5.0 out of 5 stars Little library/Food pantry

b. · June 4, 2025

(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; } We have purchased and assembled two of these. Easy instructions and my 11 year old was able to do it with very little assistance. They were built for "blessing boxes" (food and book shares) at church and the seniors could not believe a kid put them together.

We paired this with a post from the LFL site. It has held up well over the past year. We had a little trouble with the door about six months in but easily fixed. Seems to be waterproof through rain and snow so far. Easy to attach our charter sign also.

This was perfect for our needs to put a Blessing Box outside our church. Good quality. A bit small even though we ordered the largest size. We added the design on the side.

This arrived sooner than expected! It was very easy to assemble and looks great!

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY - DOES NOT LAST

M.R. · May 13, 2025

This little house is not even worth half its price. The wood is cheap, the plastic protecting the glass is a nightmare, but most importantly, this does not last. I primed and exterior painted my library, it has been up for less than two months. The door already broke (see picture). All the metal is also already rusting (despite being painted with exterior paint as well). Now I’m stuck buying another one and starting over less than two months after starting, or trying to repair this cheap crap. 0/10 do not recommend. Spend a bit more for something better.

Pros: Simple to assemble.Cons: Not weatherproof at all.We had to make some changes to get this thing up to snuff for the Pacific NW.1) I replaced all the hardware with non-rusting parts. I'm not sure if the screws/hinges they included would rust easily, but i wasn't going to take any chances, as they appeared very cheap.2) Applied clear caulk to all seams both inside and outside the library.3) Added weatherstripping to the inside of the doorway, and along one door (left side) down the middle.4) I added a sloped lip above the door to extend out and prevent water from running straight down into the seams. The roof overhang is NOT enough to prevent water from entering the door from above, especially in any sort of wind accompanying the rain.5) My wife also lightly sanded, primed, painted (cute woodland creature themed), and sealed with varnish. Not sure if that was necessary, but it sure made it cute.Time will tell if it stands up to the elements, as we are now in our spring/summer here and rain will be minimal for the next 3-4 months. Should it fail, and the books be destroyed, I will post an update.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good library but some issue with assembly.

The good and bad of this library.The bad: the protective film on the acrylic is horrible. When you remove the last edge the entire film disintegrates and you get fibers all over the place. This is the worst film I’ve ever seen and should be avoided at all cost by the manufacturer. Make sure you do this part outside.The side screw holes are over bored so the screws are not tight enough to hold the box together. This is a flaw in the manufacturing. Use longer screws to solve the problem. The roof wasn’t on tight. It was very loose. New screws solved this problem. Do not buy this unit unless you have a way to replace all the screws they ship you for the outside with longer ones. I was fortunate to have the right size screws. Once they are replaced the box is nice and tight. I also suggest gluing it as well.The good: it’s the perfect size. The roof is a nice metal and I hope it will hold up to the UV of the sun. I’ll probably end up painting the metal. The wood is pretty light weight and needs to be painted and sealed with weather protection this is definitely a good first library. Hopefully I’ll get several years out of it.

I had initially ordered a little library that for some reason did not arrive (that one was hand made and looked nice on Bolo - and it's shipping time was a couple of weeks if I recall). This came as a kit, my kids helped place coats of polyurethane clear coat on the wood pieces before we built this (as a gift for their mom). Putting this together was easy, and it's stood up to a winter well (keeps stuff inside dry). It did not come with a post and did not have anywhere to screw in the post, so we had to make some modifications to the base to get it installed. Good value for money.
