Ok ok product

It is always on deal price 4k,never get fool by that.
To assemble definitely need someone with experience,these screws will screw your mind like anything,but once everything in place it looks good and product height is really big.

What I didnt like is the quality of wood(?) material,it is fragile like,you can make a hole through and through by simply some pressure from scissor edge or some sharp objects,and please dont keep water or any liquid inside or near. If they leak or spill the whole material on that particular shelve becomes swell and get weaken further. Even while cleaning mopping floor with water never go too near this furnithure.

So if your plan to buy this for not making big hole in pocket meanwhile expecting short life of furniture(may be whole one or two year) go ahead and buy.

But if you are person goes for longevity of furniture and best quality better buy original wood from local market.

Average bookshelf by DeckUp, not recommended for heavy books.

Lord of the Steels ™

Reviewed in India on 6 October 2019

I had purchased the Deck Up book shelf with the sole purpose of storing up my ever evolving collection of graphic novels and comics. Quite a few of the oversized hardcovers like the Absolute and the Omnibus editions of DC and Marvel needed a new shelf and thought of going for this book shelf.
Well, unfortunately, though the book shelf does look pretty neat, the sturdiness isn't quite there. The load of the books has caused the shelves to bend a bit, which in turn makes the sliding glass doors coming out of the channel. I have somehow adjusted the glass, but it does requires special care if I need to open them. It is obvious that these book shelves from Deck Up isn't suited to take the load of heavy books. A couple of lighter books and maybe some showpieces, that'll be ideal to store in these shelves. I guess in the price segment of 4k to 5k, one shouldn't expect more.
Lookwise, the shelf is decent enough and the walnut shade goes with the rest of my furnitures in the room. These are shipped in compact long boxes and needs assembly at home. The company doesn't provide free assembly. They do have a tie up with Urbanclap and charges for the assembly is approx 300 bucks. I would definitely recommend this option as the assembly does requires a person with more than average skill set and technical know how. Due to my back issue, a friend of mine volunteered to assemble it for me. Even though he has a good experience in such stuffs, it took almost 45 minutes to get the book shelf assembled. All the necessary items and manual required for assembling is included in the package.
Overall an average bookshelf, I really doubt if it'll survive the tests of time. Recommended for light storage only.

Stylish premium look cuboard

This bookshelf looks stylish and adds beautyto my bedroom.

Plywood used is soft and easily compressed wood sawdust falls if we try to screw its hard with screwdriver.

Durability is doubtful but yes i like it.

Assembling took me more then 02 hrs and i made some mistakes wherrein it consumed more time to assemble.

Some tips

1 dont let it come contact with water.

2 try to use some marine ply protector to keep away from termites, as i feel it can easily welcome termites.

3 put thick bedsheet below larts to be assembled to prevent scratches.

4 put glsss afyer final completion and assebling of cuboard.

5 i did it all alone but i will advise if available tk help of 2nd person to assemble it.

6 tk care while fixing screw and other accessories at right place else waste of time and unnecessary physical labour, time loss and energy loss.

At last when u see ur efforts the satisfaction satisfaction is limitless.

I just love 😍 my stylish premium cuboard

Assembly needs to be arranged

Delivery took some time as mentioned during purchase. There was a small chip scratched off on side panel, didnt send it back though.
Assembly is best done by a professional, or atleast by two people at home. Solo assembly required some props to hold parts in place during fitting. Glass panels seemed to be slightly smaller but fit in ok after completing rest of assembly.
Overall, fairly sturdy and looks good. Would have rated four stars but for the one inch damage on surface of side panel and lack of assembly service.
P.S: Saw price reduced by 500 bucks after I ordered, that was a dampner. Got it for 4999, VFM at that price, but there are better deals.

Product not as sturdy as it looks, lamination over it is of lowest possible quality,so by the time you are assembling it ,it will have 1000 scratches over it, assembling not at all easy for the first time , parts not numbered properly and lack of good vocal videos , placing almirah doors the most difficult part as not marked where to screw ,so the end result is pathetic either the door is shuting loosely or not at all.

The customer care is very responsive ,will contact you ASAP but not of much use ,will just ask you to believe in them and wait ,while the issue is being raised to other departments at most cities they don't have any help

At last I will only suggest if you plan on buying this product ,do only if they are providing to assemble in your location, otherwise it will result in waste of your money and once you have paid no one actually cares. Choose WISELY.

Quality of board could have been better

Abhishek

Reviewed in India on 9 November 2020

Update: Seller called and ensured about quality and for any support in future.

Not a very good quality product. Very sharp edges. Can be used with lot of care as board used it very fragile.
Before buying online check local market as you may get same quality in less price .
Assembly is easy but installation of glass was very difficult as the holder for glass is very less edge and glasses were keep falling while assembling. Had to take paid help from carpenter.

Low quality product - don’t buy

Sridharan Vembu

Reviewed in India on 3 March 2021

It’s such a fragile and low quality product that even 500 rupees is too much ! The packing of wood participles is so bad that it feels like a cardboard sheet. My 5000 rupees is down the drain

What followed this review was something I didn’t expect - someone from deck up has contacted me , inquired about the feedback and offered to do partial refund as a way to make up for the lesser quality product . While that’s not exactly the reason for me writing the review , it’s a rare gesture. Next time, make sure you focus on product quality so you don’t end up doing such refunds

Good product and excellentr support.

Took 4 hours to assemble. However, once you get the hang of it, it is easy. Mirrors are loose and do not fit, you move them too quickly and they will pop out. However, DeckUp offered to get it checked. They offer good customer service.
Back boards are too thin. Corners are easy to damage.
Edit: After 4 months of use. I packed my shelf with books, causing the bottoms boards to bend under load, making the mirrors come out even with slightest movement. I removed 30% of the books and it is better now.

Ok Ok

Reviewed in India on 6 November 2018

The product is as per what is shown in the pictures.
All the parts are intact, instructions are ok, takes some time to assemble. Very difficult to assemble the glass windows as the grooves depth is less.
Very delicate and feel like it will break. I would rather spend more and buy a sturdy one next time.
Wood is very cheap quality and not durable. Got is for 5K Rs in lightning deals and not sure it is worth that much.
Some small damages here and there. Pathetic delivery service by Fedex.
