This sturdy and attractive bookcase arrived in only a few days. I couldn't be more pleased. The middle shelf does accommodate heavy books, and the 32 screws were in tact in my order. The rubber feet were already installed in the legs, rather than a separate item as listed in the instructions. The bookcase is very easy to assemble, and everything is included. A rubber headed hammer would be helpful, IF the side metal pieces do not immediately slide into the crossbars. I would recommend screwing the screws for the 3 shelves in halfway first to be certain the threaded inserts in the shelves (beautifully done) line up. I am an academic with tons of books and I am so pleased to find this well-made and handsome bookcase.
