I’m feeling very good about this purchase. It is very sturdy and fits the vibe of my room super well. It will hold a good number of books of various sizes, something that wasn’t possible with the traditional 6’ bookcase I had before. I was concerned the finish would be too rustic but it isn’t. I paid a man from Thumbtack to assemble it. I’ve never done that before even assembled lots of furniture with no instructions. The instructions are faaaaaaar past poor. The very first direction was unclear, nor did I find the pictures helpful. I had two pieces with the same number! I doubt I will order from this maker again. The  I saved off the purchase price went on the assembly. That’s nuts. I gave the piece 5 stars but I’d give the instructions no stars at all.
