Love this bookcase, it is the perfect piece needed for my Mom's apartment living room, reasonably priced and sturdy.  That being said, just be sure to leave yourself plenty of time & patience to put it together!  My husband who is pretty handy was not a happy camper while assembling it, it took him close to 5 hours!  The directions are only illustrations and not the easiest to understand.  Lots of pieces to assemble while you try to figure out where they all go.
