The bookcase was well packaged, no damage upon delivery and very easy to assemble.  The instructions were clear and funny! I am glad I read the reviews because the color is NOT WHITE! It is a mix of beige and grey which coordinates perfectly well with my office furniture. I chose the grey side of the backing vs. the colorful one shown in the picture.  

A very good piece especially for the price - not cheap an flimsy at all.  Very happy with this purchase!
