CSN Product Review

About a week ago, I posted about an upcoming CSN product review. I decided to review this bookcase from CSNbookcases.com. I submitted my order on Friday the 16th and received the bookcase on Thursday the 22nd. I didn't get home until late that night, but I convinced my boyfriend to help me assemble it immediately. (Technically, I didn't need his help since there was no heavy lifting involved and it didn't require any tools to assemble. But I wanted to take pictures of the process, so he put it together while I documented each step.)
This is what the package looked like when it arrived.

 Here's my boyfriend opening up the package - notice how there was some padding to keep the bookcase from being damaged.

The frame was already assembled, so we just pulled the sides out and set it against the wall.

The bookcase came with instructions for assembly, but we actually didn't need them. We saw the wicker panels, the screws, and the nuts and figured it out. The screws and nuts attached the panels to the frame in the back, and then the front of the panels hooked into metal slots. 
Here it is fully assembled. I like that it can be folded up easily by lifting the shelves and folding the sides in. This will come in handy for our next move!  

Of course, once it was assembled,  I was itching to add some books to it. I've decided that I am going to use this bookcase to store all my to-be-read books. It's really nice that my other bookcase is no longer overflowing!

The bookcase is sturdy and holds all of these books. Here's the view from each side so you can see the details on the frame. I like how the shape of the iron kind of looks like an "S" for my last name, Super! 

Thanks again to CSN for the opportunity to review a product! I love my new bookcase.

How cute is that! I love that it looks delicate and little but is able to hold all those books.

Looks like a great bookshelf. I must have missed that one when I was picking out mine :-)

I need some new shelving - my book collection is getting out of control! I'll have to check them out :)
