Furinno Pasir 4-Tier Open Shelf, Espresso

Unless it arrived damaged I truly cannot understand many of the negative reviews. This Furinno Pasir 3-Tier Open Shelf, Steam Beech arrived in a solid box, undamaged. It was very easy to assemble. Once assembled it appears very sturdy. Excellent value.If you follow the simple instructions carefully - screw tightly(!) and tack the back in correctly and firmly(!) around the edge and into the side and top panels (not the shelves as 'Vicki' did) - it leaves a very sturdy case, for under £24. With just 3 Parts (Part 1/3 = the 16 screws and Part 2/3 = the 22 tacks) what took me the longest to figure out was that Part 3/3 - the black clip thing - is not to attach to the bookcase, but instead a very helpful tack holder to help you tack the tacks into the backboard straight, and at the precise distance from the edge. Wonderful little tool!I feel pretty certain that if I stick to the recommended max. weight, this will remain sturdy for years to come. Once built this 3-tier measures exactly 24.0 cm Deep x 59.9 cm Wide x 80.1 cm High (so very close to but not quite as described at 24.6D x 57.7W x 80H).

Easy enough to assemble. Shelves bowing after a couple of years but it's cheapo and does the job. These things can always be reinforced if needed.

I was skeptical about this bookcase as it seemed very cheap. The reviews were quite good so I took a chance and bought two! Once they were put together (quite easily my handyman said) they are really great. Solid, small and sturdy. I love them and they fit under the eaves in my attic room perfectly!

This is probably the flimsiest bit of furniture that I have ever bought. Although I am retired, I am a carpenter by trade so I know how to put this type of product together. The biggest problem is that the backing board that would normally hold the unit square is quite literally wafer thin cardboard. The actual box that the unit comes in is made of cardboard 10 x thicker! Although it comes folded in three, the "board" easily falls into three parts! Whilst I wasn't expecting too much for the price, I didn't realise just how bad/flimsy this would be. Would have given no stars if I could.

Overall, these bookcases are acceptable for the price, but there are a few details that prospective buyers should be aware of.Firstly, the product description doesn’t mention that the shelves are not fully finished—only the tops are covered in melamine, which results in an inconsistent look. I bought two units, and they see, to be a slightly different shades of white; one shelf even has a slight yellow tint.The supplied screws were another issue. I felt they were too short and weak, and didn’t sit flush with the surface. I ended up removing them, countersinking the holes, and replacing them with 45mm wood screws. Unfortunately, no caps were provided, so the screwheads are still visible.I probably could have returned them, but I’m on a tight schedule to complete my project and have already overspent on other furniture. Now that the shelves are loaded with books and various items, they look a bit better and feel more stable. That said, I still wish I’d been able to invest in something a bit higher quality.

Ideal bookcase, easy to put together, is neat and fits well into smaller spaces.

The item is as described and easy to assemble. The back board smells strongly.
