CHICAGO lacquered oak veneer Bookcase

Slow start, but eventually it came together

Marc, Toronto, Ontario

I purchased this a while ago. Someone else had mentioned...It is a very stylish bookcase, but it is a little bit challenging to assemble, mainly because of the damaged parts on arrival. Think it was a total of 3x needed to replace one of the larger pieces. Also, be very careful on initial assembly as the veneer does crack - but it's commonplace for any company with products like these. Once up, product was fine, just logistics and CSR's were "challenging". Anyway, would recommend you wood glue everything. Once it's up, it's great, as it can support ...

Massive storage

Adam Bourret, Toronto, Ontario

This bookcase is huge and solid. It holds a lot and is designed to lean agains the wall so you don't have to anchor it.

Great as media unit!

Dmytro, Montreal, Quebec

I bought this "bookcase" to be able to put my 65" TV and use as a media unit. It ended up looking amazing!

I ordered this bookcase to complete my mid-century modern living room. Once put together it is lovely on the wall and exactly as shown in the picture. I have read the other reviews and agree that it is a little tricky to put together. It took my husband the better part of a day to do and he ended up warping a few of the metal bits and not being able to use them. He was still able to put the unit together though. For those reviews that say, it's larger than you would think, I say... not if you ...

For those reviews that say, it's larger than you would think, I say... not if you look at the dimensions as written in the information section of the product info section. It's exactly the size it says it is.... so measure out your space and make sure you have enough room. I'm loving my bookcase! I paired it up with the Osaka coffee table and am super happy with my living room.

Perfect for living room

Christina, Toronto, Ontario

Beautiful piece. Took a while to put together and heavy to lift but the finished product is lovely. You need a large empty wall for this... it's bigger than you might expect but perfect for any home with mid-century modern furnishings.

Love this bookshelf

Joseph Lepage, Calgary, Alberta

The shelf is high quality and is very strong once put together, it's huge so you'll need a big spot to build it , the walnut inserts look so good with my grey couch and chair and really spruces up a wall I previously just had artwork on. The one downside to the shelf is they didn't take into consideration the average height of light switches so it can't really be placed in front of one with the hope of reaching into the shelf to hit the switch. I'm so happy with my purchase and I can't find anything comparable for ...
