On the hunt for a bookcase

Can anyone tell me where you found your bookcase for the nursery? I had a huge debacle with the one I ordered from JCP and now Im bookcase-less and in a nesting frenzy. I found a couple at Target that might work but the quality just seemed so-so (am I wrong, Target bookcase buyers?). Im hoping to stay in the $100 price range but Id be willing to spend up to $300ish for a really nice quality one. Im looking for a mid-tone brown if that helps (a little lighter and less red than cherry)

    Have you thought of purchasing an unfinished solid wood one? You could get one for less than $100, it would be solid, and you could stain it yourself to match the color you are going for. 

    FWIW I did buy a bookshelf at Target like 6 years ago, and it still seems to be ok! Granted, it is a smaller bookcase (2 shelves) that doesn't hold the bulk of our books) but still. I've also had one from IKEA that does hold the bulk of our books and was $30. It's definitely starting to show its age, but it still works for now.

    Overstock has some good ones. But I don't even want to spend $100 if I don't have to, so I'm still looking. Smile

    For DS #1, we got a decent one for $50 but that place went out of business, so I'm still on the hunt.

    I've been looking at the JCPenney Hartford collection because I want something with a matching bookcase - do you mind if I ask what the problem was you had with your bookcase? It may prevent another future problem! Thanks!

    If you have a Pottery Barn Outlett near you, try to check there.  I got a great bookcase for only $75!  You never know what you'll find:)  Good luck!

    Every bookcase we found that would work in LO's room was alot more than we wanted to spend. Sure he'll have this for a long time but we couldn't justify spening that much money.

    Went to a couple of unfinished furniture stores and the quality was awful. So between dh and I we put plans together to build exactly what we wanted.

    So a visit to home depot we got everything we needed and spent less than 75.00!
