Furinno Jaya Home Adjustable Shelf Bookcase

Ordered two of these for my bedroom, shelves are ok but only 1 of the 2 shelves contained build instructions. Not all holes are pre-drilled leaving you screwing into bare wood and praying everything lines up at times (I installed part of one shelf incorrectly and had to redo it). I’d also recommend making sure you have these against a wall since they’re pretty light weight and can be easily knocked over. Pretty solid 3.5/5 – they’ll work, and they look nice once built.

This storage unit it pretty good quality and allows for extra storage when assembled. you need to be careful when putting it together or the screws will pop out the other side since the wood is pretty thin. though after putting it together i was able to carry it by only the top so it stays together when built properly. It was a quick setup too!

Easy to assemble. Not great quality but perfect for the price.

Excelente producto, lo arme muy facil y llego a tiempo
Lo malo es que ya no pude comprar mas porque esta agotado

I can finally update this one. I’m increasing review to 5 stars with details to follow. They have very polite customer service members. They are slow. And apologized each time for the delay. I can’t put that all on them because honestly I just expected them to ignore the request and never respond. So pleasantly surprised.
They actually responded to my follow up email. It was confusing and I thought they were sending me a label to return it. And then the next time I emailed back because they forgot or it slipped out before they sealed the package the little tiny dowels. So I had to wait another week for it. Both times the packing was superb. Guys. It blew my mind. They took care of it like they were sending it to grandma.

This time I waited to get a 2nd pair of hands to help hold it steady for assembly. It’s solid. It’s sturdy. And I’m very pleased with the end result. Between the excellent service and the care taken in mailing the replacement items without making me even pay s&h? Full stars.
I forgot to add pics after assembly so just showing on its planned home (another shelf).
The backing piece unfolds and held together with tape tape when unfolded. I added extra tape along with the middle to help for long term. And I colored over the small gap with black permanent marker to avoid the light coming through being obvious. That is something I’ve learned over previous years of diy.

It’s been just over 2 weeks since this was delivered. I started assembly the weekend it was delivered. As part of the instructions, you assemble the various items in a specific order. I’ve include a closeup of Step 1 & 2 where you have the middle part of this bookshelf (the “H”).
The steps aren’t complicated, but they could use more details.

The line in the “H”, requires 4 wooden dowels to be connected, and those in turn to be connected to the end pieces. I cannot stress how delicate they are until its all stable. Well, at least I assume it will be stable. I’m still waiting on the replacement parts. While connecting the 2 outer edges to the dowels, the wobble factor was under anticipated. I’m embarrassed to admit that the dowels broke instantly when the 2nd one was attached, and I’d let go of the other side. Picture the attempt – trying to save one side, and the other side also becomes precariously balanced, and end up both becoming unstable.

I was able to remove 2 of the broken dowels, and I might have been able to salvage the part “G”, but the other side, the 2 holes are completely filled. I don’t have a drill, and even if I did, I’d need the 4 replacement dowels.

I’d have paid extra to have it delivered fully assembled — why isn’t that even an option?
Anyhow – if you end up like me just needing something on the smaller side to help corral some desktop clutter, the feel of the parts is well cheap, but I’d think they’d be stable enough for the weight specified. The all black will hide a variety of sins. I even bought screw covers after reading in the reviews that would have been a nice touch to make it look nicer.

The cons:
–Pet peeve, always the directions are really light on details. And why do you have so many items to do in each step, instead of separate steps?
–Well, Amazon directed me to the website product support of the manufacturer. It wasn’t too difficult to fill out the lengthy questionnaire. Just be prepared, I recommend if you’re on your phone, switch over to pc or laptop.
–Timeframe for responses – took a week for them to respond, asking for more photos. I responded today, so guessing it will be another week for them to respond, either with another question, or a request to pay for the shipping & addtl parts.
–Length of time waiting – I’m this close to throwing it all out. Waiting so long for this to be resolved is annoying. Do I salvage my time, and wait, or do I throw it out now, and buy something else for the more instant gratification? $40.00 isn’t a deal breaker, but still, in this economy? You don’t want to just throw it away no matter the irritation.

The Pros:
–The price is fine. I’d have paid more for it fully assembled. Why isn’t this an option? that ANYone offers?
–Items are lightweight, and as described. The material is pressed wood, so it does ‘feel’ cheaper when you look at it.
–While I did complain about the instructions, these are better than many I’ve seen, in that the size of the photos could be easily viewed.
–Each of the items were clearly labeled – this is something that is often missed, so kudos to the manufacturer – very neat and organized.

Summary
Well, this is one of those that I have to wait & update. If there isn’t too much more of a delay, and the parts are replaced with only cheap fees, then I’ll likely be happy and upgrade the review.

For now, I’m on the fence with rating. Part of this is on me (I didn’t fully understand the directions, and when it started to fall apart, overreacted when fumbling to save it, and items broke). Why can ‘t I go with half stars?
