Love the way these bookcases look. I have a lot of reference books in my office. These shelves provide a nice way to back the books in tight on the left side and still keep the shelves looking stylish with with decore on the right. The only reason for 4 stars is because several pieces on one of the shelves (I ordered two sets) had small chips. Luckily with all the books on the shelves, they are difficult to see.
