My husband and I bought FOUR of these to help maximize the use of a hall closet that was being used for nothing more than hanging coats.
We took the coats OUT, assembled these by stacking them 2 x 2 (two on the bottom, two on the top). They turned out GREAT for their purpose (we're using them for overflow cabinets to keep extra supplements, tea, coffee, etc.).
Here are our tips:
1. Use
Gorilla Glue
as you assemble the outside structure. Makes them much, much stronger.
2. Use a power drill/screw gun, rather than just a screwdriver, to assemble--speeds it up and you'll get a better fit.
3. Make sure the finished edges are facing outward and upward (you'll see what I mean). The unfinished edge is the bottom.
4. Work on a hard floor to get a good, square assembly. Verify everything's "squared" before you nail on the cardboard backing.
5. We glued all parts of the bottom shelves together. On the top shelving units, we DID NOT glue the bottom shelf in place. We DID assemble it and then nailed the backing on the top shelving unit, EXCEPT for the very bottom shelf, which we then removed before stacking the units. Why did we do this? Just to get two "free" shelves, which we were able to install with some extra shelving brackets we had on hand. I'll post a photo in a few days so you can see what I mean (photo posted 4/7/14: see "Customer Images").
6. Use the dowels provided to "stack." If you want a permanent installation, Gorilla Glue the top unit to the bottom. We did not want a "permanent" installation, so we didn't use glue, The dowels are sufficient to hold the two units in place, as long as you use a bracket to secure the top shelf of the top unit to the back of the closet wall. Works great!
Are these strong enough for a child to climb on all the time? No. But if you live in an all-adult household and need some extra storage, these are a wonderful solution. They look GREAT and are very functional. No painting, no mess, no handyman required. You really CAN do it yourself. Highly recommended!
UPDATE 4/8/14 CORRECTION: We bought FIVE. We bought ONE more unit, just to use as extra shelves within these organizers. Photo of the finished project has been posted under "Customer Images," just FYI). If you buy extra shelves, you'll need extra shelving pins. These fit ours perfectly:
Shelf Pin, Flat Spoon-Style, Brass, 5mm (25)

White Small Cubicals for Storage 3-shelves - two if using fabric shelf cubes
Packaged good. Delivered timely. We did not readily find the instructions but mostly easy to figure out how to assemble. Thanks to those in review with the instructions. You will need a hammer & a philips screwdriver. Here is a pix of the parts. Fits in small places.

The quality is cheap, but for it to feel cheap and still be sturdy is special! It required a hammer and screwdriver to put together, but the instructions were clear and assembly was easy. Comes with 2 adjustable shelves and has one fixed shelf on the bottom. Items can also be stored on top. It fits very nicely in the corner of my room, fits the cloth storage boxes I have with room for books on the top shelf, and is also a very elegant cherry wood color. I give it 5 stars because, despite the quality, this is a very good product overall.

The construction of these shelves was...sub-par. There was a big chip out of one corner of one of the side pieces, and there were some scratches and stuff, but honestly that's to be expected when you're buying something like this in this price range. The chip didn't affect the stability of the shelves, and I was able to hide it by putting that shelf on the far side of the bed where it couldn't be seen.
I also chose not to put the back on. I don't have a hammer (and even if I did, I don't really want to annoy my neighbors with hammering sounds, or smash my thumb by accident), and the back seems kind of unnecessary anyway, at least for my purposes.
To keep the shelves from sliding around, I rolled up pieces of tape and put them on the little plastic brackets. Works like a charm, and you can't see it unless you lay down and look up at the underside of the shelves (even then it's not very noticeable). Not the most elegant solution, but hey, it gets the job done.
I also didn't anchor these to the wall, because the plaster in my apartment is pretty weak, and I don't want to cause any damage. I'm going to load the bottoms with heavier stuff (like books) to help keep the shelves stable, and I'm sure it'll work out fine.
Bottom line: if you get these shelves, go into it with low expectations, and you won't be disappointed! For the price, these shelves are great, easy to put together, and look pretty nice, all things considered. If you're looking for shelves that will become family heirlooms passed down from generation to generation, get different shelves. But if you just want some basic shelves to use as closet storage, or night stands, or end tables, these are great!

I was looking for something to use as a nightstand, and I only had about 13 inches to work with. This shelf is perfect! Well, not *perfect*, but it fits where I need it to go, was relatively simple to put together, and looks pretty nice. Its not the sturdiest, but I'm not planning on putting anything heavy on top (and part of the slight wobble is the fact that my floors are old and uneven), aside from maybe a small lamp. I only put 2 drawers in because I wanted to use the top section to put books and stuff, but I got the drawers that another reviewer mentioned (by Winsome), and they fit great! You could definitely fit 3 of these if you wanted.Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2016
