This book case is very sturdy and heavy. It was fairly easy to assemble. It has a lot of character and though the shelves aren't solid wood they don't look cheap like some assemble yourself type furniture does. The only bummer was that the feet which appear to be wheels or casters in the photo are not actually functional. They are just fixed metal circles, I was not planning to move this thing and don't need the functionality of the wheel but it looks a little dumb/fake.

Pros: sturdy, heavy duty, quick to assemble, easy to follow directions 
Cons: fake "wheel" feet
