SAFAVIEH Home Collection Maralah White 5-Shelf Bookcase (Fully Assembled)

I needed to replace a small--that should read "very small"--bookshelf for cookbooks in my kitchen. I did have a cheap white bookshelf from a Big Box store which served its purpose but it was time to move on. I have been looking for something this size for around two years and every once in a while, looked around Amazon. I could find many, many things I liked but nothing with the dimensions I needed.My only complaint with this is the shelves are not adjustable. I made it work--and it kinda looks cool--grouping my cookbooks by size rather than subject. That being said, it looks great and seems to be a lot more functional than the one I had. That's a *win* in my book! And it's assembled so it was ready to go right out of the box. Another *win*!

I bought this to add storage to my kitchen island and it’s beyond PERFECT!

I love the small profile of this wooden bookcase - and that it is sturdy wood so I can display heavy items and books. The gray was much darker than the color shown in the description, but it works okay in my space, so I don’t mind it. BUT, the reason for only 4 stars is that this bookcase stinks to high heaven and it is taking a really long time to dissipate. A really long time. Weeks and weeks. And it is a wretched odor. I wouldn’t be able to sleep anywhere near it. But the smell is finally starting to dissipate. I would actually like another one of these bookcases, but I won’t make a purchase again until late Spring when I can open all the windows - and even then, I still might hesitate to buy it. The reason I would is that I LOVE the size of it and how sturdy it is.

I would have given 5 stars, but there are several places where the paint didn't adhere, or it just didn't get painted! All are hidden by books except the top... which is the most obvious! For $160 it should be painted correctly and completely! See my pics... look closely and you will see wood, where paint should be!!!

This is not a true white, it is more like a antique white!

What a WONDERFUL surprise when this perfect little bookshelf arrived and I didn’t have to put it together!!!!!!!! And it arrived in PERFECT condition!!! I love it, love it , love it. It is great for a smaller bedroom or other space where one might need a little more storage. Very nice product, highly recommended.

I loved this shelf and it was a perfect fit for what I needed. I really wanted this to work! I first ordered the white one, but I returned it because the color was not white, it was cream. Then we ordered the grey to replace it. Unfortunately, the grey was more mauve. We ended up returning that one as well.

Love this sturdy little bookcase. Ready to go straight out of the box. No assembly needed. Perfect for my 10 year old's room for his books. Wouldn't buy this as a main bookshelf, but it does hold a lot of books, and makes for an attractive piece of furniture in any room (not just child's). Couldn't be more pleased.
