While it only took me about 30 minutes to assemble the bookcase (by myself), this thing was a hassle and a half. This bookshelf is incredibly unstable, as other reviews have mentioned (although I do have mine on carpet so a different floor surface might yield better stability). I decided to use the included L-bracket to mount it to the wall. However, the included instructions were beyond unhelpful. They did not specify what size drill bit to use for the included anchor. After several tries and much frustration , a 3-8” (three eighths inch) drill bit was the one I needed. Additionally, I’m also not convinced I actually received the product I ordered. Wayfair advertises this as the Phaneuf Corner Bookcase by Wrought Studio. However, what I received and built appears to be the Alice Bookshelf by Decorotika. Overall, while it looks nice, it was an incredible pain to put together and the quality of this item is definitely not worth the price I paid for it.

There are no pilot holes if you want it facing the opposite way from the photos, but it can be done. Mounting to the wall is a little tough with baseboards and on carpet it needs to be secure to the wall. The bracket they provided did not reach all the way to the wall so we had to improvise.

This shelf is garbage. The smallest “wood” part that screws into the bottom is over an inch too short. As a result, I have to use a wooden block so the shelves can stand up. Can’t use the shelf where I intended. You sold me garbage!

It’s a little wobbly and I haven’t anchored it to the wall yet, but it fits my space perfectly. One of the shelves was slightly damaged, but not enough for me to want to return the whole thing.

Love it! Fits just as I hoped in a narrow space by my closet. It wasn’t very difficult to assemble, but I would recommend a drill or electric screw driver. Lots of screws!! My hands got very tired. But worth the result.
