the set of bookcases arrived without damage and well packed.  They are heavy and have the look of solid wood and fit in  well with real oak furniture.  We gave them a four star because we felt the construction would have been easier if the parts had been labeled with small stickers.  We ended up labeling the second set with blue painter's tape, the building process went much easier.  When constructing the shelves be sure to look as the small details on the illustrations.  Otherwise a great set of shelves that fit our needs.
