This bookcase is great - took no time to put together. I bought for a corner of a bedroom to put a 28" HDTV on and it is perfect! The open back allows the wiring for the cable box and TV. The wall shows through keeping it from looking too heavy. Books  are on the bottom shelf  and some decorative items with the cable box. This is plenty sturdy enough for what I needed. The quality is good for my use and for the price I am quite happy with this.
