This bookcase is adorable.  That being said, it is not up to normal KidKraft standards.  The item came scuffed up, with big black marks across some of the boards.  One of the boards was also split, to the point that I had to use clamps and wood glue to put it back together and make it work in lieu of having to return such a bulky item.  Quality control for KidKraft has gone downhill recently - this is not the first issue we've had with an item in the past few years.  Such a disappointment!
