Color in Grey?

"Please make the 18 inch bookcase available in grey! It's nice to have several sizes, but 25 inch is the only one in grey."

Easy to Assemble & Functional

"I bought this in white for my bathroom a couple weeks ago. It was super easy to put together and looks great, not too bulky - fits perfectly between two of my windows! I would definitely recommend this shelving unit!"

Perfect for us - media center

"The piece is well made in terms of finishing and sturdiness (considering the design of course).
We had a corner for media storage and nothing seemed to fit withouth obstructing the area, this Book case did the trick. Media storage in the 1st 2 shelves worked great for us, but it was tricky to hide the cables.

Great bookshelves

"I bought two of these after moving into a new apartment. They are wonderful because they are so light and airy compared to the traditional enclosed bookcases. In a small living room they don't weigh down the room, we absolutely love them. They were also very easy to assemble."

Nice looking but leaves marks on walls

"I purchased the Sloane Espresso Leaning Bookcase and Wine Bar. Since they are leaning on my walls, I've noticed brown marks from the bookcase finish on my walls. I'm unable to remove the marks. Crate and Barrel does not sell or provide any wall protectors. This item is nice looking but will mess your walls up."

Good for pictures

"This bookcase is good for pictures and knickknacks, but not wide enough for a printer or fax machine that needs to go with the computer (if that is what is called for)."

I love this bookcase

"After buying the Sloan leaning desk, I knew I wanted to buy a similar bookcase for my books, music, and movies. I love the simple design of these pieces, and the 18 inch width of the bookcase is a perfect fit for my room. This is perfect for me as a recent arrival to a new city, as I may need to move to new apartments each year. My one complaint is that the sides of the shelves provide little support for books: tall or short, they are always slightly tipping over the edge of the shelves. Prepare to either buy book ends or line your books up perfectly with the main side pieces of the bookcase."

Good balance of quality for price

"There are tons of these leaning ladder shelves out there, but most are cheap and flimsy. Yes, this is a bit more $, but in exchange you get great quality and something that is easy to put together and sturdy. It is also worth noting that it is the only place I could find that had one this narrow (18")."

Great piece for the price

"LOVE this bookcase! Also purchased the desk piece and it has changed my office for the better. I can see everything and it helps me to keep organized and clutter-free in a small space. Hassle-free shopping, delivery, and assembly!"

Great BookCase

"I love my Sloane Espresso Bookcase, my husband who is a finish carpenter by trade was so impressed with the quality of this product he decide this was the best piece I have ever purchased. I like that it is small but can hold everything I wanted. Plus it is so very sturdy I am not worried that my son or pets will knock it over. Love It."

Super for small area

"We have decorated our Arizona almost fully with C and B furniture. We had previously purchased a TV stand but decided to put TV on wall. These 2 bookcases "framed" the area perfectly plus added some storage area. Easy to assemble too!"
