Elona 213cm H x 245cm W Solid Wood Library Bookcase

This was the worst bookcase ever brought. The instructions weren’t good and very difficult to follow. The shelves were chipped, there were unnecessary holes in one of the shelf and the backing panels had no joining stick so that you can stick them together. They provided some cheap tape. We used an expensive tape but it comes off as there is nothing there to secure the panels properly. You will have to guess how to build this. This was a nightmare.

I was looking for a very large bookcase for my newly renovated home office and this looked lovely. I was disappointed that wayfair only told me after I ordered and paid in full that it was out of stock and was in “backorder”. Took almost 3 months to arrive! It is not easy to out together. Parts look very similar and none are labelled! So far we have spent 3 hours assembling just 1/3rd of it and we are fairly experienced with DIY. Hopefully will look as good as the pictire by the time it is ready.

Beautiful, sturdy bookcase. It was easy to install it and the results were pleasing.

First, although apparently it arrived in the UK a week after ordering, it then took a further 3 weeks to deliver which was irritating. When it finally arrived it took several hours to put together , with more glue needed, a couple of screws missing, parts not fitting easily together with some cracking when trying to get dowels in. When it was finally up, it became evident that the dimensions did not match those set out in the Specifications section of the product page on the Wayfair site. I don't know where the "Shelf 44cm x 80cm W" comes from nor the "Individual Compartment 44cmH x 44cm W". Mine measure 33x79x27 in the interior. I also note that the Dimensions state that the bookcase is 27cm deep when in fact that is the internal shelf measurement whereas the exterior is 29cm deep. As I bought it to go in a specific space between two doors, it was important to me that it should measure 27cm, not 29cm. However, the most disappointing feature was the thin coat of what seems like undercoat that leaves all the knots and stains of the wood visible and basically just looks grubby. I have had to repaint it so it doesn't look like a shabby junk shop find - and given the price, that's really not something I'm happy about. Otherwise, all that said, it's a decent sized bookcase that will give me much needed storage. However, given the delays in delivery, time to put it together, failure to match the specification and grubby looks, I won't be rushing out to buy another.

Shabby and flimsy for use and size of [product. Fixings incorrect size and different size to each part of bookcase. Had to buy more glue and dowels because of splitting. could only use 2 parts because of weight problem. Not at all happy, Wayfair service good product bought from them RUBBISH.
