Modern Shelf

Ads for unfnshed found me on social media while looking for bookshelves for my office. They arrived pretty quickly -- I got both sizes of bookshelf -- and they assembled in minutes. We're leaving ours au naturel, but I can tell these would take a stain or paint nicely. If you're on the fence, the quality is definitely there; you'll be happy with your purchase.

This is hands-down the best shelf I’ve ever purchased. I originally (and impulsively) bought a vinyl shelf on Prime Day but sent it back after experiencing the chemical off gassing and two huge bags of screws. I ordered this The second I came across this one from UNFNSHED, and I’m so glad I did.

It’s made in the U.S., it’s real wood (not that flimsy particleboard stuff), and the craftsmanship is gorgeous. It shipped out super quickly, arrived fast, and required zero assembly. As a single woman, I have absolutely no desire to wrestle with a million screws and tiny tools this shelf just slid together in under three minutes. Effortless.
I’m using it as part of my record setup and it fits so perfectly. The little book stand holds my currently playing vinyl upright, my speaker tucks underneath with ease, and I have space to grow into as my collection expands. And aesthetically, it’s stunning in my space simple, clean, and warm with its natural wood tone. What also made me feel really confident in this purchase is knowing that because it’s unfinished, I always have the option to stain or paint it later. Right now, I love the raw beauty of the wood, but it feels amazing to know I can creatively customize it whenever I want. That flexibility makes it feel like a living piece something that can evolve with me.

If you’re looking for thoughtful design, fast shipping, no-fuss assembly, and creative freedom, I can’t recommend UNFNSHED enough. This is the large with 3 shelves!

I'm in the midst of staining, but it's smooth, beautiful grain, and will be perfect for my records!

We absolutely adore our stool! It's wonderfully cute in our space and fits perfectly in our toddler's play kitchen area. The design is exactly what we were hoping for, and our little one loves having her own special place to stand.

Assembly was straightforward with clear directions (however, it does take a LOT more muscle than they show in the video, and the wood is so tight it can cause some splintering), though I did notice the legs weren't perfectly even when completed. When used as a stool, there was a slight wobble, but we easily solved this with small felt furniture pads on each leg. This simple fix worked beautifully, and though the pads eventually wear down, they're inexpensive and easy to replace.

Despite this minor adjustment, the quality and craftsmanship are impressive. The stool is sturdy, beautifully designed, and has become an essential part of our daughter's play area. We're genuinely impressed with what the team at Unfnshed is creating.

This is a sturdy and high-quality shelf - although the assembly was not as easy as the video suggests, I had to bang those things with a hammer, sandwiched between a piece of wood, pretty hard for a while to get them actually to go in as far as it’s supposed to. The legs are also quite chunky-looking from the side, making the side profile less elegant than I had hoped. I wonder if it needs to be that wide. I’m sure it helps with the stability, but still, I hoped it looked a little less ‘assuming'. Overall, a solid, decent product. Cons: less elegant-looking in real life than in the photos, assembly requires a lot more time and effort than advertised, which means that if I want to disassemble them to apply different finishes, it will be another pretty hard hammering session.
