5.0 out of 5 stars A value bargain if your patient

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Due to the price of these shelves I wasn't very optimistic, But compared to other smaller products but higher prices I wanted to take a chance- and I'm glad I did.I was pleasantly surprised after putting these things together- that being said if you have the patience to put these together correctly you'll also be pleasantly surprised. PATIENCE IS KEY. I remember noticing the measurements in the listing, and they seemed generous to my needs. Upon completion of assembly I noticed these were larger than I was hoping for.The instructions are informative enough and not very difficult to understand.Also note that these aren't the strongest, nor sturdiest shells in the business- But for their price tag It's a pretty good deal. One thing to remember when putting these together is DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN- this isn't real wood obviously, It's pressed wood material and it won't tolerate too much stress of over tightening. Take it easy putting these things together and both you and your wallet will be happy.Again I don't suggest these being used for very heavy items. I personally got them for my Funko Pop collection and I'm very pleased about the end result as shown in the photos I provided. The Funko Pop cases fit perfectly and it seems I have a lot more room now for additional Funko pops- that's a perk I'm very happy about lol.As shown I purchased three shelf units that fit perfectly into the space I intended.I'm addition I opted not to use the fake backboard, it would have made the case stronger but I just didn't care for it too much. Personally I think it cheapened the look. But that's just me.This is one of my many better buys. Thanks again Bolo. 👍

1.0 out of 5 stars I ordered 2 boxes and both boxes' product arrived looking already used!

Well it is a bookshelf, but not a very good one! I ordered two shelves and was only able to put together one bookshelf because so many of the pieces of "wood" came with huge scratches or dents on them. There were even two pieces I just couldn't even use cause they were so damaged, so I mix and matched between the two boxes of product to create 1 'still not great' shelf. I was planning to return both of them, but I waited too long to put them together thinking it would be fine, and missed the Return by Date, so I decided to just make 1 shelf, and I have the broken/ crappy parts still sitting in the other box and I'll probs throw it out. Also the back board that you nail into the back of the shelf is soooooooo incredibly flimsy its RIDICULOUS!! The best way to describe it is super thin cardboard. But its so thin or such bad quality that even as I was unfolding the back part to lay down on the shelf to nail it in, the seems of the cardboard started to tare right down the seems! Because the back cardboard tared at the seems when I was putting together the (1st/only) shelf, and I was stealing parts from the second shelves box, I was extra careful when I was handling the cardboard from the second shelf and that one also still tared down the seems. Not to mention that that boxes' pieces were so bad and obviously used before, that those cardboard pieces looked extremely scratched up and worn, so I ended up just using the 1st boxes cardboard, and I ducted taped the seems just so I could build the 1 shelf. Do not recommend buying this brand again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid

With all the negative reviews I was worried it was going to fall apart. I don’t know what these people had problems with but both my shelves are solid. I put them together as it stated. You do have to be careful not to get the wrong side of the board facing the wrong way. With me, I glued all my pieces together as I went along making it more solid. On top I did not use nails to put my backing on. I used a staple gun to make sure no nails went in wrong. Both shelves are exactly what I’m needed to put my statues on and shelves for my bedroom. If you want a heavy shelf then buy real wood these are simple particle board and are exactly what as described. They did exactly what I bought them for with no problems or dents or scratches. I got the black it looks nice in my room with all my other furniture I’ve bought off Bolo

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Bookshelves

A.H. · May 9, 2025

These are wonderful shelves I love them a lot we bought them to put up more bookshelves for books and they are definitely lookin nice and doing their job, my husband does tell me that they weren't easy to build because the instructions weren't as clear as they should be, but that's ... 50% of furniture now a days, so we're used to that. 4

1.0 out of 5 stars Super flimsy not worth your time or money

A.C. · August 2, 2024

I've never written a review before, but I felt the need to for this.First, I was impressed. It was heavy, and the materials looked and felt sturdy.I started building it, and everything was fine. I had the frame built and went to put the back panel on. This is where everything started to go downhill.I don't know what the back panel is made of, but it is trash. It was folded to fit in the box, and as I started to unfold it, a third of the panel started to rip along the fold. At first, I thought a little rip was manageable.But no, it got worse. The rip extended all the way down. When I tried to get the other half on, it also started to rip along the folds. I gave up on the back panel, which was disappointing because I know they help stabilize the bookcase. However, to be honest, there was no way that paper-thin panel was going to stabilize anything.So, I flipped it on its side as instructed. Even then, I noticed the top half was already super flimsy. When I stood it up, the whole top half just tilted to the side. It is unusable.Thankfully, the bottom half was more stable, so I was able to salvage that part and get at least half of the bookcase I ordered.I’m not sure if I built it wrong or if I received defective pieces, but overall, it was a bad experience.

Um pouco desiludido

OK kit.

Easy enough to assemble. Shelves bowing after a couple of years but it's cheapo and does the job. These things can always be reinforced if needed.

Mala calidad

G.C. · July 22, 2024

La madera de detrás es poco más que un cartón. Al quitar una pegatina se va quitado parte del color de la madera

Qualité nul

v.c. · December 27, 2024

Le fond du meuble est en papier carton impossible de le poser il ce déchire à chaque mouvement, mesure parfait mais à revoir le prix trop cher pour ça 🤬🤬🤬

Very Flimsy!!

This is probably the flimsiest bit of furniture that I have ever bought. Although I am retired, I am a carpenter by trade so I know how to put this type of product together. The biggest problem is that the backing board that would normally hold the unit square is quite literally wafer thin cardboard. The actual box that the unit comes in is made of cardboard 10 x thicker! Although it comes folded in three, the "board" easily falls into three parts! Whilst I wasn't expecting too much for the price, I didn't realise just how bad/flimsy this would be. Would have given no stars if I could.
