Happy and satisfied!
I love it because you dont need any tools to put it together and it is perfect to store my items for the projects that I am working on. Also. I love that the shelf has a piece that you use to connect the shelf to the wall to prevent it from falling over.

Disappointed
If you're on the fence, don't get it. The item arrived with the color on the shelves faded away or chipped. It's not worth the money to receive an item in this condition. I'm really disappointed.

    It is great especially for the price!
    I love this shelf mainly because it needs no tools and it is super easy to assemble. It is also very sturdy! I needed 2 for extra storage in my closets and a shelf for kids toys.

    perfectly awesome!
    Awesome shelf!!! the shelf are made of wood and they are heavy!! the poles are a strong white plastic and it fits perfectly in my kitchen. I just luv it!! since i own a old home, it doesn't have much closet space so i have to improvise. I now have my kitchen counters clean of clutter and kitchen looks beautiful with it in and the color gray and white shelf is perfect bc my kitchen is gray n white!!!

    Great shelf
    few months in wanted to give a proper review and not just got it type thing So yeah.. Man this product was a little heavy for me and taller then me to build im 5' and a quarter thats about 152 cm for those out of the US Just a heads up. Pros: It was stupid easy to build like it was so simple your teenager could help you put it together if they're face wasn't in their phones all the time. The price 35$ isnt bad i have been book shelf hunting for months so yea pretty good for what you get. Cons: The down side if you have any heavy manga books or normal books that like harry potter or a dictionary you might want to either not get this or if u do in time your gonna need to make so adjustments cuz my shelfs are already warping in the center since they're so heavy mostly the second and third row. Oh i forgot but um the wood isn't real “wood” i mean it is but isnt.. its actually made of small shards of woods it makes it feel cheaper then what it is. And also this bad boy collects so much dust thanks i really need that extra bonus to my allergies haha. But other than that pretty good shelf 4 Stars.

    Best purchase.
    Love it. Easy to put together and gets the job done. Was looking for something small enough to squeeze in the little corner I had saved for toy organization and big enough to hold the bins I already had. This did the job nicely and my sons were able to help put it together (2 and 6) and they loved the color.

    Amazing for our playroom!
    These shelves are amazing! We previously were using the Mainstays 5 shelf bookcases (which I also love!!) They hold up incredibly when they are being used, but break incredibly easy when you try to move them to a new house. Normally we'd just buy another, but this time I found this 2pack on sale and I bought 6 to redo the playroom in our new apartment. If I ever need to move again, these will be able to be taken apart and put back up like a breeze. The specifics state that they only hold 15 lbs per shelf so that's the thing that's most different between the 2. The Mainstays supposedly hold A LOT more per shelf but I've never had anything close to weighing that much-besides books which I always use the very bottom shelf. All in all I think these turn n tube shelves are going to be great for organizing toys. I definitely recommend them!

    Good product, great customer service
    I ordered a total of 6 of these shelves to help organize some of the spaces in my home. I have a very small pantry and was using the cheap plastic shelving in my basement as extra storage. These shelves are sturdy and much more attractive to look at. It takes about 10 minutes to put one set of shelves together. One box came with two damaged shelves. I called the number and the replacements were shipped immediately and I had them in less than 5 days! Great customer service. I did decide to use one shelf that has a large crack/scratch on it. I put it on the bottom in case there would be a weight issue, but honestly, I think it will be fine. I used the smaller shelves in my closest and at this price point, I couldn't be happier. I definitely recommend and if I need more shelving I will be purchasing these again!

    All in all well worth the time and monies
    We ordered 4 of these in the black and red and will need to order more! The height is fixed between each shelf but we have mixed and matched to create an arrangement on one wall that is similar to an entertainment center. With the next order I will arrange to have an 8 / 6 shelf unit. I like the quality of the shelves, the color is definitely chic and ease of assembly was fantastic. You will need to build them upside down and I recommend work gloves to tighten each of the supports. We also ordered white which was equally chic and assembly was great. We will be in the market for some storage bins but all in all well worth the time and monies. The styrofoam is a little annoying because the little ballies get static cling and attach themselves to EVERY THING. We used dryer sheets to pat things down and swept up straight away. Also annoying is if you do not take care, the bottom most slot can come apart if you insert support improperly - take your time and do it right the first time. Hopefully the customer care number will be able to assist.

    Pleasantly surprised
    Before ordering, I read reviews. For the price, this bookshelf is a pleasant surprise. It was easy to assemble, sturdy (for shoes in a closet) and looks just like the picture. i assembled and my teenager asked for one: ) For the price, I ordered right away.

    Great product
    This was such a great purchase. I am extremely happy with it. I am horrible at putting things together and was a bit apprehensive about it, but this literally didn't take more than 10min to put together. It is sturdy and the perfect size for my daughters playroom.

    No hassle shelves
    The Mainstays No Tools 5 Shelf Standard Storage Bookshelf was as advertised. It was so easy to assemble as 1, 2, and 3. It fits perfectly in my space. It also comes with a safety handle with screws to attach to the wall. My storage bins fit fantastically on the shelves.

    Awesome shelves
    I ordered two of these mainly because of the price hoping they would be good for my funko collection. These are AMAZING! Very easy and simple to put together. Definitely no tools needed and they are sturdy. Absolutely fantastic for the price point. Will definitely buy a few more for other storage purposes. Possibly not Ideal for very heavy items like workout equipment since the rods that keep everything together are plastic. The box the shelf comes in is pretty heavy so just keep that in mind when ordering since you may need a second person to lift it. I absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend.

    Great purchase!!
    We purchase 2 units. I was actually really happy. For some reason we thought it was plastic and was glad it was wood. We got this as an extra pantry for the kitchen and the other as shelves for the walk in. Really happy with it and want to purchase one more for our books.

    Easy assembly
    Nice shelve, works perfect for where I needed it. Couldn't get some pieces to fit perfectly due to the holes. I don't trust it for super heavy items but it works great for all my children's games and crafts.
