i purchased 6 of these to install in my living room along one wall.  in the past i have built custom millwork but due to the size of this wall and cost prohibition, i went with an assembled product that i could use in a custom way.  i had read the 50+ reviews from others, and am pleased with the product.  packing was excellent.  it arrives double boxed so even if the outer layer experiences damage the interior is still safe. nothing was damaged.  instructions were very easy to follow, all pieces are clearly marked.  assembly per shelf does run (including unpacking the box, taking inventory, and actual assembly) about 90 minutes.  as others commented, the color is a "cool" white with a blue undertint versus a warm creme white. i would recommend.
