Convenience Concepts Designs2Go Classic Glass 3-Tier Bookshelf 28" - Modern Media Stainless Steel Bookcase for Living Room, Display Storage Shelves for Family Room, Bathroom, Office, Glass/Chrome

Just received this today and set it all up. The assembly required absolutely no tools and took five minutes! As background, I spent an hour or two trying to find a bookshelf here on amazon since I had just moved and all my books were sitting in a box in my closet. I compared a bunch of the bookshelves within this price range $40-80 and found that all the fake wood shelves were not sturdy and poorly built, and not much else is really available at this price. But after reading the reviews on this I decided to purchase it and I was so surprised at the quality of it for $50! The actual review: As stated, assembly is simple - just twist the metal poles. Once assembled this bookshelf bears a strong weight to it making it very sturdy, even on my carpet. But it's not too heavy at all, just perfect. I have a laser printer that sits on the very top of the shelf with random books like my dictionary, thesaurus, french dictionary, etc. The second shelf is completely filled with an assortment of literature. Heavy hardcover books and softcover books all packed in together. I have the largest hardcover books on each end of the shelf pressed against the metal pole to act as a wall-in for the rest of the books and this works great. On the bottom shelf I have around 20 medium sized books along with several heavy textbooks. On my count the first and second shelf holds: 60 books, many being very large textbooks and hardcover books, while many are ~3-400 page softcover books. I'm quite amazed a bookshelf for this price can hold all my different books, printer, and still have room for more stuff! If functionality is your motivating factor, you will not regret purchasing this whatsoever. The glass is 8mm thick and can probably hold way more than I have on it. If you're big on appearances, this is extremely high quality and the glass/metal combo look great - looks way more expensive than $50. I highly recommend getting this bookshelf! I will update this review if it collapses or anything like the metal poles bend, but I seriously doubt it will happen.

Sturdy and easy to put together. A little pricey, but if you are looking for convenience this is it.

I liked this shelving so much I decided to purchase another one. It is easy to assemble, a good size to be used in various setting and looks great. I have to mention the Convenience Concepts worked with me through an issue that was not of their making. The glass shelving I received with my order had visible flaws, imperfections. I was able to have a replacement sent quickly but unfortunately the second order had the imperfections as well. I contacted the company directly and asked if they would please inspect the glass replacement before it was send to insure the problem would not persist. And they did. The replacement glass was quickly sent and it has arrived in perfect order. So I am best pleased with the product and company. I may even order another one once I am finally settled. So glad to find a great product and company.

Back again because the customer service is as fantastic as most note. The shelves are worth buying. They are functional and sturdy.

Firstly, the shelf is very nice, and sturdy. The glass is very nice looking and was extremely easy to put together, took me all of about 10 minutes or so including removing from the box. My only complaint (which is probably mostly my own fault) is that for the cost, it's a bit small (box fan in the picture gives a better idea) compared to what the product picture looked like. I'd give it 4.5 stars if possible, but I am happy with the product, though for the price, I likely wouldn't purchase again.

I ordered 4 of these shelves now and can't say enough good things about them. First of all they come boxed very well and both times (ordered 2 the first time and decided to get 2 more) the boxes were in great shape. I was worried since they were glass that during travel there might be some breakage but I'm happy to report no breaks or cracks in the glass. They were packed very well and are easy to remove from the box. There is Styrofoam packed inside but it is not a mess like some Styrofoam can be so no vacuum needed after assembly and that was a wonderful experience. The assembly was so easy!! It took me maybe 15 minutes to put together 2 units. WOW!!! The only warning is they are somewhat heavy so be prepared for that but by no means heavy enough that one person cannot move the box. They are beautiful too. If I had room I would definitely buy more.

The item arrived as described nicely package. Upon opening and inspecting the items I found not issues with any pieces. Overall, quality of the components is good. For its size it is heavy due to the glass which I like. The measures are accurate, matching the ad. It is easily assembled in about 10 minutes with no tools required. Also it comes with a wall anchor kit to prevent it from tipping over. The kit is simple and consist of two oval shaped screws and two zip ties. It low tech but would work. I’m completely satisfied with the product and it met my expectations for quality and functionality. I would recommend it to others.

My wife wanted some shelves for her home office. We picked this shelf out on Amazon because the ratings were good on it and we thought it looked nice. It arrived in perfect condition and I put together in less than ten minutes without even opening the instructions. What was amazing was that I was able to put it together without even once getting mad at it and calling it a piece of crap. The shelf is very nice looking, is very sturdy, and is just the right size for what my wife wanted it for. My wife loves it and I couldn't be happier with this purchase. My only regret is that it wasn't made in the USA. It is well worth the money we paid for it.

Bought one first, loved it. Ordered two more for the study and two for family room. Displaying succulents.

Lovely would recommend this product .

I got something slightly larger as a TV stand for my bedroom from another company and manufacturer and paid twice as much for it. This unit is incredible value for the price and like a narrower 4-tier companion piece I bought at the same time, took less than 10 minutes to assemble. Unbelievable value!!

Good looking

I love this unit for many reasons. It is sleek and assembles quickly and easily. The fact that the edges of the thick glass shelves are rounded and not squared. The contemporary design. I held back a star because they chintzed out on the fasteners. The screws holding the polls together are made of plastic as are the polls. A reminder that it was created mostly for display purposes and not for holding heavy items such as books. Having said that, there's no doubt that you will love it! Enjoy!
