Fabulous bookshelf! It took my daughters & I just under an hour to assemble (we went slow so we wouldn't mess us up) I saw another review stating they didn't put on the very bottom piece (footing) it order to make it more stable & I'm glad I didn't put it on. Even though it has wall anchors, it is very large & HEAVY! I'd hate for it to tip over onto my girls- it feels very stable now.  They're using it as "apartments" for their Littlest Pet Shop toys & it's working perfect! (better than a miniature dollhouse) The only problem we had was tipping it upright into place- it almost buckled in half! Make sure you have good/even support along the sides while flipping it right side up (you assemble it upside down).
