As a shopping writer (and a general shopper), I love to browse. To me, scanning retailer websites for the best deals and new finds is like a form of social media — it fills my cup! And let’s face it, making our homes look like places we love can be overwhelming when shopping online — there’s a lot to see. It’s hard to decipher what’s worth buying and what’s a total scam, especially when it comes to furniture. Luckily, that’s where I come in.

After scouring some of our readers’ favorite stores for interesting finds, I have to say, some big retailers have really elevated their home section’s style! I’m talking about furniture that looks expensive for less and has great reviews. After thoroughly sifting through Bed Bath & Beyond, I was beyond impressed with this Margo Mid-Century Modern 3-Tier Bookshelf by Simple Living, which has over 1,000 five-star reviews and looks so chic!  

What Is the Simple Living Margo Mid-Century Modern 3-Tier Bookshelf?

The Simple Living Margo Mid-Century Modern 3-Tier Bookshelf isn’t your typical bookcase. With its three tiers of open shelving and stylish brassy accents, it’s just as much a piece of decor as it is a spot to show off your favorite books, trinkets, and accent pieces. Made from high-quality MDF wood and supported by solid wood legs, this bookshelf is built to last — so no worries about it breaking apart or looking flimsy when it arrives. Plus, since it’s made from MDF, it’s lightweight and easy to move around.

Yes, the bookcase requires assembly, but that’s actually a bonus if you’re short on space — it’s way easier to maneuver before it’s all put together! And with seven different finishes to choose from, you’re sure to find one that matches your home’s vibe. It also comes with warranty options for two, three, or five years, so you can feel extra confident in your purchase.
