I wish I would have listened to the low star reviews on this one. The picture makes it look much nicer than it is. The black screws that hold it together on the sides come with cheap white stickers to adhere over the top, which just looks bad. Then the back is broken out into pieces per shelf rather than a whole board - this becomes a problem when the pieces JUST fit, so the nails splinter through the shelves (and, yes, is very visible). Also, there is a serious chemical odor that hasn't dissipated 24 hours after having built it. Actually, now that I'm writing this all, I'm changing my 3 stars to 2. 
I also didn't know it was a glossy finish rather than matte, but didn't take off stars for that - stars removed for being cheap, hard to put together (you need to drill holes into the thing to build it) and for smelling so awful.
