VASAGLE Bookcase

This arrived in a compact box, all parts were there, and it was easy to assemble. However, nothing in the instructions prepped me to expect 3 different lengths of glass. Two glass pieces had identical lengths, one was about 0.75 inch shorter, and the other was about 1 inch longer. Frame openings appeared to be the same size, so I was not anticipating this. I then swapped a few of the glass pieces and realized the longer piece fit perfectly on top, and the shorter one fit a bit better on the bottom shelf (although there was still about a 1/8 inch gap between the glass and frame on both sides). Fine. Fixed. Next, I put all my display pieces on the shelves (weight was evenly distributed), and tested the stability with a little nudge, and this thing jiggled like jello. Yes, they provided some anchors so that you can make this safer, but I wasn’t planning on using them since I don’t have kids or cats. I bought this particular shelf to save myself a trip to IKEA, but honestly, the IKEA glass etagere that I had prior to this was much sturdier and not so easily destabilized. I’ll keep this one since it’s not in a high traffic area, but for this price, I would recommend the IKEA equivalent instead.
