Tribesigns Tall Bookcase and Bookshelf, 70.8” Large Bookcases Organizer with 5-Tier Storage Shelves, Heavy Duty Free-Standing Library Bookshelf Shelving Unit for Living Room, Bedroom, Office (White)

The box arrived on time and was complete with all parts and hardware. They were all well-marked and were adequately packed using styrofoam. No parts were damaged in shipment. The 68 lb. box was pretty heavy for this 73 year old guy to lug into the house. After looking through the 17-page instruction pamphlet (9 pages both sides) I decided I would build it in sections on the dining room floor and then haul them up to a very cluttered den for final construction. This bookcase was built in China, so I didn't expect easily explained instructions. I was right about that, as there were few written words, just drawings. Thankfully, the numerous clearly done illustrations were enough to easily walk me through the build. It took about 1 1/2 hours, at a very relaxed pace, to put the bookcase together. All went smoothly with no serious issues.Because I was moving the case sections in parts to my upstairs den I decided to change the order of how I did the build. It was so straight-forward I could easily do that. Transport was easy in pieces. When it was together I was pleasantly surprised the completed bookcase was sturdy, as many other reviewers said, and that it was reasonably attractive for a utilitarian furniture piece. Let's be clear, this bookshelf is nice but it's not high grade furniture, so it's probably something you wouldn't want to have in your living room. For furniture you have to build this Tribesigns bookcase, IMHO, is way better than average. They use a screw-in pin and cam method in construction, so I don't know how sturdy it will be long term. If any pin and cam loosens a bit, I don't see why I can't tighten it up with a few twists of a screwdriver. Another nice feature is individual pieces of wood screwed in the back of every shelf tier using the help of 20 small plastic push-in holders. These, when installed, tighten up construction a bit. The metal base the case shelves mount to are strong, nice looking and easy to clean under.Am I happy with this bookcase? Oh yes! Having another 5–31" long bookshelves that have 11.81" clearance is a big plus. The depth of each shelf goes back a healthy 11 1/4". Lots of room!. Even without securing the bookcase to the wall it stands tall and steady. Impressive. I won't gamble and will use a 3/4" x 3"x 24" board screwed to wall studs to be the base the bookcase will be fixed to. The hardware Tribesigns provides for this might work, but with my method I know it will be rock-solid secure, albeit aesthetically less appealing. I started to load the bookcase, and it's clear it will hold an enormous number of books and quite a few plastic storage containers (for lightbulbs, batteries, printer ink, pens, markers ..... etc.). They would go on the top shelf and case top. Is this bookcase worth the money? I initially thought the price was high at $159 but seeing how big and sturdy it is, how much heavy use it will get, and how much better my stuff will be organized has me rethinking its price. Size, sturdiness, looks and ease of construction were the primary reasons I bought this Tribesigns bookcase.

I have bought this item 3 times now because it is such good quality for the price, especially if you can get it on sale. It is very sturdy since the back is made of the same wood material as the sides and shelves instead of the cheap paper board that is usually on bookshelves I find for cheap on here.I was able to put it together on my own all times. The instructions are fairly easy if you've built this type of furniture that uses screws and cam lock nuts. The only difficult part by yourself is turning it over after you are done. You build it with the feet at the top, so it is quite a heavy and tall bookshelf to flip safely alone.I had to look on the company website to find the shelf height of 11.8 inches since it isn't listed on this product.

This shelf is amazing! It was very easy to build. I did it by myself for an hour. It’s sturdy, it looks nice, it’s a little heavy but not too heavy. It’s pretty tall and I can fit a lot on the shelves. I ordered the black shelf and I will be ordering another one!

It's a lovely unit. It's solid and sturdy, and the shelves are very solidly mounted in the construction rather than just sitting on pegs like some book cases. The assembly instructions were clear and I built it without any difficulty. It holds more than you might expect and I've gotten quite a few compliments on it. I don't know yet how the shelves will age after holding particularly heavy textbooks longterm; because the shelves aren't removable once the unit is assembled, you can't just flip them over if they start to bow. Still, at this price point, it's not the end of the world if I need to replace it in a few years. I will be buying another one for elsewhere in my house. I'm taking off one star simply because there are no clear instructions for attaching which LED strip to which shelf-- the access cords on the back of the unit are all different lengths, so you can't just use any strip with any shelf, but it's not clear which one goes where, and I had to play around with it in a couple of different configurations to make them all fit well. It would be great if the manufacturer could find a way to make that easier by numbering them somehow and then noting locations in the instructions. Weirdly, the master cord coming out of the back of the bookshelf isn't very long--maybe only 2.5-3 feet--so I had to use an extension cord to reach a nearby outlet. These are minor complaints, however, and it won't stop me ordering again. The iPhone app for controlling the color and intensity of the lights works easily and intuitively. It is a great purchase.

Extremely disappointed with this bookshelf. The pictures show a nice, warm LED lighting that looks perfect for a cozy setting, but in reality, the lights look like something you'd find in a college dorm room. The 'warm white' setting has an obvious blue tint, and the actual 'white' setting is even worse—completely blue! This is absolutely not what was advertised. I feel misled by the photos, and the overall aesthetic is ruined. False advertising at its finest. Avoid this product if you're expecting soft, warm lighting. The pictures attached are a comparison between white and warm white.

I loved every second of building this shelf. Extremely easy and fun build, simple directions, and the quality and sturdiness is amazing. The shelves don’t bend and the holes were even and aligned.Take my advice however: in the photos the LED’s are on the far back upper side of the shelves. Place them on the front! It looks better and actually lights up what’s displayed on your shelves instead of the items casting a shadow and being invisible in the dark.100/10 worth the price.
