This bookcase was bought for my mother who recently moved into a living facility.  We needed something small that would fit into her new space.  This bookcase fit our needs perfectly!  It looks really nice.  And best of all despite it smaller size holds a lot of books.  Win win for us!   Because it is a shorter bookcase we were able to use the top of the case to display pictures and different decorative pieces.  This was a great find.
