Default Bookshelf sale at officemax

they have (3) 5-shelf bookshelves for $80. Great deal, they look fine, and are EXTREMELY easy to setup. I put all three of mine together in 1 hour, thats with individually carrying them upstairs from my garage each time. for this price, you cant beat em.

Good find Dave, thanks. Going to OfficeMax tomorrow. How would you say the build quality is on these shelves? Sturdy?

the quality is as good as any of the other less exspensive bookshelves out there, plus it is by far the easiest to put together. they hold all of my magazines pretty easily, and i keep all of my magazines, so several shelves are full with no shelf sagging at all.

Thanks for the reply Dave, gonna take a trip to OM today. Would you say that the quality is on par with Ikea, or better?

Ive never been to Ikea, sorry, just a single guy. but unless you are looking for really nice looking stuff (which you shouldnt be at 3 for $80) i think it looks very presentable.

sorry i couldnt help more

No prob Dave... Ikea has pretty okay stuff at very reasonable prices, I'm assuming that the shelves are probably the same... I'll find out after work today. Thanks for the help.

Those have gotta be particle board at that price. If so, with magazines on them, they're gonna sag big time before too long.
