I really love the look and function of this book shelf.  It is multi-functional with the drawers, shelves, and doors.   Didn't take too long for my husband to put together.  One piece did come broken but we were able to glue it together.  It is not solid wood (obviously, look at the price) but it is heavy duty--need two people to carry.  The shade was a little off.  Slightly more light tan than cream/off white.
