My husband, son, and I were impressed with the quality of this bookcase.  It is solid wood and very easy to put together.  I liked the 2 braces in the back that keep the backboard stable.  I painted mine and I plan to use it to showcase my Le Creuset which deserves to be shown off.  The instructions that came with the bookcase were very clear.  All the hardware was included plus a couple extra bits.  We paid $201 and a week later the price was lowered to $189 but, with free shipping, I'm not complaining!  All in all, we are satisfied and, I think it looks great in my kitchen.  I'm already wondering where I could use another one!  ;)
