Great little bookcase that's perfect for my son's nursery. I placed baskets on the shelves to store his toys in. The espresso colour is lovely, but definitely redder than what you would expect "espresso" to look like. Great colour, nonetheless. I love the x sides, which gives the bookcase a unique look, something just a bit different from the boring, average bookcase. Overall, love it! For the price, you can't go wrong with this. The reason I give it 4 instead of 5, is because it's a touch wobbly once put together.
