Once it is all set up, it looks really nice. However, the set up is awful. I had such a hard time putting it together, the holes for the screws aren't properly made. I ended using a drill (the instructions say you only need a screwdriver), and most of the screws ended up being stripped because of how difficult it was for even the drill to get them in tightly. It has the quality of Ikea furniture, but is a lot harder to put together than Ikea products. I definitely wouldn't recommend this for anyone who is looking for an easy to build book shelf.
