It is the perfect size. Wasn’t hard to assemble. The box it came in was beat up but the bookcase inside was in good condition except for a chipped corner. We found the chip and I glued it back in place. Looks good. When we peeled off the stickers that said “top” the paint came off too. I had white paint and was able to paint over the spots and you can’t see them unless you know where to look.
