Casual Home 3-Shelf 27.5" Wide Folding Stackable Bookcase, Honey Oak (New)

These are excellent bookcases. We ordered six of them for an update to our book room. The tan finish is nicer than the photos indicate, they are packaged to arrive in perfect condition (they weigh around 21 lbs.). And setting them up is a piece of cake, easy. Wish we had room for more of them. Their quality is very high.

have had a few of these and this one is a good one. It is well made and easy to set up. Can recommend it.

The shelves are well made and study. They have a good look about them and can be used just about anywhere storage is needed. Plus they are compact, easy to move from room to room. Love these bookcases.

I've owned several generations of this product since it was sold by Home Decorators Collection (later Home Depot) in the late 2000s. Yes, it wobbles if you stack them and if you don't have the mantelpiece that HDC used to sell. Even with the mantelpiece (see picture), it doesn't feel the sturdiest, but I defy you to find another 6' tall bookcase that doesn't require a wall mount of some kind for stability. I would not allow children into an area with stacked bookshelves that were not properly secured. See other reviews for reports of Building 7 style bookcase collapses, but mine have remained standing over the years.In any event, I think that fold-flat bookshelves are better than sliced bologna, and I'm glad I can get the same stain colors that were available over a decade ago. Here are the differences that I've noticed between the product generations...FIRST GENERATION (Late 2000s)- Long (two-screw) shelf support brackets- Rear horizontal supports held in by hex-head boltsSECOND GENERATION (Early 2010s)- Short (single screw) shelf support brackets- Rear horizontal supports held in by hex-head boltsTHIRD GENERATION (2020s)- Short (single screw) shelf support brackets- Rear horizontal supports held in by internal pinsAesthetically, the design of the third generation product is the cleanest, since it doesn't have bolts running down the sides. The first/second generation ones came with small wooden plugs to cover these up. Another reviewer said that the horizontal supports were held in by "metal staples" - there aren't visible staples in the 3rd generation, but there are tiny holes which appear to be evidence of a pin nailer. I haven't taken the shelves apart for a full reverse engineering, but the newer shelves have about the same amount of wobble as the older ones. I noticed the most warping (wood rubbing together etc) in the 2nd generation product.As for fit and finish, some of the brackets arrived at a slight angle on the 3rd generation product. A couple of the shelves will not fully seat onto the brackets without adding weight. But the black top pins lined up perfectly on my old mantelpiece, so they're doing something right. The shelves do not visibly sag when loaded with books.One thing that I gleaned from the Q&A section – The "(New)" stains simply have different packaging than the ones without "(New)". The packaging does contain styrofoam, but it's a compact box and there was no visible product damage when it arrived.If you buy these shelves, know what you're getting into. They could be hazardous, but I find them to be attractive and convenient. If I didn't own several already, I'd probably opt for a different design, for example, shelves with diagonal cross braces. But I'm glad that I can continue to expand my book collection into stackable, foldable, wooden bookshelves that match the ones I bought over a decade ago.

I love them, I bought 2, and I'm looking to buy 1 more. I thought I was going to have to put it together but no assembly required. I love also that it's solid wood, not that prefab/premolded stuff. Alot of room for plenty of books or for whatever you may use it for.

Not great stability empty. This is less of a problem with added weight or if you installed the wall supports

Fast shipping excellent delivery great quality easy setup beautiful color thanks

Love everything....no assembly required which for me is a "no-brainer" when purchasing items. Looks beautiful and adds pizazz to my apartment!
