This is a beautiful, sturdy bookcase.  It really added a nice touch to my living room.  It was well packed and arrived quickly.  The downside is, it is a real PAIN to put together.  The screws strip easily so don't use a power screwdriver. They also are hard to put in. I had to press really hard for every single one.  There are about 50 or 60 screws. It took me about 7 or 8 hours to put together.
