The bookcase is everything I expected. It arrived in good condition. It was easy to put together. I did most of it by myself, but it definitely needs 2 people at times for lifting, turning, or holding the long side pieces when attaching them to the base. I am a 70 year-old woman, fairly handy with tools and assembling things.
 The bookcase is sturdy and the drawers are roomy enough for my beading supplies. They also glide in and out smoothly. The color and finish are fine. The only thing I don't like are the little round discs you paste over the exposed screw holes-- they scream "cheesy." Wooden or plastic inserts would make this bookcase a lot nicer. I have it in my office/craft room, so it's OK. I expect the discs will fall off at some point. I'd buy this unit again without hesitation.
