Casual Home 3-Shelf Stackable 27.5" Wide-Chestnut fold Bookcase

This folding bookcase is awesome! The packing for this bookcase was extremely well done! All I had to do was unfold the shelves and lock them into place! I’m so happy with this purchase! If you need a bookcase, this is very well made and so very easy to put together…no screws or booklet telling how to put it together‼️

Well made, and simple design lends itself to any room. Easy to set up. Great Portability and can even be stacked on itself to create taller unit.

I bought 2 of these folding bookshelves in espresso after owning a couple similar sets for years. First of all they look expensive! They’re built to last - made with real wood not particle board, like so many others. Nothing to assemble. Just unpack it and unfold it into a bookshelf. I was worried about shipping but these were packed better than I could have imagined. I’ve never been impressed with packaging; yet here we are! Stability? I’m 57 1/2. I’m not going to climb up it. Put heavier items near the bottom and lighter stuff on top. If you’re still worried, fasten it to the wall. I’m not growing that to mine. Just be careful and use common sense.

These are great shelves for books and other items. The only reason why I didn’t give this a 5 star rating is because of the amount of styrofoam that is used in packing this item! I realize that it probably needs as much protection as possible, however I would think that there’s a better option than styrofoam. Waded up paper would be much better than styrofoam. Just a suggestion from a buyer who is concerned about how quickly our planet is being polluted. These are also stackable, but for buyers who are not planning to stack these, there should be a way to remove the peg from the shelves and put a supplied wooden plug into the top. I knew that they were made this way and I didn’t effect my overall rating. Otherwise these are great shelves and they can hold a good deal of weight. It’s real wood, not pressboard that looks like wood. It’s is not a solid piece as the shelves have joints in the few wooden slats that make up the shelf. I have a friend who has several of these filled with hardcover books. I purchased this one based on her experience with stacking these for her large book collection. She drilled a small hole on each side of the unit in the mid section of the shelf and put in very small wood screws, then used wood putty to fill the holes. It’s just added support as hardcover books are extremely heavy. It will not hold vinyl LPs, however I wish that it were able to do so. These would make incredible storage unit for vinyl collectors. The semi solid wood shelves and the size of these are much better looking than the shelving that I’m currently using. I know that I could have purchased the model that’s similar but has rounded corners and isn’t stackable. I have one of this type already. It’s been used in our office for years and it’s not showing any signs of weight related stress like sagging or wobbling. It’s just as sturdy as the day we purchased it. It has a lot of 3 ring binders on the top shelf with our bank statements as well as our investment statements. These are very heavy items. I also like the similar item with a solid top, but I chose this model for the lower price and the possibility that I might decide to add another unit on top of this one. It’s going to be used for our abundance of books we have. The maker of this unit would sell a lot more of these if they were able to hold vinyl LPs. I looked at possibly modifying the item to fit my vinyl collection, but I’ll just buy something else. Simply raising the shelves by just a couple of inches and possibly adding a solid wooden lip under each shelf for added strength would make these a great seller for vinyl enthusiasts.

Wow! No assembly necessary, pretty, sturdy, perfect. Exactly fits 2 bankers boxes per shelf!!

These things are great. I have two of them in our house, and they both serve well for what I needed them for. They are medium height, meaning they stand about as high as your waist, and are sturdy and attractive, too. The really fanstastic thing about them besides the overall general good quality and good looks is the fact that the bookshelf comes pre-assembled, and all you have to do is pull it out of the box, remove the protective packing, and simply swing the ends out. The shelves then lever into place. It literally takes ten seconds, and that's it! And then, if you ever have to move it somewhere, same thing: just lever the shelves up, swing the sides in, and then the shelves drop down, leaving you with a flat assembly that you can place right back into the box in which it was shipped (note: KEEP THE BOX it is shipped in so you'll have it for the future, should you need to move it). They come in all different colors, and the price varies by color, so make sure you carefully check all the versions before making a selection. Both of mine (the one here and the light oak color) show nice, consistent staining, and really are quite attractive. Finally, note that, should you want to, you can buy a top shelf (separately) that really makes the unit complete. Understand, however, that this top shelf is nearly as expensive as the entire bookshelf itself (depending on the color). I have one of my units with the top shelf, and one without. The top shelf pops right on using the pre-fitted holes and pegs, and so this, too, is as easy as it gets. I will have to confess the top shelf does really make this a much more "complete" unit and adds visual appeal, but it is not necessary at all if all you are looking to do is get some extra bookshelf space. Five Stars.

Sturdy bookshelf, just what I need. Helps organization. Arrived in great condition. No assembly other then, open and click shelves in place. Versatile enough to help organize a closet or any room. Good size, not a massive wall to wall bookshelf that collects dust and easy to clean under the shelf Used them for years and continue to add a few at a time.

I have lived with this shelf for years prior to making this review. It is made of solid wood, at least. It does look nice, but there is only one shelf that is secured -- the bottom. The top will flip off and fall at the slightest pressure. The other shelves fold easily. This is not at all a stable surface for anything you care about. It might be hazardous to adults and children from falling shelf and contents. I had forgotten that only the bottom shelf was secured when I moved recently. I folded up all the shelves and the bottom wood shelf just fractured away into pieces from the lone screw holding it in place, when I folded it up for storage. I'd forgotten about the one screw. Ooops, it's now firewood. Fortunately no one was hurt during the short lifetime of the shelf. As I was living in a southwestern/coastal city at the time, furniture and anything else must be bought new as there's virtually nothing of value remaining at a reasonable price in the second hand market. In such overcrowded areas, this shelf, despite its dangers, is a real aesthetic and thrifty find. In other parts of the country, such as the rural Midwest where there is a vital economy of used, inexpensive, high quality antique furniture, such a shelf is not at all as impressive and is an unnecessary household hazard.

Great value, easy to put together. Folding option makes it easy to store or move. Doesn’t look cheap.

Nice bookcase. I’m actually using this as a catchall stand in my kitchen. It is sturdy, has three good size shelves and is just right for the spot I have it in. I would recommend this as a multipurpose piece of furniture. I have the little corner shelf as well and it is great too. The finish on it is very nice and it goes together instantly without any hassles.

Me gustó y es muy útil

perfect for what I was looking for!

Excellent little shelving unit for the price. We are using this for all of the dog treats for our special girl.
