Was easy to assemble and looks perfect! Only issue with the white color was it was much easier to see the defects in the paint and the wood even though there weren't that many. It's always tough when getting furniture shipped since I feel like there's always something wrong with it. But thankfully this time the defects were easy enough to hide, especially once the shelves were populated. Overall though I love the style of this bookshelf and am happy with my purchase!
