The design is great and it is plenty sturdy.  The shelves are lightweight, probably hollow, and the veneer looks cheap up close.  The frame assembly bolts protrude out the back of the bookcase, and the one for the cross brace is so long it’s damaging the paint on the wall behind it. Turning them around would make using the shelves a little dangerous.  It looks fine, and I figured it wouldn’t look perfect given the low price.  Assembly was very easy, and the height adjusting feet are so helpful.
