Great in green !Anonymous reviewerThis large bookcase stood out for me while looking for a wardrobe for my daughter in Ikea Ashton-under-Lyne. I liked how the calm matt sage green of the main carcass contrasts with its pine shelves. It's a sophisticated and unique look.
The assembly instructions advise two people, but I'm 64 and did this with perfect ease by myself. In fact I quite enjoyed it. Only slight negative after building it was having to drill three holes where they should have been but were not. One for the 'roof' panel of the bookcase, and two for the bottom shelf where they were missing for the metal supporting pegs to fit. I'm fortunate that I have a shed full of tools for every eventuality, but someone else might not. I very happy with the end result however and I'm sure it will last for many years.5
GreatAnonymous reviewerIts a great bookcase. Definitely a 2 person build but otherwise fab. I need to attach to the wall as its a bit wobbly in my outside room. It can't go anywhere but I'll feel better once it's stable. I have another bookcase i bought over 20 years ago that's the same make. So this green one will hopefully last as long. So Definitely a great buy5
HEMNES BOOKCASEAnonymous reviewerLovely Bookcase sets off our living room. Purchased 2 of these bookcases, self assembly easy to put together. Really nice addition to complement the rest of our furniture.5

Great solid shelves, look good and simple to assembleAnonymous reviewerWe got a pair of these to replace Billy bookshelves in our living room. They were easy to assemble and look great.5
LoveAnonymous reviewerBought three items in this collection to put across a large wall. Assembly was simple needed two due to the height of the unit, really happy5
Classy and sturdyAnonymous reviewerI love the combination of white and wood, which gives this an unusual and individual look, rather than looking very 'IKEA'. Nice and tall, fits a decent amount of books. Feels sturdy which is more like what IKEA used to be like 20 years ago rather than the mostly flimsy, cheaper-looking bookcases sold now. Pleased with this purchase and have now bought two.5
Looks very good, does the job very well.Anonymous reviewerA straightforward looking assembly task proved as easy as it first appeared. Finished item looks very good indeed - way better than its price would suggest - and perfectly matches the Hemnes Glass door cabinet we bought at the same time. Very pleased with this purchase.5
Sturdy piece of furnitureAnonymous reviewerVery pleased with this and love the colour5
Perfect in my officeAnonymous reviewerThe book case matches the small desk that I need for my box room office. They look lovely and the white and wood contrast brings some interest to the furniture5
Beautiful, solid bookcaseAnonymous reviewerWe are so pleased with our purchase. The bookcase looks perfect and is extremely solid. Would highly recommend.5
Brilliant, but...Anonymous reviewerThis is a brilliant book case that looks smart and lifts the room, but... wanting to buy matching furniture in the Hemnes range is difficult - the green colour, which I love, has not been available in most of the range - have been trying to purchase a half height cabinet since shortly after purchasing 3 matching bookshelves - and it is yet to be available - which is really rather frustrating. Please make more of the range available in this colour.4
Attractive bookcaseAnonymous reviewerThe bookcase looks lovely. I had to rebuild it as I made a mistake at an early stage, but it stood up well to the rebuild.5
Incomplete manufactureAnonymous reviewerBe prepared to drill some holes yourself. OK when assembled but there is no quality check before dispatch.3
A lovely coloured shelving unitAnonymous reviewerWe purchased this lovely shelving unit ready made up from the clearance section at IKEA in Exeter. We loved the space between the shelves and the colour was great. The only thing ‘wrong’ with it was a chip on one of the legs at the bottom which we figured would be hidden near enough by the carpet. It was a new product and we saved £60 on buying a new one plus, a big plus, someone at IKEA had assembled it and checked it over.
It is a good size, bigger than a billy bookcase and just right for my husband to store his radio controlled cars on.5
A great bookcaseAnonymous reviewerI was looking for a quality bookcase for our new house and Hemnes looked like it would fit the bill. It arrived quickly and did not disappoint. It oozed quality, is well made and went together like a dream. The sturdy shelves provide a good depth, to take large and small format books. In all I am very pleased with it . It looks good and does its job with style.5
