concise. But once up, it looks great! The doors ended up just a tad off, but work well with the magnet clips. The shelves are perfect height for me to flex in both larger or smaller items as the seasons change. The storage space below is excellent to hide away books and even my printer! Love the overall look of the grayish undertones in the wood and this piece is much needed added bonus space to my office!

The wood finish is a greybrown. It is super modern and chic. The quality of the wood is good. The desk does not wobble. The drawers came already assembled however the screws were put in incorrectly which causes the wood to split inside one of the drawers. Besides this, it is a great quality desk. Can even be used in a foyer area.

Nice desk. Very sturdy. Wood looks nice and desk looks like it will last a while. Drawers are hard to open since there aren’t any pulls on them. The actual desk part is already put together when you receive it in the box. You only have to put the black pieces together. Was fairly easily. Only problem was under the desk did not line up correctly and I was not able to screw all the screws in. Two of them are not screwed in. It still seems ok even though those two are not done.

I thought I already review this. I would given this a 5 out of 5 Stars but it was a pain to put together. We never could get the door right as you can see in my last photo. Other than that, I LOVE THIS PIECE! Its sturdy. Well made. Looks great!! We have 12ft ceilings and this bookcaseshelving unit is the PERFECT height. The color is very neutral. I think it will go with anything. Definitely recommend.

I like this desk very much, it’s perfect in the breakfast area off of the kitchen. Assembly was ridiculously easy, attaching the frame. The one issue I have is the drawers-happy to have them versus just a writing surface but they are very hard to open. There’s no little divot or finger pull so you have to just fuss with the underside until it cooperates and opens up. It came well packed but did have a noticeable scratch on the front of one of the drawers.

This desk is huge. When purchased it appeared to be a bit grey but when arrived it said it was brown. It is very big and heavy. Would have loved if it was grey to match my other furniture. But will work it out!

This is a nice bookcase. It’s very heavy. It looks good assembled, but there were some issues with the manufacturing. Two of the welded shelf supports were bent. We were able to get them in place, but I can only hope we didn’t weaken the joint when we did. In other places the holes didn’t match up. We were able to work around everything by using our own screws and wood glue, but we shouldn’t have to.

This is a very nice looking bookshelf once it's assembled. However our package was beat up in transit,, and the Houchens packaging design is awful. Shelves are packed between the metal connectors sticking out of the frame, resulting in gouged shelves and bent metal connectors. We were able to bend the connectors back into place so the frame could be assembled. And we oriented the gouged pieces so the worst of the damage isn't readily apparent. But it's disappointing to have a brand new piece of furniture that's already so bunged up.

We purchased two of these to make a large bookcase for our office. The final product looks good, but one of the shelves arrived damaged due to packaging flaw (pic attached). The cabinet doors have no handles and are not easy to open they are also misaligned. It took my husband 8 hours to assemble both by himself. For particle board, its a little pricey but it accomplishes our goal.

I like the style, but both of the bookcases I ordered arrived damaged. The manufacturer is sending replacement pieces, but still I've got to wait for those. Boxes were in good shape so it wasn't a shipping problem. Plus some of the screws were not actually long enough to grab hold. So I had to find some slightly longer screws that would work. In other places the holes weren't lined up exactly (the door hinges) so you need to put a little more effort in to the install.
