Very cheaply made. Laminate chips off way too easily and particle board is full of holes/voids. Both sets of bookshelves arrived damaged in the same spot due to poor packing (not enough padding). Thank God that Wayfair will be sending replacement parts, and hopefully they'll arrive in OK shape. Would never purchase these again. OTOH, the 2 Bush Kirchoff desks we purchased at the same time arrived in fine shape and are sturdy as Sherman tanks.... Couldn't be more pleased with them.
