   I’ve owned this unit for about 5 months now and it has far exceeded expectations! It is situated in a medical office, holding toys for children to play with, where toys are constantly being taken off, put (thrown) back on, and it’s held its structure well without any blemishes, as there are no “wood chips” or nicks. And the bookshelf itself has enough weight to hold itself up without risk of tipping.

   Assembly was very simple, the biggest challenge was just aligning the different pieces, but it took about 15 minutes with no tools. Everything has “stuck together” the unit has been well admired from parents to college students as the rich espresso color has complemented my more “traditional” furniture. I’m not sure how much weight it can bear, but I have placed heavy wooden puzzles, a wooden doll house, building blocks, etc, without any warping whatsoever. I am planning to add their small table and cube chairs soon to allow kids to draw and play games on. Again, I am very impressed with the quality, durability, and most of all, its resilience!

   I was amazed that this was made from recycled paper…I would have thought it was particle board. Went together in a snap.

   This bookcase sounds good and looks good but in reality it was terrible and didn’t last 24 hours the first time around. We followed the easy instructions to the letter but after waiting the proper time to set and actually placed items on it, it collapsed and broke within 24 hours. Amazon replaced it only for it to collapse again within 48 hours spooking my son in the middle of the night.

   I have to add my kudos along with the other posters to Way Basics for making a product that is easy to put together AND flexible in design. In this set you are given four horizonal-use boards and nine vertical support boards. Yes, you can quickly put it together the way they suggest, but you can also, say, inset the vertical supports four inches or so in on the top and bottom level and come up with a different look! My one suggestion, though, if you are going to play around with the lay out: set everything out on the floor as if the unit was laying flat on its ‘back’ (the boards are thick enough to ’stand’ on their narrow width) to make sure a)you like the pattern you are planning and b)you have all the pieces for the pattern you are planning. Because once you’ve pulled back the covering for the adhesive and ’stuck’ it, you’re pretty much set with where it is. (fortunately not a problem I ran into, although I was working to make two non standard units out of four sets).
   
   I’d also strongly suggest putting it together in the room you are going to use it unless you have the space to leave it where you’ve built it for 24 hours to set (heavy books on top apparently help this).
   
   All in all a great product, I’d give it a five but there were some dings and slightly warped/crumpled edges (inside a pristine box) – which were only noticeable when you’re right on top of the piece, which of course you are when you set it up.
   
   Off to order another unit for my son’s room. Love this product!
