I bought two of these to flank a large stone fireplace. These were easy to put together and very sturdy. Some bookshelves feel wobbly and you just don't want to move them, but these are not like that. I would've given them five starts if the veneer looked just a teeny bit more authentic. From across the room they look like solid wood, but up close you can tell it's MDF covered in plastic. Still - for the price these are great, and I liked that they weren't hard to put together.
