Absolutely, love the quality of the piece. I’ve been trying to find something that fits my pc for a while because I don’t like it being on my desk. But this was perfect.

Love it. I have a small kitchen and needed a small bookcase. It’s perfect. Took me two minutes to assemble and no screws. It is very sturdy. I may keep the natural look. Highly recommend.

Great Idea and High Quality

Really cool. Wish all my furniture had a setup process like this lol.

Let my daughter pick the paint color at the store and we did it together - an activity AND a shelf!

Love this tiny shelf!

If I had enough room in my studio, I would have bought the bigger size! Hopefully in the future! But I love the tiny version. Goes great with the little space I needed to fit my books in.

Perfect Record cabinet! I’m extremely happy with my wall shelf for my film collection, and the modern shelf for my records.

Worth it

UPS lost my package for nearly a month, but customer service was responsive, and it was worth the wait. Took me five minutes to put together and completely transformed my space. I'll be leaving it untreated as I love plain wood and joining. Will definitely shop with unfnshed again <3

Easy to put together and looks cute painted

Easy to put together and looks cute painted. There were a couple imperfections that mar the look but the books cover them.

Just what I was looking for!!

Quick delivery, well packaged. I unboxed it for a quick and easy assembly, then disassembled for paint and stain. My goal is to paint the braces matte black, stain the shelves dark walnut. I'll post pix when I'm done, if possible. This shelf will be for vinyl records, as the collection has grown beyond my stereo shelf's available space.

I was worried it would be too big, but it’s perfect, exactly what I was looking for! My husband loved the assembly time of about 2 to 3 minutes. Once it gets warm outside I am going to stain it. Thanks so much for a great product.

So simple, so easy

We wanted an inexpensive solution (and decent - not something that would fall apart over time) to store all of our 4 year old’s books and this is perfect. It’s solid, it’s timeless, and someday we plan to paint it. Thank you so much!

This piece is of outstanding quality! It arrived securely packaged and was so easy to put together that even this construction-challenged grandmother could do it! Thank you!

Wonderful customer service. Fast response and even showed me pictures to answer my questions. Shipping was really fast and this was notably easy to assemble. I felt like I could do anything after putting this together :)
