Aesthetically and material wise it is a nice book case - however design should have considered that most people in North America have baseboards and included an extra hole and mounting to be able to attach to wall, luckily for me my husband is very handy and modified it by drilling a hole and placing a rubber spacer between the bookcase and the wall. Also there was a slight problem with the shelf alignment which he also corrected. After all that it does look very nice.
