The bookcase is decently put together. the instructions mention that the top shelves are not designed to hold too much weight (whatever weight that may be) so if you have heavier books, or other items, use the bottom shelves or search for a stronger, more durable case. the corners of the glass doors were all beat up and scratched (which i covered up with a wood color marker). on the bright side, the glass front doors make the case look nicer than it really is. overall, this was an okay purchase.
