Sauder Palladia 3-Shelf Bookcase, Select Cherry Finish

I had previously purchased pieces of this set for a spare bedroom and loved the look. So when my son in college transferred to a new school closer to home and moved back in we went back to this set for his room. The set is strong, sturdy, and has the look of more expensive factory assembled furniture. Assembly is easy with a minimum number of tools and the instructions are easy to follow. Yes, ladies, some of us guys do read the instructions! :-) Out of seven pieces of furniture purchased I had a screw missing so I contacted Sauder. The customer service person I spoke with could not have been nicer and was in the USA! I got my missing screw a long with a touch up pen for the asking. With 4 boys we have purchased a number of you assemble furniture pieces over the years from a number of manufactures and I have to say I find Sauder the best built and designed of the bunch. On top of that the furniture is made in the US by Americans! I would not hesitate to purchase Sauder again and I recommend this company.

The library will be used to display pictures and mementos on the open shelves and books in the lower section. Packaging was outstanding as all pieces arrived without damage. Directions were very good, especially with the packaging of the hardware in individual pouches. The following are two suggestions to improve steps 16 and 18: There are two shelves (H) and Moldings (Q) so make the statement plural. Also, I had to remove one of the angle brackets (5G) when installing the lower shelf (H) in step 18, maybe because I chose the middle hole for the metal support pins. Perhaps a note to remove and reinstall the pins on one side after the shelf has cleared the angle bracket.
