BRIMNES Bookcase, 60x190 cm (23 5/8x74 3/4 ")VeronicaI ordered this on July 6/25 and delivered on July 10/25. Why do I only received the rating request now. The bookcase is fine in general just like any IKEA bookcase.
Should not be sold as a bookcase. Extremely poor quality.AnonymousI have had 2 of these bookshelves for a few years now. Very soon after the purchase I noticed the outward bowing of the vertical sides, although shelves were never overloaded. Yes I keep books on them, it is marketed and sold as a bookcase. But I never went over weight capacity per shelf. Yes, both units are secured to the wall. As of now, the shelves are finally falling out, the vertical bowing is that bad. Also, the shelf support pins are an absolute joke.
Do yourself a favour and save yourself a headache down the road and skip this embarrassingly low quality item. It's probably my worst and most regretted ever IKEA purchase.
Bought 3 created a wall of storage!AlexI had used the online room builder to picture three of these up against a wall. I am impressed with the amount of storage space and organization that I have gained in my small 8x9 office. These units are all side by side and many have commented about how I have a very impressive wall unit behind me while on calls. When I was thinking of purchasing this, it was key to know how tall the units are, as I don't have a consistent ceiling height due to HVAC structures. After looking at this in the room builder I made the decision and I look back and can't be happier about the end result. Shelf strength and adjustability was another consideration, and the unit is holding up really well with the weight of books that I have on it as well as other display items and bookshelf speakers.
handsome unit with drawersAnonymous reviewerlove that there are two drawers to hide things - fairly good size - there's a funky bit with the drawers and reinforcing underside where the screws aren't prepped properly, but the drawers are good and the shelves roomy
GreatGurjeetIt was easy to assemble and I loved it. It’s spacious
Excellent Versatile PieceCynthiaGreat shelf with drawers. Looks terrific side by side... in twos or threes... like a wall unit. Love this! One of my favourite IKEA pieces in my home. Easy to assemble.
Multi-purposeCynthiaTwo side-by-side fit perfectly in the small reading room in my condo. I display books, picture frames on the shelves; I use the drawers to store art supplies, picture albums, my candle collection, and throw blankets! Bonus: easy to put together.
storageJaniegreat for art space supplies are always visible
Perfect piece for my small space at the cottage. DoraThis piece was perfect for my small space at the cottage it has drawers and shelves that are very helpful in my space. It was simple to put together and looks great in the space.
Love it whole wall setupAnonymous reviewerWe bought two of these with the two other glass doors and tv stand. We mounted our tv to the wall. We bought this due to a leak in the basement and needed to have everything entertainment on one floor. Best decision we made. The unit looks so beautiful. Well made and when put together it’s perfect!!the drawers are deep and big enough for misc and the shelves fit the photo albums. My dad is also on the other shelf where he can be with us. Quality is great and has stood the test of my cats. One likes to walk the top but soon won’t be able too. Warm and welcoming and I have got compliments already!! I had no problem putting them together but I am a hands on person and for me I love putting my ikea items together. This whole unit is perfect and I’m very pleased. We are all. Great investment.
Perfect fit for an odd spaceMarkBetween my bathroom sink and the wall is a fair sized space, but what kind of furniture works in that space? Well, this baby was perfect! It looks great and functions well. It was easy to assemble and was delivered to my door. What more can I say? I love it!
Stylish bookcaseCatharineI bought two of these to have on either side of my living room window. Very stylish looking. I love the drawers to hide things in and the shelves give ample space for book/pictures/ or Knick knacks. I have received many compliments from friends.
BrimnesDorothyVery sturdy. Shelves are deeper than a regular bookshelf. Drawers are great.
Perfect for university student JenniferEasy to assemble and good quality. Perfect for a university student setting up for his first apartment.
Good but needs more improvementMukeshThe product is good but needs improvement like:
1. Hinges and board needs to improve quality and strength
2. Should have a little bit more width
3. The drawer channels needs to improve in quality to handle daily wear and tear
4. The boards are weak and needs care during installation.
5. Installation is time taking due to too many screws and at times is confusing
Beautiful LauraThis was easy to put together. Beautiful piece of furniture
Great addition to any roomPhoenixLots of storage space with two big drawers and the adjustable shelves. Easy to assemble and very lightweight for moving into the right spot. Perfect for a bedroom or office holds lots of books and decor.

Material
What is particleboard?
Particleboard is made from recycled wood and sawmill leftovers – so wood pieces with the wrong shade, woodchips and sawdust become a resource instead of possibly being discarded. We use boards for things like bookcases, bed frames, sofas and kitchen frames. To protect from wear and moisture, we apply varnish, veneer or foil that adds to the furniture's look.
