This bookcase is gorgeous it took me some time to get it together but I did and with a ton of laughter.  First of all don't get distracted, my daughter brought me French fries and that totally put me off course, well with timing, It is a sturdy piece and can be a bit heavy when trying to turn it over by yourself.  Like a goof I didn't nail in my back piece properly and when I stood the book case up, it was all kinds of crooked..lol.  But I laughed and then took it apart and did it again.  In the end its a beautiful piece, great details with the shelves and backboard.  It gives my bedroom some a great look, I love the country white farm house style color too.
