Aestheticly speaking it's a pretty bookcase. One of my side panels was damaged upon arrival which is a bummer but I'm not interested in sending the whole thing back so that's on me. It was fairly easy to assemble. The wall anchoring system involved zip ties which is both ugly and stupid in my opinion so I chose not to anchor it. With all my books on it is pretty steady though. The back panel is flimsy and cheap so I chose not to put it on either and just use the wall as my back.
