Simpli Home Chase Modern Industrial Low Bookcase in Rustic Natural Aged Brown

I've been searching for some time for a new console for my office. I have size limitations that had made the search a bit challenging. When I first saw the Chase Low Bookcase, I was sold by the look of this bookshelf and crossed my fingers for the size. As luck would have it, it DID fit within my size limits! Most of what I'd found prior to this were either the look I was going for or the size I needed, but nothing was both the look and the size. Then I found the Chase Low Bookcase and it was both the right size and the right look. What a find! As for the bookcase itself, nothing is perfect, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons for me. Cons: 1) the drawer bottoms seem like they could be sturdier, but that's an easy fix IF it turns out I need something different in the future. 2) when I was unpackaging the pieces, some of the finishing seemed uneven or a little rough around the edges BUT as it turns out, none of the things I saw that raised an eyebrow are visible on the finished unit. The things I saw say that this is made by human intervention, and not just pumped off an assembly line, which makes me happy. 3) Some of the spots hardware needed to go are awkward to get to, but as a result, they're generally not visible once the unit is assembled, so it's worth it. Just give yourself some time to assemble it and know there might be an odd angle or two when inserting some hardware. PROS: There are almost too many to list, so I'll list the pros of this piece as compared to other furniture I've assembled in the past. I was genuinely pleased with the quality of the whole purchase, from the ease of the website, accuracy of shipping messages, delivery speed (even during our holiday season), the well done instruction manual, the orderliness of the extra hardware, the quality of the wood, the packaging to prevent damage... it was all thoughtfully done and of high quality. The price was great. The unit feels sturdy once assembled. The wood is beautiful and complements the design making for an attractive piece. I don't enjoy assembling furniture and am not great at it, but with their instructions, I was able to assemble it correctly the FIRST time! That's huge for me. Everything was well packed and great care taken to prevent damage in shipping. It was packaged in an orderly manner which helped me stay organized, and when combined with the thorough instructions... I never even considered walking away and begging someone else to finish assembling it for me! If I can assemble this piece, you can assemble it too! I chose to leave the back panel off the top half of the unit. My office is kind of dark and leaving the back panel off will keep some extra light in the room. So glad the panel comes in two pieces, allowing for the top to be used or not. Those details are so important! Thanks for thinking of them! Great purchase. 5 stars!

I bought the Chase Low Bookcase. The bookcase arrived very well packaged and was not damaged. Instructions were easy to follow and extra hardware was included which came in handy because I broke one of the cam locks. The bookcase looks sturdy and good quality. The feet have adjustable screws for unlevel floors. The drawers have metal slides and open and close smoothly. We chose not to install the optional back panel and it looks great! During assembly I found one of the pieces had a factory defect which rendered it unable to be assembled in that state. I contacted Simpli Home to ask for a replacement part. They did not have the part in stock but offered to come up with a resolution. Ultimately, the issue was resolved, the bookcase completed, and I was compensated for the inconvenience. They were very polite and professional.
