The box wasn't that heavy, I believe 32 lbs or less. It arrived intact and there was no damage to the packaging.
This is a picture of what was inside the box and you can see how well everything was packaged with additional styrofoam added to protect the bookcase parts. The hardware was all together in a sealed package and included an allen wrench needed for assembly. I "assisted" Greg which wasn't much more than keeping him company and reading the directions as this was an easy bookcase to assemble. We found the directions straightforward and easy to follow. Each part was labeled and the diagram was easy to read. I could have easily assembled this myself. All of the predrilled holes lined up and there were no problems assembling the bookcase. It's sturdy and attractive and it has floor levelers that you screw into the bottom of each leg which can be adjusted for uneven floors.
And now for the final unveiling, the completed bookcase.....
Here is the bookcase assembled in a nice spot in our bedroom. I've added some favorite books to the top shelf, the middle shelf holds books that I need to read soon for review, challenges etc. The bottom shelf is for Greg's books . I am sharing our new bookcase with him also!
Overall, we are both very happy with this great bookcase. I chose this bookcase as I liked the rustic look with the wrought iron blended with the darker wood that gave it a modern touch. The bookcase complements our bedroom and I am happy to have more shelves to display our books.
I can see why you love it - it looks fantastic!

ReplyDeleteLove the bookshelf...I also like the mixture of the wrought iron and dark wood.
ReplyDeletePerfect for that little spot! Love it. I'm still waiting for one of my rooms to be vacated so I can have a book nook. For a really cool library see Diane Keaton's library -- http://zqueenbees.blogspot.com/2009/08/book-nook.html ~~ Kim
ReplyDeleteLucky you! That is a beautiful bookshelf. I actually have wrought iron lamps in my living, so this would look great there.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to an author signing Thursday night at 7 at the B&N in Eton (on Chagrin) if you are interested. I'll email you later.
Bonnie, the bookcase looks great! Good job!

ReplyDeleteVery lovely, Bonnie! Too small, though; my TBR beast would bury it in a flash!

ReplyDeleteI am so glad you said it was easy to assemble. That is my biggest issue with companies. It's like you need job training just to put the thing together - so glad this was easy, breezy!
