This bookcase is JUST what I was looking for - it's as beautiful as the pictures, and completes my mid century modern living room.  Note that it is not finished on the back, so it does need to be placed against a wall .. but this does not detract from it's beauty.  I used task rabbit to assemble, and it was done in an hour without any hitch. This is a very reasonably priced piece, and you won't regret purchasing it!
