No judgment on the quality of the deal versus normal price, but if you're going to go for a fake wood bookshelf, you might as well go for a $37 one at Target. Is this one better? I sure hope so. Is it $120 better? I sure doubt it.

This deal is a joke. Listed MSRP is worse than a joke, it's a blatant lie.

These products have their place in college student homes or people moving that might need temporary items shipped disassembled to a new location but that's all it is good for. Temporary use.

If you really want good furniture at a great price, don't buy this stuff. Go on Facebook marketplace, your local Goodwill, or Habitat ReStore. You may not get everything you want on the first trip but there's PLENTY of opportunities to get real wood furniture that will outlast this manufactured stuff 10 times over if cared for properly. Instead of creating more landfill, repurpose items that are of real value (and could probably be had at a better price).

I found our dining room table in a Habitat ReStore. I bought it for about $65. It was solid wood, not laminate or "engineered" wood composite. When I got home, I researched some stamps on the bottom of it and found about a 5-10 year window it was manufactured in over 100 years ago. I sanded it down and refinished it and it is gorgeous.

Not everyone wants a project piece and not everything used will be one. Just look for real wood and you will always be better off than any material, "engineered"

Pressed wood with veneer. Ok deal at this price for what it is. Over time it will bend under weight and blemishes are forever.

Just go to Ikea and get a Billy for cheaper or Hemnes for better quality, plus the fact that you know you can get another matching one down the line or come up with some "Hacks" easily

If you assemble it right, it's actually very sturdy and looks really nice (many negative reviews say it's very loose, not my exprience at all). I got a deal on one of these few months back, and i regretted why i hadn't grabbed 2. It's best to assemble with 2 people. So if you need it and fits the budget go for it, just do the assembling right.

^ Especially for $160. That will buy almost *any* shelving unit at an estate sale, garage sale or thrift/antique store. Probably with change left over.

Haha, if it helps, my comment was intended to be generous to the aesthetic and structural reliability of the bookshelf and not the low-expectation of anyone's life expectancy
