I bought three of these to replace one open shelving unit that just wasn’t doing the trick anymore. I specifically wanted a bookcase that had drawers or doors so I could store some items (crafts supplies, extra decor items, books I don’t want to put on display, etc) and these are perfect. Easy to assemble, although the bags that the hardware is in are labeled a little confusing at first (one bag will have 2 or 3 different pieces of hardware) but after I build the first one, I was able to build the other two very quickly. I’m a bit on the small side (5’4) but was able to do these on my own, even the anchoring bit. However, I do have a power drill with different bits and it was definitely easier to build these with the drill. I think if I had to do everything by hand, it would have taken longer and might have been a little annoying. But again, I bought three, just one would have been quick I’m sure.
