I spent a long time looking for a unique attractive shelving unit and that is why I  wanted this one. However, I have had nothing but problems with it. It cannot be assembled!! The hardware simply doesn't work. I contacted Wayfair about it and they sent me replacement hardware which was exactly the same hardware so obviously it still didn't work. When I contacted them a second time they said they would send me a replacement bookshelf. Guess what? Still the same hardware, still the same problem.  I  have been trying to assemble this thing for over a month now. It is taking up valuable real estate in my home and we've been walking around it for far too long. So, now I have 2 unusable bookcases and don't know what I'm going to do from here. DON'T  order this item! It's a big fail!
