I was looking for a bookcase to fit a narrow space in a child’s bedroom. This fit the bill and the colours looked nice. However, the actual product leaves something to be desired. 

The instructions could be clearer.

The shelves should all have the colour side facing up, but the bottom shelf inexplicably doesn’t, which seems out of place.

The side screws to keep everything in place are not sunk and you’re given coloured stickers to cover them, but these don’t match the colour of the bookcase and do not sit flush, so look horrible. Better to leave the screws showing.

Finally, the book case is made up of two halves which you are then meant to put together with cam-lock screws and nuts, but, again the structural screws are not sunk, so the two halves can’t be joined perfectly, leaving a visible gap.

For the price, it feels like a reasonably sturdy bookcase and the design is nice, but the lack of attention to detail lets it down a bit.
