Assembly a bit complicatedFirst of all, great customer service from Sauder! The instructions were missing from our box. I called, got a very courteous rep, who immediately emailed the instructions (the online request feature didn’t work for this model).My hubby and I are pretty experienced furniture assemblers, but this was not for punks, lol! Next time we’d watch the video first instead of just relying on the written instructions. This unit has a bazillion hardware and wood pieces.Also (our bad), we should have inventoried first. We were missing a wood piece that was needed for the 2nd drawer. But, I ordered the missing piece online from Sauder (no cost) and we’re good.It’s not as sturdy as it should be for the price, but it does come with anchoring hardware to anchor it to the wall. And you’ll want to WD-40 the drawer pulls. But it looks nice and was what we needed for books and file storage.

Sturdy, solid when assembledThis bookshelf/file cabinet is very solid after assembling; I did use wood glue when applicable in addition to provided hardware. Much higher quality than other DIY furniture I’ve put together. Wood was in very good shape, pilot holes were properly drilled and instructions were in (actual) english and well written. The size is perfect for the a narrow space I had available. Standard file folders fit sideways (perpendicular to drawer front), legal fit lengthways, which is nice flexibility for a file cabinet of this size. Drawers are solid, slide well and close completely. I did cut off the bottom of the legs prior to assembling. I thought it would help stability and I didn’t think they would add anything to my situation. They cut perfectly, solid wood for that piece. I would rather not have one more place for dust to collect, and am happy I made this change. I wasn’t sure what I would get after reading other reviews, but this is exactly what I was looking for.

Assembly will take a very long timeThis is a project to assemble… like a full day project — EVERY component has to be assembled by the buyer (drawer tracks, drawers).Had some issues with a few parts during assembly (some pieces did not fit flush or tighten to other piece as it should), but the final product looks great and seems reasonably sturdy (see weight limits) for office supplies.**Careful during assembly. Particle board finish is easily damaged from over-tightening screws, etc.

Best shelf everDoesn’t take up lots of space and helps everything we need. We bought two and spaced apart to put a small table in between. Hold our files and allows book storage. Not tall shelves so average to small sized books fit best. I’m happy with this purchase.

Not worth it.It’s a cute piece but the quality is so bad. It took forever to assemble (and I’m very handy and great at reading instructions) but so many of the parts broke while putting it together. It’s a cute piece once it’s done, but it’s wobbly, because a lot of the pieces just don’t fit right. I wish I bought something else.

Absolutely love it!Ok first I would like to mention that the drawers are VERY deep and sturdy enough to hold quite a bit of weight, which is great for me as an artist! I have put lots of binders and sketchbooks in them and still have plenty of space for hanging files in the top drawer. The shelves perfectly fit my D&D books snuggly and they are tall enough that I feel comfortable burning my incense and short candles on them. It says in the instructions not to put anything on the top shelf but it’s certainly sturdy enough too provided it’s nothing too heavy. It looks great next to my desk! Definitely a good purchase even if it was a bit over my budget!

Not worth itThis was one of three pieces I bought for my home office and the only one that came with all of the parts needed for assembly. Would have been better if the bottom of the drawers allowed one to use for storing things and not just to file, bottom is too flimsy. Overall, unhappy with purchase.

Very happy with it.I got a little scared to order when I heard some of the negative reviews, like “it collapsed into itself,“ but I’m glad I let common sense take over. Obviously theirs wasn’t assembled properly. (*Hint* Make sure the Cam Screws are connecting properly with the Hidden Cam. Also, might want to put a dab of wood glue on the ends of the wood dowels to make them extra secure). It takes a bit of time, like you’d expect, but directions are easy to follow. No problems with packing or shipping, so no damages whatsoever.It looks nice, works for my needs, nice and solid, so no worries… order away!

Overpriced and underwhelmingI rarely write reviews, but I had to take a moment to give you my honest opinion because anyone looking to buy this deserves to know the truth.This product is CHEAP. Not at all worth $200. They clearly cut corners to make an extra buck. It took me at least 3 hours to put together, granted I was working alone. The backing is literally cardboard covered with laminate. I mean LITERALLY. It is not sturdy when assembled. (Rocks side to side, and is not stable). I don’t expect this piece to last. I am considering sending it back, but it will take another few hours to disassemble. It may be worth getting the $200 back and just shrug my shoulders about the time and let out a deep sigh of disappointment. I would advise anyone interested to not waste their time or money. This product will have a short life if you decide to buy it.On the plus side, its a good size, some of the wood is decent looking, and the drawers are okay. Otherwise this is way overpriced for what it is. This should cost $80-100, maximum. And I guarantee you that Sauder would still make a good profit off of that price.

Great sturdy bookcaseThis bookcase is great! Love the color and despite what a lot of other reviews say it is actually quite sturdy. It was a bit time consuming building it, but if you just take your time and follow the instructions it is actually a very nice piece of furniture. It was packaged well and arrived much earlier than expected.
