We've had these for a few months and just adore them. They look great -- and far more expensive than they are -- and are very functional, too.

The Helix Bookcase is Great
Date:02/22/2013
I recently installed the Helix Bookcase and I love it. Good value for the price, the design is super simple and clean and the wood shelf pieces are fairly heavy. I bolted it to a brick wall and it is helpful to have two people for installation but overall very simple.

I bought this shelving unit after looking for a while and they are perfect! The shelves are very sturdy and it was easy to put together! I put everything together in about 45 minutes (including mounting) and love the way that the unit looks and functions! I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I was looking for a modern bookcase for my bedroom and I finally found it. Great design, well built, easy to assemble and mount to the wall. I do wish there were other veneer options other than oak, as I prefer a darker wood like walnut. Another quibble is that is a single metal support (one left and one right) centered for each shelf which means that if you have an uneven heavy load on a shelf, the shelf can lean forward or backward. Minor issue as the remedy is easy by keeping the load centered. Overall, great bookcase, highly recommended.

Review 5 for helix white oak 70 wall mounted bookcase
I purchased a couple of these bookcases to go along with the wall mounted desk/shelf, and it looks really great on an open wall. It was actually not too hard to install either - I was worried I'd need an extra hand to stabilize the shelfs, but I was able to install on my own.

Review 6 for helix white oak 70 wall mounted bookcase
This bookcase is exactly what we were looking for to put in our living room, which is a combination of mid-century modern and contemporary. It was pretty easy to assemble and install, seems very sturdy, and looks great!

Review 7 for helix white oak 70 wall mounted bookcase
I purchased two bookshelves and the desk. They all arrived quickly and were very easy to assemble. The quality is there and looks great! The open design keeps the eye continuing up and doesn't close off the open look I was going for.
Unlike other models by other stores, I like the metal option and direct connection to a wall. They shelves are not going anywhere.
One thing I would recommend. On the desk, it would be nice to have a hole for wires. Mine is up against a wall and I had to drill a hole to help keep things cleaner.

Review 8 for helix white oak 70 wall mounted bookcase
Combines open space feel with excellent storage appeal. Plus not easy to topple as it's firmly affixed to wall. Fits almost all decors in my humble opinion. Am planning to buy the staircase one if I win a gift card for the review!

Review 9 for helix white oak 70 wall mounted bookcase
I have 2 Helix bookcases and 1 Helix desk. I love them. And I love that I can always add on another one if I want. They're really flexible... very solidly built... and super easy to keep clean. I love that the bottom is open, so it's great for vacuuming or "swiffering" under. My Helix shelves are filled with photos, old memorabilia, and some books and magazines as well. Everyone that has come over has asked us where we got them. They look great and were super affordable. Highly recommend!

This bookcase is absolutely wonderful. I love that it is not the typical bookcase, in the sense of it has more negative space and still leaves the room feeling open. The finishes are perfect and can match just about anything. So happy I made this purchase!

Review 11 for helix white oak 70 wall mounted bookcase
We've purchased Helix bookcase and desk, which arrived really well packed and in a great condition. Units are well made, modern, sleek, and great for the small space office we installed them at. If you like a helix bookcase/desk, don't think twice and just buy it. You won't regret it.

I can't say enough about these shelves. They are perfect for the office and aren't chunky like so many other shelves. They look light and airy but hold quite a bit of weight. Can't beat the price too!

I have a very long front hallway and decided to use the wasted space as storage/display area. I bought three Helix units and they fit perfectly. The clean, minimalist lines of the product complement the modern "soft loft" design of my condo. I knew that Helix was the solution for me, since several years ago I bought a black and silver unit for my kitchen. It's versatile and easy to assemle. Highly recommend it!

Review 16 for helix white oak 70 wall mounted bookcase
I bought three of these units and also the matching desk unit for a guest room. It looks great except for a couple of small details. My floor is a little uneven; so, I couldn't get the shelves all to line up seamlessly. I also had one electrical outlet right in the way of the bottom shelf; so, that particular bookcase sticks out just a fraction. If you're a perfectionist, these little things might bother you, but I'm still very satisfied with how it all looks. With items on the shelves, the little imperfections are not really noticeable. This is a unique product and I haven't seen anything comparable anywhere else.

Review 17 for helix white oak 70 wall mounted bookcase
Fantastic wall mounted storage that looks much more expensive than it is! I bought two of these and have a cool wall mounted light between them. The fact that this is wall mounted makes it a bit lower profile and so it doesn't stick so far out from the wall. Love it!

We recently purchased a 2nd one of these bookcases and now our office finally feels complete. They both came in perfect condition and installation was super easy. CB2's quality, style, price point, and quick delivery will keep us coming back for more!

I love the shelves, I ordered 4 and had no trouble putting them together by myself. The Veneer on the bottom of the shelves is lighter and appears to be Birch and not Oak, but it doesn't bother me, it probably keeps the price down. My only issue was with the included drywall mounts, neither me or a male friend could get them all the way into the wall, and I ended up buying different mounts at a hardware store. I would recommend not even trying the included mounts as they leave large holes that are then hard to deal with. But overall they look great and I love them!
