Honestly, I regret purchasing this bookcase from this particular manufacturer. After reading positive reviews about open box items I purchased two of these open box bookcases. The first was literal garbage, the open box was concealed inside another box to hide how dirty and damaged it was. It was filthy and full of holes and tears, the boards were all jumbledscuffedbrokenchipped beyond recognition and I actually found out later it was missing the 2 main boards needed to put it together, as well as absolutely no hardware included to assemble. Wayfair tried to offer me 20 off to “go to ace hardware and get what was needed to assemble the bookcase”. I told them absolutely not it was literal garbage like I have a bunch of random broken boards I need to throw away, and they ultimately refunded me for one bookcase.
Now, the second bookcase is why this gets two stars. As you can see from the pictures it still had a pretty major crack even in the “good box” and two of the boards I had to clamp overnight with wood glue to fix trim that broke off during shipping. Packaging was not mindful at all and I don’t see how they expect the product to get where it’s going without damage. The second box did include hardware so I was able to assemble the bookcase.
Ultimately, there are way too many companies selling bookcases on Wayfair to waste your time or money with this one.
