I read most of the reviews and it was rated sturdy, however, this bookcase is not made to be placed on carpet.  It wobbles and will easily tip over.  Overall, I love the bookcase, design, and for the price is decent quality.  I got purchased the dark taupe - love the finish, very versatile.  Would work better to on flat, solid floors...

Pros: Versatile, good quality
Cons: Not made to be placed on carpet or uneven surface
