Using this for displaying collectables...good quality wood..pretty easy to assemble..they say you need 2 people but really I think you only need yourself for assembling..what the itemized description of this item doesn't tell you is that the shelves from above and below of center shelf are adjustable as well which was a nice surprise for myself..I'd highly recommend this product for anyone who is in the market for a sturdy, nice looking bookshelf that can hold many things in each compartment.
