This is a beautiful bookcase with a touch of industrial! I absolutely love it! Assembling the bookshelf was a fairly easy task, only taking about 25 minutes from start to finish. The most difficult part was hunting down and gathering all of the screws that had spilled into the box when the bag that held them broke (through shipping I'm assuming) - luckily all were accounted for.  Overall, I'm very happy with this piece! It looks exactly as I'd hoped and will make for the perfect place to store a few books and display a few treasures in my office.
