While the bookcase arrived in good condition and seems to be what I am looking for in terms of a bookcase, putting it together posed a few problems. How the creators expect you to put this all together with simply a regular screwdriver (which they supply) I have no idea. This gave me trouble at the end when I had to attach the cabinet doors on the bottom. They had predrilled holes for the first set of screws and none for the second set, so I had to get a drill and drill my own holes. The cabinet doors don't completely close as there is still a gap in the center though I have adjusted them several times (at risk of stripping the wood of the door) to no avail. This will do for now, not perfect, but suits its purpose.
