A little on the pricey side for a book shelf, but feels like a great quality piece that is going to last.  In a world where every piece of furniture you buy feels like it is made of fake wood, this bookshelf feels quite sturdy (although I'm sure there is some fake wood in there somewhere).  Only real negative is that you need to screw it into the wall (it isn't deep enough to stand on its own) so make sure you have a drill.  Putting it together is very straightforward, though it takes a little time to put the 40+ screws in place.  One very minor point is that if you get the traditional wood color, the yellow letters tend to blend in a bit.
