This product looks really nice in our house! Set up took a little while, but was easy. This case is really sturdy, the boards are heavier than your standard particle board book shelves that you buy cheap from places like Wal-Mart. I think this case will stand the test of time, the weight of books and other decor, and so on. The color in the picture is a little off from what it actually looks like in person. The picture appears more white in color when it's really more of an off-white creamy color. Still really pretty and a really great product for the price.
