Is it durable enough to dis-assemble and re-assemble, or does it (like some bookshelves) have parts that won't stand up to that?

I think it would be fine. It was surprisingly easy to put together, so I'm guessing taking it apart wouldn't be any big deal, either. It's only a few hex screws.

It is sturdy and I think re-assemble would be possible. However, it took several hours to assemble and I can't imagine wanted to dis-assemble it.

The chair probably could be taken apart a few times before the wood would be overused and the screws might loosen. I have had this chair on my deck in New Mexico sun, and it has been a dream to use. I have a canvas cover for it and have noticed some fading on the wood that is constantly exposed. A good tung oil application will bring the chair back in the spring. Keep in mind we have 360 days of sun and I am at 5000 ft. It is a great buy for the price.

I would not disassemble the chairs. I think if you did so and tried to reassemble them, you would not get a very tight fit which could cause the chairs to squeak.

Yes! I was able to put it together in about 5 - 10 minutes. We have had it for 6 months, we've switched it's location twice and it is still holding up beautifully.

Frequent assembly/disassembly might be a problem since there are so many parts and they fit quite snugly. But boy is it durable. I bought two. Well worth it.

Although it looks quite unsturdy after you see for yourself how it all went together, even with the shelves full of stuff, it hasn't yet actually looked like it would ever fall over, although the heavy stuff is on the bottom. BUT if there are ANY small children or disabled or elderly people in the house, I would NOT recommend this bookcase. The top half WILL easily separate and fall on anyone who pulls on it a little too much. And it could separate and fall over if someone bumps into it too hard or falls against it.OR, as the previous answer states, you really should fasten the top half to the wall or something next to it. Whatever would hold it up best.

Shelves are pretty sturdy and can hold quite a bit, however as a whole the structure isn't. Almost broke it carrying out of the apartment when moving out as it's it's susceptible to being twisted/arc when held from both ends.

Very little assembly. The wood of this bookshelf is very strong. We have over ninety cook books on the shelf. It handles this weight better than I expected, shelf is strong and no "wobble" at all.

I would caution about overloading. Yes, it is sturdy, but that is greatly affected by the total weight you place on it. I have two of these. I believe if every shelf was fully loaded with books and someone gave it a good shove from the side, it would collapse sideways, tearing itself apart. You notice that illustrations show it empty or with the fabric drawers. the manufacturer intended it for medium to lightweight storage, not as a bookshelf. It might hold the weight well for a while, then fail when additional stress is added. This unit is made from wood particles pressed together with glue, then covered with a pretty coating. It does not have the strength of solid wood. I would caution about overloading. Yes, it is sturdy, but that is greatly affected by the total weight you place on it. I have two of these.

Yes it can be dis-assembled but I wouldn't do it too often since it is made of very thin materials and over time the parts may get bent,stripped,or otherwise damaged or lost.

It's surprisingly sturdy. The two adjustable shelves are about 1/2 inch thick. We have it in our hall bathroom holding bathroom-y odds and ends, which are pretty light. I would say it's about as heavy-duty as those bookshelves that you could buy at a big box store.

Yes this is very durable! The wood is solid and thick. Personally we love the top part. We use every inch of it to store dishes and accessories.

I reenforced ours. It held the weight pretty well but it tended to lean forwards where we have it placed. It is a very sturdy shelf and will hold plenty enough books. I can upload a picture if you would like to see our shelf full of books.

I've got every shelf (except for the top, most shallow one) filled with a mix of books. It's held up fine, with very little wobble/no tipping at all. This is without the wall attachment, meaning I've just got it just leaning at an angle against my wall.

I have it loaded with my sports collectables and it's sitting against my living room wall. There have been no issues with it. The bookcase is heavy and sits stable on my carpet. I would order it again.

I use it as a shelf in my room. From what I understand, you are putting it in a smaller space in your pantry? All I can tell you is that it seems quite durable - I've had it for about a year now. It has a printer sitting on top with a lot of my supplements. iHome, Ps4, Xbox, 2 gallons of water, cleaning supplies, and a subwoofer on the bottom. If you build it correctly and don't over "screw" the screws, it should last you a while, regardless of what you put on it. Ask me anything else if I really overshot your question and went on a tangent!

Yes, it is a remarkably sturdy book shelf and very well made. My husband is a retired architect, and he was impressed with the looks and strength. A little difficult to put together, but worth it. It has a mission-look and the wood is clean and tight.

It does not come assembled. I suspect it will hold a printer. My is piled high with books right now and showing no strain.

Our shelf has not broken yet. We have it attached to our porch railing so it can't be blown over. We have flowers on it. It is holding up well. We did not see a warranty.
