Once I got it assembled, it looks great and is the perfect size for my small office/library. However, the assembly was difficult, and some of the screws do not stick well into the wood, like the pre-made holes are too big for the width of the screw,  so some of the shelves are just sitting on the screws and are a little wiggly. But I've never had issues with it falling or being unstable, and it is loaded with heavy books. Looks very classy and is very convienient storage.
