I rearranged my living room and needed a new bookshelf to fit in an awkward corner and this fit perfectly. Just be warned if you live alone the box the shelf is delivered in is deceptively heavy so I needed help carrying it upstairs.

Upon opening the box I was a little overwhelmed by all the parts, screws, etc.  But by myself while watching TV it took me about two and a half hours to put it all together. The directions recommend two people to put it together but I was able to do it by myself with no issues. I would suggest if you have a hard floor to put a blanket, towels, or use the box to protect it while assembling. At one point you need to flip the shelf around laying on the floor to attach the other side of the shelf (if assembling as a corner piece) which someone might need a second person to help with if they are smaller or not very strong. 

Overall I am very happy with it.
