I have three other bookcases that fill up about 85% of one of my bedroom walls. I needed two more narrow bookcases with the same finish. These match perfectly to an ikea bookcase and two walmart bookcases. The only thing that was a tad disappointing was how much shorter it was. But that was my fault since I only checked the width of the item. They are narrow but I was able to put 4 thick hardcovers on one shelf after getting rid of one of my shelves and two rows of about 10 paperbacks each. As you can see they are the two on each side.
