Bookcase
We had one bookcase that we purchased a few years ago and needed a second one and Staples had it. We are thrilled with it. I had it delivered and it was easy to put together. It looks great in our home office and now I have room to add more books.

Poor Quality
Was made poorly and would not sit even due to the way it was made. So we're in the process of ordering something different and better quality.

Maple Cross Bookcase
Easy to put together with clear and simply instructions. Sturdy and comes with wall anchors if needed. Looks great! My only issue is that there are not continuous peg holes for shelves the entire length of the bookcase. I have several oversized photo albums scrapbooks that will only fit on a single shelf if I want to keep all four shelves.

Somerset shelves
The shelves look great and match the desk I previously owned ....the only thing I was unhappy with is when they where delivered I wasn't home and who delivered them left them standing up leaning against a small wood column at my house.... Lucky they didn't fall over
Otherwise the shelves are great

Great Looking Bookcase
Purchase this book case with matching desk. Light wood looks great. Solid construction. Would recommend both pieces of office furniture.

Excellent Product
I have 4 of these units, the credenza, and the 60" desk with hutch. All have performed wonderfully. I use 2 of the shelving units as shelving, and 2 I have removed the hutch from the desk with is in my kitchen area, and replaced it with 2 of the shelving units minus the feet. I has given me a tremendous amount of additional display and storage in my kitchen.

Bush Somerset Bookcase - Good for price.
The bookshelf was easy to assemble. A good value for a low/mid range quality product.

good matching (desk) bookshelf
Holding books in our home office. Matches the desk and hutch nicely. Flimsy cardboard backing doesn't help make it more sturdy - only for looks. Have to be careful not to push books back into it or it may rip or come off.

We have three in our office now.
Limited office space and this bookcase makes a world of difference. No more files and binders on the floor.
However, one came missing a couple of shelf supports. Ordered them and am still waiting for them.

Love, love, love it!!
I bought the entire office set (71" desk, hutch, lateral file, and book case), and I am extremely happy with call pieces (I will leave this same review on each one). Wow, I read a couple negative reviews about these pieces, and all I can say is if you want super easy to put together, solid wood, then you're barking up the wrong tree. These are veneered particle board, b...

Sturdy, Nice Look
Assembly directions could have been more detailed, especially for legs, they were difficult to install. The legs should be wood to complement the bookcase, they are cheesy.

Nice piece of furniture
I bought this piece to put in my office. My mom helped me put it together. It didn't take us very long at all and the instructions were easy to follow.
