This bookcase is just what we needed.  If you've assembled any furniture in the past few years, this will be a piece of cake for you to put together.  It took me about an hour, and I didn't rush.  If you haven't used the locking bolt type mechanism it could be a little confusing at first but all modern furniture I've seen lately uses these so it should be easy for anyone.  Strong bookcase, polished look, very affordable.
