I figured it out and assembled the book shelf in about an hour and a half. The assembly instructions are not the best with some of the detail not very clear, at least not to me. It was packaged very well and arrived with no damage. The wait was 2 months but we checked other places that made real wood bookcases and their wait was as long, if not longer, than Woodlands.

I am very pleased with our bookcase so much so, I ordered 2 more. Quality of the wood is high - very paint-able - I used Kills Premium and a Sherwin Williams cabinet paint - one coat each. The side moldings themselves make inserting the shelves difficult.

This needs to be rethought - ditch the moulding fastener blocks for sure - they restrict shelf placement. However, they do accurately point to the molding assembly as the most difficult - it is unnecessarily so. The instructions could be clearer - probably a victim of a number of revisions -start from scratch and revise. Bookcases are of high quality and can be assembled relatively easily. Lower rating is for 6 month wait for order. Posted by Douglas Friedman on Oct 31st 2022 Easy to follow instructions for assembling and definitely a custom look. Great addition to my home office as well. I'm happy with the quality of the wood and construction.

I have 4 of the 82"H X 12"D bookcases, 2 of the 82"H X 9.25"D ones, and 2 of the 30"H X 9.25" ones. But now that my bookshelf wall is complete, it looks great! You have to be at least a little handy to do it. And it was a lot of work on my end to do all the staining and assembly. It took a long time to complete, partly because of the shipping delays.
