Sauder Clifford Place Library Base, Grand Walnut finish

Solid and practical. Took awhile to put together, but instructions were good. Packaging and shipping time were excellent. Good quality for flat pack furniture. Pricey, but what isn't these days.

Product looks high quality and is sturdy. Was a giant pain to assemble. My husband who is extremely handy and does woodworking and professional automotive work even said this thing was a bit of a nightmare to put together. Besides that, I’m surprised at what good quality it is. Looks like the photo!

Sadly this is not as nice as I had hoped. It’s not wood veneer, just cheap looking plastic laminate. Exactly like IKEA’s cheaper lines. After all the effort to build it, I won’t return it but it’s just okay.

This is a gorgeous piece! Excellent value for the money. Very easy to install, just take your time and follow directions exactly. I actually bought this to use as a small coffee bar in a tiny space. It looks magnificent and hold my ice machine and coffee pot. Has held a larger coffee pot previously, but the ice machine won for space. This is a very sturdy piece. The drawer works perfectly and the cabinet has more than enough storage. The piece has some heft so you may need help getting it inside and even moving it once it’s put together. The brass poles have held up well. I would definitely consider this for a library, but it’s serving its current purpose beautifully. The veneer seems to be holding up very well and hasn’t scratched so far in 3 months, and it appears to be sturdy solid wood underneath.

As a DIYer, I appreciate good instructions. This product gets 5 stars for that. Every single parts were labeled and well coordinated with the instructions. The instructions were well written. Kudos to whoever wrote it. Any average consumer with a screwdriver will be able to assemble it. It took about an hour for me to assemble it. It looks very nice in my entryway. We used it to store our shoes, keys, wallets and misc. Here comes the quality. I think for the price, it’s good, but could be better. The veneers looks good, but seems thin. I feel that it won’t be able to withstand heavy use. It comes with some wood effect stickers. We supposed to put it over some of the exposed hardware. There are two problems with that. One is , the adhesive is not very strong. It comes off almost right away. Two, some of the exposed hardware protrude beyond the surface causing the sticker to not sit flush. Lastly, the material used for the drawer bottom is very flimsy. It doesn’t feel like you can put anything too heavy in it. This particular piece was delivered dammed. However the damage was small, and not worth the time waiting for the replacement. For that, I just want ahead and install it. To add some straight to the flimsy and damaged part, I added wood glue around the grooves. Overall, I still think it’s a good buy. I want to give it a 5 stars but the veneer, stickers not sitting right and the drawer’s bottom bothers me a lot. Good and almost perfect.
