Our take on the Costway 5-Tier Bookshelf with Open Back

The Costway 5-Tier Bookshelf is a freestanding open-back shelving unit about 24.5 inches wide, with six shelf levels counting the top. The open back keeps it light and lets it sit against a wall or stand as a room divider. Assembly is required, and parts carry a 90-day warranty. At $40.19 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, it is the only new price we track across two stores, so it is the floor for this model right now.

Questions and answers

Is $40.19 a good price for this bookshelf?
It is the lowest new price we track, $40.19 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, across two stores. At that level it is a budget buy, so judge it as a cheap utility shelf rather than furniture.
How much weight can each shelf hold?
Costway does not publish a per-shelf rating for this model. Owners report it handles paperbacks and decor but sags with dense rows of hardcovers, so keep loads light.
Does it need to be attached to the wall?
It is freestanding and does not include a wall anchor in the listed specs. For safety in homes with children or pets, anchor it to the wall yourself, since open-back units can tip.
How long does assembly take?
Expect roughly 30 to 60 minutes with two people. The parts are basic and the instructions are thin, so sort the hardware before starting.
What are the dimensions?
The unit is 24.5 inches wide, with six shelf levels counting the top. Check the depth and height on the listing before buying, since they are not given here.
What does the warranty cover?
Parts are covered for 90 days. Keep your order confirmation, since the window is short.
