Review: My Troy - Love it very very useful love it
Review: Bookcase Must Be Assembled Completely - In reading several reviews about this bookcase. I find some have jumped to conclusions on this product without thinking through the assembly procedure and application use. When I received this bookcase last week; I was too; a little unsure about the strength and stability. I found out that in order to have this bookcase fully stable with items on it; the back panels MUST be attached. Also while assembling the bookcase; I made doubly sure that the supplied screws were fully tightened. In addition to that; I used thicker and longer nails, along with some of the supplied nails to ensure the back was fully attached and secure. Nothing or no one says you can't make some modifications to make the product better. The nails I used were about 2" long in comparison to the 1" supplied nails, plus maybe about 2x thicker. I did try putting record albums on the bottom shelf but it did feel like it was starting to "bow" or curve slightly because of all the weight in the middle. Instead I stacked video tapes on the bottom three shelves and then used the upper shelves to hold some 9" and 7" records, reel to reel tapes and CDs with small holders. Even before putting the media on the shelves, I tested the stability and it did not move. Once the media was put on shelves; the entire bookcase didn't even budge and inch and still holding strong. For those that had trouble building this bookcase before; I would definitely give it another try but be sure to use it for applications that its intended. Do not put anything heavy without an equal weight distribution from end to end inside the bookcase; and also I recommend using longer and thicker nails to mount the back panels for a stronger hold. Just make sure the nails are driven in straight so that you don't nail through the panel causing damage to the finish on the inside. I gave it 5 stars because it truly is a great looking bookcase and have similar cabinets of this wood style that have held up for many years.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inexpensive + Solid = Bargain
*by J***. on November 14, 2013*

First, this is not fine furniture. It is not meant to be. It is particle board with veneer, not hardwood. If you want fine furniture: look elsewhere and spend a lot more money. Plain fact of life. This bookshelf is VERY inexpensive, I couldn't find the raw materials to build a book shelf this size from scratch for less, and I mean any material, certainly not hardwood. Second, it is not assembled, it comes as pieces well packed in a box. You need to have some rudimentary carpentry skills and be able to read carefully and follow correctly moderately complex directions to put it together properly. This is critical. If it is properly assembled it is quite sturdy. If it is not properly assembled it will fall in a heap under it's own weight. It is not difficult relative to other self assemble furniture, it is actually on the easy side, but some people just don't have the skills. If you don't, be aware of it and don't buy self assemble furniture. It doesn't make you an evil or deficient person. :) A few notes on assembly: 1) When you tighten the hidden cam as directed make sure the two pieces you are joining are firmly pressed together when you turn it, if they are not the cam will not hold as securely. 2) It says to use a manual screw driver for assembly, not a drill/electric driver. This is because if you over tighten the screws all the king's horses and all the king's men will not be able to fix it so the bookshelf works properly again. I am good with a driver, I still didn't risk it. There aren't that many screws. 3) The back is not purely cosmetic. It may be veneer over extra tough cardboard but it is critical to the overall strength and stability of the shelf. It also is how you make sure the whole thing is square. Put a nail in at one corner, go to the opposite corner, make sure the edges of the backing align with the sides of the shelf before you put a nail in that corner. Work around trying to keep the back flat as you nail, and use all the nails they provide. As mentioned elsewhere, it could use at least one more shelf. I will probably cut a piece of pine 1x12 and stain it a close enough color. Assemble in the room you are going to place it in. If you are working alone the best way to move it is to put your hands in front of you palm up and lift by the permanent shelf, that is the strongest lift point. Even if you have help that is the lift point. Do not try to move it by grabbing the upper half, it is not meant to be moved that way and the upper half may come off. I would not recommend moving it often and never with anything in it. I have kept the directions because if I change residences again I will certainly take the time to dismantle it, it will transport much better that way.
