Sturdy, handsome book carousel

"This item is pricey but beautiful - solid wood, nicely finished, with a well made turning mechanism- lovely addition of more compacted book space in my study. One drawback is that it’s a bit more complicated to construct than advertised. The instructions are good, the parts are well made and fit nicely, but it took 2 hours to get it together"

Beautiful piece!

"Love it! My only disappointment was they wouldn't sell me all but the top piece, since I'd bought one when they said the carousel was being retired. I would have thought something could have been worked out."

Quality

"Solid wood, quality construction"

Tall shelf for carousel bookcase

"I do like the quality of the wood. You did NOT MENTION that it needs to be assembled !!!! The directions are not particularly helpful. This is the only of the SEVERAL ITEMS I have ordered that came to me like this. I never would have ordered it if I had known. . I do love your products, but this is the ONLY disappointment I’ve experienced with you."

Beautiful table

"I really LOVE my round bookshelf WHICH I USE AS A COFFEE TABLE !!"

— FRAN E. (5/5)

Sad.

"The base arrived right away. I have yet to receive either of the two bookshelves themselves. It’s a bummer. This was a Christmas present for my invalid husband. I deserve at least an update. I feel neglected and negative on ordering a gain from Levenger!"

A Unique and stunning Piece for showing off your b

"I purchased the entire Carousel when it first came out many years ago, and have never regretted it. The natural wood is gorgeous, and the tiers rotate easily. It fits easily into any room. Have never regretted the purchase!"

Lovely products, back order & communication issues

"The bookcase is gorgeous but be prepared that there may be a long, unexpected wait for delivery that may not be communicated to you until after you place your order."

Lovely product, long wait & mediocre communication

Q&A

Bummer that you offer a product that cannot be expanded.
For safety and stability reasons, we don’t recommend expanding the bookcase beyond its current configuration.
Already have 2 tier bookcase in dark cherry. What does it cost to add another layer?
We do not offer individual shelves for purchase. The bookcase is sold as a complete unit only, and additional tiers are not available separately.
Are extra shelf tiers available for purchase if - for instance - someone wanted to have three shelves instead of two?
We no longer offer the shelves individually and do not recommend adding additional tiers to the current design for safety reasons. The maximum configuration is four levels total — the base, two shelves, and the stand.
