DeckUp Plank Cove Engineered Wood Book Shelf and Display Unit Cabinet ( Set of 1 ,Wotan Oak and White)

This is very good concept of DIY in these times. No hassle of entertaining third-party just to get it assembled.Having fallen in love with the same model which we had bought earlier from Craftos Eva (which seemed like just a different name of Deck up), when we wanted another one for a similar purpose, couldn't find anything better at this price range of around 5-6k with this quality. This seemed to be the best right now in the market.It comes with an Allen key along with all the screws, nuts and dowels to assemble it.However, having a rubber mallet will help putting the pieces together, but not necessary. It just makes life easier. Also having a power tool like a drill with the right screw driver bit helps hasten things by driving the joining screws in quicker, but again nice to have and not necessary of you've got the time. You can screw them in using the given tool by hand.The labels of the various pieces are just pieces of paper stuck on to the surface which has the tendency to fall off during shipping. And the instructions are not extremely clear. So, I'd suggest not to completely rely on the instructions sheet and would recommend watching a video of its assembly and a bit of common sense will help.Having the experience of putting together this same model earlier which took more than 2 hours the first time by relying only on the instruction sheet and common sense, I could finish assembling it this time in 1 hour flat. It's all about getting to know the engineering. Once you've gotten the idea of the overall engineering, it becomes easy.The wood is of good quality and very sturdy. Will hold a bit of weight, but we won't be testing its limits. The wooden veneer/laminate with the natural wood pattern on this one looks quite classy and gives a premium look. However, one gripe, albeit a small one that I had was that the corners of the edges don't have the perfect finish. It is barely noticeable from a distance, but at close proximity, you can see the veneer not covering up the wood underneath at the edges. Very minor detail, so wouldn't really call it a negative at this price point.It came in a very nice packaging which was compact and well cushioned with thermocol. So no damages in transit. The delivery was hassle free. Asked the delivery person to leave it outside our door and we could bring it in ourselves. So, no-contact.We had ordered the light coloured one, but received dark brown with a wooden grain which we liked, so kept without returning. If you're particular about the colour, keep this point in mind. The seller is very proactive in following up, so I get a feeling that they might address your concern promptly as well.If the stuff that you are storing are not very tall (check the dimensions, the shelf height is quite a bit), then I'd also recommend investing in a vertical shelf divider. It literally doubles your storage capacity by giving you more surfaces to store on.Overall great value for money if you're looking for a bookshelf/cabinet. Go for it! (y)

Aesthetically pleasing and good quality, easy to install product

I ordered this last month. This is a detailed review of the product after using it for 15 days.1. Delivery: The delivery was swift. I got the product from the seller on the scheduled day without any hassle whatsoever.2. Material: The material is actually impressive. The colour of the panels is the same as advertised, no tricks there. The wooden panels (Shelf bases, side panels, doors) are much stronger and thicker than what I had expected. However, the back panel wood is very thin. A child can punch a hole through it. The glass panels are of very good quality, obviously very fragile but of impressive quality. The open shelf does not come with a beam, unlike the top 2 closed shelves. so, it may be used for lighter objects, not for carrying heavy things like microwave oven, i would say.3. Installation: The installation is definitely not easy. DIY products usually take 30-40 minutes to assemble, which is fun. But this one took me 4 hours straight and multiple cycles of disassembling and re-assembling. The installation instruction manual is elaborate and very well drafted. However, some steps can be moved around and done first before the actual assembly. Example; the beams can easily be fixed to the shelf bases before assembling the product. The most critical step is attaching the glass panels in the slots. I just could not fix the glasses by following the instruction manual. They kept falling by the slightest disturbance. Using cushions/ pillows while fixing the glasses is highly recommended. Ultimately, I had to assemble the entire shelf without the glasses securely and make it stand upright. After that the glass doors could be slotted in, first by inserting the panel into the upper slot and then by gently aligning it with the lower slot and letting it come down to its place slowly. It should be kept in mind that the inner panel should be inserted first, then the outer one.Now that I have been using it with all its features for 15 days, I can surely say I am highly satisfied with the product.If you are looking for a multi-purpose book shelf, you must go for it, however, get help before trying to assemble.

The product was delivered ahead of schedule. It came well-protected in secure packaging. I also ordered an assembly service, which was carried out well and completed two days after delivery.The product is excellent for the price—looks classy and modern. It has good storage capacity and the quality seems solid. It looks exactly like the picture.

Very nice shelf that can take the weight of books & more. Looks elegant and provides plenty of storage in minimum space. The only thing is it's a DIY kit so if you're carpentry challenged then this might not be for you. But once made, it looks very good.

This is a fully imported product from Malaysia. Same product is available with Nilkamal, Home center with obviously higher markup ;)First 2 shelves have glass sliders. 3rd one is open and last one has a magnetic lock.Quality is good but self installation could be tiresome, it's better to book installation service.
