Not bad for the money but you get what you pay for. Fairly straightforward instructions but unfortunately quite a few of the fixtures didn't fit in the allotted holes correctly so it didn't fit together as tightly as it should. There are small gaps between the outer body of the bookcase and the individual shelves as a result. I put this up solo and I'm fairly new to DIY so maybe someone with more experience at building these type of things would have more success.
