Sturdy and nice looking!
I'm really happy with this unit! It's high quality, sturdy, and quite attractive. Just keep in mind that you'll need to assemble it, so set aside a few hours. The instructions are clear and they even include extra hardware, which was helpful. I managed to put it together by myself without any issues.

I absolutely love this piece! It’s a gorgeous addition to my home and came at a great price. The quality is impressive, and the assembly instructions were clear, with helpful diagrams. Everything was nicely packed, which made it easy to put together. Even though I didn’t need to reach out to them, it was nice to see they included info on how to contact them if necessary, assuring me that they’d send replacement parts right away if needed. This is exactly what I was hoping for!

Great design and solid bookshelf!
I'm really happy with this bookshelf unit. It's sturdy and looks just as described. While it was a bit pricier than other options, it’s worth the extra cost given the positive reviews, which I agree with. The dark walnut pieces were all well-finished and felt solid, with connections at every point. The back is well-made, not flimsy like some others, giving it good side-to-side stability. I love the stylish metal side panels and diagonal braces, which add to its stability. The assembly instructions were easy to follow, with helpful reminders to read them before starting and to wait on tightening fasteners until the end. It took me about an hour and a half to put together, mostly because I had to find the right tool. I recommend using a ratcheting screwdriver with an Allen bit, as the included keys weren't cutting it for the many Allen screws. It was nice that there were extra screws included too; I’ve had issues with missing screws in the past. The packaging was. I was worried when I saw the box was damaged, but everything inside was. Overall, if I need another furniture kit, I’ll check out Hawkins Woodshop again.

Attractive and sturdy bookshelf unit, worth the investment.
This bookshelf is sturdy and looks great, just like it was described. I paid a bit more than I usually would for a small three-shelf unit, but after seeing all the positive feedback, I think it was worth it. The dark walnut finish is done well, and everything feels solid with a perfect fit at all the connections. The back is made of a strong material, not flimsy cardboard, which gives it extra stability. It also has nice metal side panels with diagonal braces for added sturdiness. The assembly instructions were clear and included plenty of tips, like not to tighten anything until the whole thing is put together. Following that advice was helpful. It took me around 1.5 hours to assemble, mainly because I took my time finding the right tool to make it easier. While they provided tools, I would suggest using a ratcheting screwdriver with an Allen bit instead of the standard Allen keys. There are quite a few Allen screws, and I quickly realized the key wasn’t going to cut it. It was nice to see they included extra screws too, which is a thoughtful bonus, especially after dealing with missing screws in past kits. The packaging was top-notch. Given my experience with shipping companies, good packaging is important. I had a few damaged items from another purchase, so I was a little worried when I saw the box had some dents on it. But when I opened it, everything was in condition. If I need more furniture kits in the future, I’ll be checking out Hawkins Woodshop again.

Great versatile piece
I’m really happy with my purchase. This solid and nice-looking piece fits perfectly in our home. It arrived well-packaged, and the assembly instructions were clear with helpful diagrams and extra parts included. I do wish there’d been a version in French for the instructions, though. We got it to store books and games in our grandkids' playroom, and it looks so good that I might get the drawer version next!

Looks great and holds up well!
This furniture is sturdy and simple to put together. The instructions suggested having two people, but I managed to do it by myself in about 30 minutes, which included unboxing everything. I decided not to attach the back panel since I felt it wasn't necessary. It was nice of the shop to include some extra screws and two Allen keys in different sizes. Everything fit together perfectly and was effortless to assemble.
