Sauder Select 5 Shelf Bookcase in Washington Cherry Finish

Excellent product looks very good. Assembly was easy and quick. Very happy with this purchase.

Pésimo empacado! Producto de mediana calidad.

Instructions work well if you follow them to the letter. However, this was our 2nd Sauder bookcase build and these instructions were less clear than those for the Oil Oak Finish bookcase. At one stage in the build, you are required to turn the bookcase over. This I did but it slipped from my hands and landed hard on the carpeted floor, breaking some metal posts out of their pre-drilled holes in the pressboard. I repaired these with some braces I purchased at a hardware store, and corrected the issue. Fortunately, the silver-colored braces are not all that visible. However, I think such braces (color-matched) would make for stronger construction generally in these builds. Other than that the bookcase looks good and is quite functional.

We bought three of the Sauder bookcases. In less than months, the shelves have sagged. We are in the process of removing each shelf and reinforcing it to remove the current sag and prevent the shelves from sagging again. It seems that ease of assembly has been deemed more important that quality and durability. We are disappointed as we purchased knowing it was a Sauder product, a name we had previously aligned with quality products.

J'ai due demander de remplacer une pièce le coté du meuble, le service à la clientèle a été des plus courtois et aimable sans compter un service rapide, sans compter qu'il ne m'ont pas chargée aucun frais. Le problème est qu'à certain endroit le meuble est pas en ligne avec d'autres éléments soit à l'horizontale ou vertical c'est pas esthétique pour le prix payé. Faire le montage à deux a pas été facile, des pièces était pas identifié, il a fallu deviner et finalement on ses trompé, cela a mis 3h et demie pour le monter. La prochaine fois je payerais pour un meuble entier comme dans le temps !
