On one hand, it's a pretty good dupe of the Nathan James dupe of the CB2 bookcase, especially for the price, on the other hand, it has a number of visible screws and the sides are two pieces of metal screwed together versus one long piece and the joint is obvious. That being said, it's a fraction of the price of the other ones so you do get what you pay for. It's in my son's room so I'm fine with it.
