Love this bookcase. I bought two, and both came undamaged with all parts included. It took me maybe 90 minutes each to put them together, and I did it alone. The one step where you place the top section on the bottom section is a little dicey without help but not impossible. The directions were easy to follow if I took my time and followed them closely. I love the way they look (I bought white) because the faux wood finish hides any imperfections and looks classy. The backing is a thick try-fold, not cheap cardboard, and looks great once installed with books and such in front of it. I would definitely buy them again.
