I really like the look of this desk / bookcase and I wish I could give it a higher review. 

However, the directions were hard to follow when putting it together. In one section of the directions, "C" had a lip while in the other section, "D" was the piece that had the lip. I was not sure which piece was for which place, which made it take a long time to put together.

Additionally, when I received the bookcase, the lip was not fully connected to the flat desk piece. There was a slight gap between the two pieces when they should've been fully together.
