Great Product
Perfect bookcase for our New York City apartment. Really space efficient and a chic piece of furniture that fits our books perfectly. Really good quality and I know it will last us a long time. Highly recommended!

Great Leaning Bookcase
I had been eyeing this bookcase for a few months, wondering if it would be of good quality since it was so cheap. I finally bought it, and I love it! It is a great place to put all my cookbooks near the kitchen.

Functional and Versatile
We had planned to build custom shelves on each side of the fireplace in our small living room, but when I got the idea to use these instead, we realized we would save money and can take them with us if we ever move. I was skeptical that they would look cheap once installed, but I was wrong. They look fantastic! I am so please with the overall quality, easiness to assemble, and sturdiness. Highly functional and versatile for any room.

Should have bought years ago
After a couple of years of trying to find something similar to this bookcase, I finally realized that there wasn't one better than this one. It is sturdy and looks great.

Sturdy & Attractive
Love this bookcase--an excellent value. It's sturdy and attractive. I didn't even need to attach it to the wall (though the hardware is included if you want to use it). Because the topmost shelf on this leaning bookcase is only 4" deep (too shallow for books), the other four shelves offer plenty of storage space. I was even able to fit my small printer on the deepest shelf (14") on the bottom.

Love it!
I love this shelf! It's simple yet modern. I was very surprised at how easy it was to assemble. Instruction manual and tips are also very user-friendly, compared to other cheaper furniture places. Cost is high but definitely worth the price, in terms of material, instructions, and overall look. I was afraid the shelf would look awkward by itself but it's not to bad!

Just what we wanted
I had looked at these bookcases online many times and finally decided they could be the perfect solution for housing books and music in a new room. They are! They were relatively easy to assemble. The finish is exactly the crisp lacquered white I'd hoped for. The bookcases are sturdy and solid but the lines are clean and contemporary. Since they don't take up much floor space, they could fit into the spaces where we'd planned to use them. I love that they are not attached to the wall and can be moved to other locations if we want to rearrange furniture at some point. Great design.

Well designed and stylish
purchased two of the leaning sloane bookcases in white. Absolutely love them. They fit perfectly in my den. Well built and very stylish. Very happy with my first purchase with Crate and Barrel.

Unique Bookcase
We purchased one of these book cases and found that we had room for one more, so I ordered another and have attached the two together. We have them in our finished basement to hold trophies & misc items.
My next thought is to add a small flat screen TV and place it one one of the shelves, so that we can watch TV while working out. The book case unit was easy to assemble and appears to be well made. This is the third item we have purchased from Crate & Barrel for the basement. The other being a white console for the entertainment center.

Nice but had construction issues
So excited to get this bookshelf. Was very impressed with the packaging of fasteners and solid construction of the pieces. HOWEVER, I discovered that the holes for the screws/washers were not aligned properly when using the wooden dowels. If I aligned with the dowels, then the screw hole was not centered. If I aligned with the screw hole, then the dowel holes were not aligned. So, I opted to remove the dowels and use the screws only. I was very frustrated and angry at what should have been a properly aligned and machined connection.

Great for small spaces
This little bookcase holds a lot of books without being too encroaching. Just be sure to anchor it to the wall. The leaning design makes it bottom heavy (obviously) and putting a lot of heavy books on t will make it slide.

Better in person
On a recent trip to C&B I had no distinct purchase in mind upon entering the store. Roaming around the store I saw the Sloane White 18 inch bookcase. It was instantly a must-have for me. When I saw it was available in the larger size for just a little more I decided to purchase - impulse buying is not something I usually do. I love the clean lines, the white finish, and the simple yet modern look to it. To my surprise it fit in my small economy car, brought it home, and assembled fairly quickly. It looks great in my home and I LOVE the decision to get it. The only problem is deciding what I want to put on it!

Opened up the Room.
So happy with this purchase! We originally had a very heavy, clunky black bookcase that just weighed down the whole room. We found this one and loved how suspended it felt and light. Yet it still holds everything we needed on it. It's open, light nature really softened the feel in the room.
It also reminds me a bit of an easel, and being an artist, it just felt sleek, casual, and artsy.
An unobtrusive way to get things off the floor and bring them to eye level, without installing a bunch of shelves.
Love it.

great quality
I bought this for our bathroom and love it. We have limited storage in our small bathroom and the vertical storage is perfect for towels, toiletries, perfumes. I also bought the glass canisters and love the combination. Easy for one person to assemble.

Beautiful piece but slippery bottom
This piece was very easy to put together and looks great in my space. The only reason I give it four stars instead of 5 is that once I got all my books on it, the base began slowly slipping away from the wall on my tile floor and the rubber feet that were stuck to the bottom just slid off. It required some extra work and adhesive along the bottom to get it to hold my books without sliding away from the wall.

Great for small spaces
This bookcase is great for rooms with constrained space. I needed a bookcase for a small bedroom and this was the perfect fit. Sturdy construction, holds a ton of heavy books.

Great bookcase
This bookcase was easy to assemble, even with just one person. It looks great fully assembled. One thing to note, in order to hide all the screws, they are in small areas which makes tightening them a bit tedious, but definitely worth it once you're done. Have patience the day you assemble this!

Excellent quality & beautiful design
This white bookcase was my first C&B furniture purchase. And I absolutely loved it!
The bookcase came in 1 box 1 day earlier than estimated delivery date (my apt is in their local delivery area.) The bookcase looked exactly the same (if not better) as what you saw here on the website, and it was very easy to assemble. I could barely lift a queen mattress but I put together this bookcase in an hour all by myself.
I am vey happy with the purchase. It worths every penny and looks fanfastic against the white wall in my studio.
