cheap bookshelves for sale, wall mounted bookshelves

As echoed by other reviewers, this was the most frustrating piece of furniture that I've ever had the displeasure of putting together.

Material quality is middling, instructions are poor, end product is middling, but it ends up looking pretty nice.

I'm the type of person that other people come to when they can't put furniture together and I still had MULTIPLE problems putting this together.

1) For the descending pyramid shelves, there are 3 shorter pieces of varying sizes and 3 tall pieces all the same size (for the two left shelves).

Hardly enough glue to properly secure the dowels. You really have to think ahead to make sure you don't use up all the glue before finishing.
