This bookcase is a nice size (I checked the measurements before purchasing) and the construction and shape is beautiful, but I am not at all happy with the color. In the photos the bookshelf looks to be a beautiful brushed gold color. The color of this bookcase looks nothing like the obviously lightened and brightened photos. The bookcase is closer to a dull, metallic brown. The color is not attractive at all. I’m not returning it since it would be expensive to return. I’m going to attempt to apply gold  leaf (thanks Pinterest) to the gold frame to rectify this.
