Complete Care Guide
Light Requirements ▼
- Bright, indirect light promotes healthy frond development and lush green color
- East or north-facing windows provide ideal growing conditions
- Tolerates lower light conditions exceptionally well
- Perfect for offices with fluorescent lighting
- Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the delicate fronds
Watering Instructions ▼
- Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings - very forgiving of inconsistent watering
- Water when top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry
- Use filtered or tap water - less sensitive than many houseplants
- Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot
- Reduce watering frequency during winter months
Humidity & Temperature ▼
- Average indoor humidity: 30-50% is perfectly adequate
- Temperature range: 65-80°F (18-27°C) with good temperature tolerance
- Adapts well to typical home and office environments
- Benefits from occasional misting but not essential
- Tolerates temperature fluctuations better than most palms
Potting & Fertilizing ▼
- Use well-draining, standard potting mix - not picky about soil type
- Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent waterlogging
- Feed monthly during growing season with diluted liquid fertilizer
- Repot every 2-3 years or when roots become very crowded
- Slow growth means repotting is infrequent
Air Purification & Maintenance ▼
- Naturally purifies indoor air while adding tropical elegance
- Remove brown or yellowing fronds at the base with clean scissors
- Trim brown frond tips with scissors to maintain appearance
- Wipe fronds gently with damp cloth to remove dust

Absolutely! Parlor Palms are among the most forgiving houseplants available. They tolerate lower light, inconsistent watering, average humidity, and temperature fluctuations much better than most palms, making them perfect for beginners or busy plant parents.
How large will my Parlor Palm grow indoors? ▼
Indoor Parlor Palms typically reach 3-4 feet tall over several years, growing very slowly. This compact size makes them perfect for homes and offices without overwhelming the space. Their slow growth also means minimal maintenance and infrequent repotting.

Completed by myself but 2 is faster
Color: Classic Cherry, Size: L:29.80" x W:12.99" x H:71.26", Color: Classic Cherry, Size: L:29.80" x W:12.99" x H:71.26"
This bookshelf was the closest to what I was looking for. My current bedroom theme is sort of a cross between medieval castle/Hogwarts mixed with Disney and anime. The bookshelf has the “fancy library” feel that I was going for and the nice rich color of the brown goes so well with the grey stone background of the wall. I would love to order a second one but my room isn’t big enough. The top half I use for the small handful of my favorite books “since I have a lot of books in storage” and the lower half of the shelf, behind the doors, was supposed to be for movies but I decided to store my video games there instead. There’s also plenty of room at the edge of the shelves in front of the books for small knickknacks.
The shelf is decent in sturdiness and weight and the wood is typical particles but still pretty thick. The cardboard backing was also easy to hammer on.
However, I do have a couple of complaints during assembly.
1) The cupboard doors need to be held exactly where you want them and either you need to have something hold them in place, or else have a second person hold them in place for you. Otherwise one door will scrape against the top or bottom edge of the frame, or there will be a weird gap between the doors when closed. Also, the back of the door handles have two little pegs sticking out and the cupboard doors have a little hole where the pegs should go. However, the holes are not aligned and the first time I attached the handles, one handle ended up being higher than the other. After a while, I had the idea of removing the handles and switching the doors. Once I did that, the handles were aligned correctly. But neither door or handle is marked, so there’s no way of knowing the handles won’t line up until you try putting the handles on. Bit annoying.
2) One of the final steps is to attach the trim to the individual shelves. If you look at the front of each of the two top shelves in my pictures, you will notice the thickness of the front edge. That is actually a separate piece of wood that needs to be attached. However, there are no holes to put the screws through. Instead there is a narrow opening that runs along the entire length like a thin trench. The screw goes through the opening until it reaches the bottom and then goes through the wood. Once they are attached, you can wedge the shelves into the bookshelf. However, if it turns out that the trim is uneven and there is an annoying gap on one side (which there more than likely will be) you CAN NOT unscrew it, readjust it, and screw it on again. That will split the wood. It happened to me with both trims. Now both trims tilt downward a tiny bit.
Other than those two issues, this shelf is great. I managed to assemble it myself but it took me nearly 3 hours and I was assembling it in a narrow hallway. Definitely would have been faster if I had help and more space to work but was still doable alone. Despite the setbacks, I still give this 5 stars. Mostly for aesthetics, sturdiness, depth of the shelves, and the ability to assemble it alone.

Generous Storage:** With a full bookcase on top and two doors below, there’s ample space for books, decorative accents, and office essentials. The combination of open shelving and enclosed storage helps keep the area tidy while still displaying favorite items.
Perfect Dimensions:** Measuring L: 29.80" x W: 12.99" x H: 71.26", it fits nicely in a variety of spaces—from compact living rooms to home offices. It doesn’t overwhelm a room and still provides substantial storage.
Solid Construction:** The piece feels sturdy and well-made. The materials and craftsmanship reflect Sauder’s reputation for durability, giving me confidence it will endure daily use for years.
Easy Assembly:** While any bookshelf can be a bit of a project, the assembly process was straightforward with clear instructions. The hardware and fittings lined up as expected, and it came together without issue.
Versatile Styling:** The neutral cherry finish blends with a range of color schemes—from rich burgundies and creams to soft grays and blues. It’s easy to accessorize with framed photos, lamps, and keepsakes.
Practical Features:** The doors on the bottom are great for concealing clutter, while the open shelves top show off favorites. The overall footprint is efficient for maximizing storage without sacrificing style.

Nice Looking Bookshelf... Lots of Work to Assemble
Color: Classic Cherry, Size: L:29.80" x W:13.09" x H:71.26"
I specifically bought this bookshelf because I already have the Heritage Hill desk and lateral file cabinet, so natually this is the one I wanted to add to my office.
LOOKS: This shelving unit has the same look as the other pieces to the Heritage Hill collection, so it fits in perfectly to the look of my office.
STURDINESS: I'm not a big fan of the side panels because are not one continuous piece. It definitely is not very sturdy while you are trying to assemble it (more on that later) but once it is fully assembled and secured to the wall it seems very sturdy. I do not anticipate any issues.
STABILITY: A wall anchoring bracket was included with the product, so when it's properly attached to a wall there will be no concerns over stability. They did not include a drywall anchor with the bracket, so unless you plan to screw this directly into a stud, you definitely need to have a drywall anchor on hand to use.
ASSEMBLY: This is where it gets a little frustrating. I am no stranger to assembling pieces of furniture from kits like this. I understand why they have chosen to use the hidden screws and L-brackets everywhere, but it does add time on to the assembly. It probably took me about 90 minutes to assemble this product.
The trim pieces that go on to the front of the shelves (around the sides, top, bottom, and fixed shelf) make the shelf look like a higher quality product, and the L-brackets you use to attach them have oval-shaped holes so that you can adjust the positioning of each piece of trim to make everything line up right. You can adjust the positioning so that you don't see any of the unfinished wood or have ugly gaps.
Or so I thought! This trick worked fine for everything except the 3 adjustable shelves which also have a trim piece that go on the front, but for the life of me I could not get everything to line up properly. I read this in other reviews so I was prepared to do some troubleshooting and adjusting, but I could not get it to look right, so I just left these pieces off. You really don't need them. It makes the shelves easier to more around and it still looks great. The directions offer some "hints" on what to fix. There was a 1/4" gap between the edge of the shelf trim and the edge of the trim going down the side of the shelf. So the directions tell you to adjust the side pieces of trim to close the gap. Well the problem with doing that is after you adjust the side trim then the other edge of it no longer lines up properly with the edges of the trim piece of the fixed shelf.
Another tip: You don't have to leave the thing laying on its back the whole time you are trying to screw in the hidden screws or the L-brackets. You can carefully rotate it onto each of its sides to complete the installation of all the trim pieces, and it actually makes it easier to make sure they are lined up properly to each other the first time. I was just careful doing this because it's not very sturdy while it's being constructed.
They also include a touch-up marker in the package as well that really is the same color as the wood finish. I had a couple pieces that had minor scratches on them, probably from shipping. I had great luck with the marker by just coloring in all the scratches and then rubbing all around it with my finger. One larger spot needed this done about 3 times, but when I had finished, I really couldn't tell it was ever scratched, especially at the "normal viewing distance" I would normally see it from.

Best DIY Bookshelf We've Gotten
Color: Classic Cherry, Size: L:29.80" x W:13.09" x H:71.26"
Just finished putting this together and we're fully impressed.
The product itself is exactly what it says on the tin, looks just like the photos. It takes a little bit of extra effort from your standard DIY bookshelf just because it has some extra decorative pieces, but we think it's worth it and that's one of the reasons we picked it out. Did have a MINOR bit of confusion since some of the decorative pieces weren't labeled, but they were easy to identify with the instruction manual.
Which, let me just say, this is clearly a company who has seen the problems in the DIY furniture industry and has actually taken HUGE strides to make the whole experience easier on the customer and make the product sturdier. There are no bamboo pegs that might not even fit into their assigned holes, no weird turn-to-lock things that may are may not be tight enough to not unlock themselves, no ten different pieces of tiny hardware that barely look different from each other, and NO ALLEN WRENCHES.
The entire piece can be put together with a regular screwdriver and a hammer (or just the screwdriver if you can't find the hammer and are determined enough, since you only need the hammer to tack on the cardboard backing); and because the structure's entirely put together with screws and because it's actually separated into two pieces, it makes the entire structure way more stable than your standard DIY bookshelf.
The instruction manual is also not only EXCEEDINGLY, PAINSTAKINGLY clear about which way each piece should be facing and what hole you should be screwing it into, spelling it out for you when they can't just point it out on the diagram, or sometimes even doing both; it also comes with a little pre-measured spacer that you can cut right out of it to help you center the moldings on the shelves just right.
And just as the icing on the cake, they also include a marker in the color of the laminate to fill in accidental scratches.
We are extremely happy with this bookcase, and we'll be looking at Sauder products for future DIY furniture needs.
