It was so worth the wait to get these beautiful shelves. Modern clean look. Quality wood. Got it for kids’ bedroom. They hold so many books! Plus one for our bathroom. It’s doing amazing w all the moisture. Made the bathroom remodel just perfect. Would highly recommend!

I’ve bought this shelf unit because the design is very simple and can be used in any room. I’ve moved around the shelf to office or to the living room. Not only did the design look nice but the functionality is perfect from holding heavy thick books to just displaying small items to decorate the room. I’m happy that I bought this and I would like another one soon

similar to other reviews, the quality/product are not the same as a few years ago. visible seams, repainted, etc. do not buy.

Recently received this book case. It was shipped within 2 weeks of ordering this item, even though it had stated it was backordered, so that was a pleasant surprise as I was not expecting it to arrive for another month or so. Took my husband within 30-40 minutes to put it together with a drill with no issues. Looks great, looking forward to purchasing more in the future as my book collection continues to grow!

The shelf seems sturdy and looks great. The issue is in the assembly. The instructions say that all you need is a regular phillips screwdriver in addition to the parts supplied. It is IMPOSSIBLE to put the shelf together with that. You need a ratchet screwdriver, which luckily we could borrow from a neighbor. But, it is still not easy. There's hardly room to turn the ratchet screwdriver. It is a terrible design. I've seen one customer mention this in the reviews for the 18' wide ladder shelf. I can't believe that everyone doesn't mention this in the reviews.

I bought the smaller Sawyer bookshelves a few years ago for a new office, and loved these so much that I purchased these longer ones for my home office a few months ago. I love the look - simple, chic, and easy to assemble.

I bought this a few months ago for my bedroom. I wanted a functional way to organize my books with a modern design. It's been fun to change up the shelfs with what I choose to display. My only complaint is that it was a little bit of a pain to assemble. I do like that I can buy the other shelfs in the future to add on to my existing shelf.

My children’s bedrooms are in a windowless hallway and their books were on a different floor, in my space. Our decor is traditional, but for this space we took down the mirror, moved the old phone table and put up a high gloss accent paint on that wall. The total available wall space was 27” so this was a perfect fit. The shelves are shipped separately from the rails and ours came a few days apart. All the better to allow for offgassing, which is certainly needed. Now that I have it and it’s up, I really like it, with the caveat that it’s an out-of-the-way piece of furniture that isn’t going to be jostled too much. I wouldn’t purchase the desk add-on, for instance, seeing how the bookcase goes together.

Ordered 2 of the 24.5” Sawyer bookcase (white) on 1/9/21, and they were delivered a week later. The first bookcase I unpackaged arrived in pristine condition (no scratches, dents, or missing parts). However, upon opening the second bookcase, I discovered 2 of the pieces (1 & 6) were split (see photos). Pretty sure I can repair this on my own, but I find it quite annoying to have to fix/resolve an issue on a new product before I’m even able to assemble it.

I bought two of these several years ago made in a different country from the current one where it is manufactured and the older ones have a far smoother wood surface and cleaner detailing in the hardwear areas. The current models have visible graininess and the paint is slightly uneven. Very, very disappointed .

Bought these several years ago and they are fantastic. They look great and hold tons of my books. So great my daughter just asked for them for her house - just waiting on them. Hope they're as well made and great looking today as they were when I got them.

I waited for these to come in stock, as they fit my office space. They look nice and seem sturdy and functional. However, the quality is lower than I expect from Crate and Barrel. Two of the shelves were cut 1/8” too short, and there is no way to adjust to eliminate the gaps. It would be difficult to take them apart and return them so I guess I’ll keep them, but I’m disappointed.
