I was happy about getting this bookcase for stor6and organization in my sewing room. I wasn't expecting a lot especially with the lower price point but that was ok. But I will say I do expect no matter the price a piece that is not damaged! I usually don't have any issues with my purchases and just decided that this really wasn't worth me returning. So I put it together which was very easy and really didn't take much time at all. Box was not damaged in delivery so not sure why there was damage to the item.
