I love this bookcase. Assembly was easy, you do need a lot of space,  and it is very well-made.  It is a bit heavy once you stand it up and definitely needs to be anchored against the wall. When the item arrived,  the packaging was severely damaged.  You could see the shelves and other parts due to the large holes and rips.  However,  there was not a single scratch on the item which speaks volumes of the quality and durability.
