Overall, I am satisfied with this bookcase. It fits well in the space where I'm using it and it blends in with the wood on the other furniture in the room. The "instructions" for assembly are just pictures with no explanations. I had to study the pictures a bit before I started, but I have worked with similar hardware on other items before and that helped me. Once I got a couple of the shelves together, it went pretty quickly. It would be helpful to know that it is actually put together upside down. So once it was assembled, I had to lay it down and then stand it up on its base. I believe the veneer on this shelf unit could be easily chipped, so handle carefully. My biggest complaint with Wayfair is the shipping time. I ordered this item on a Saturday. It was not shipped until the following Tuesday. The shipping notice said estimated delivery would be on Friday. However, the tracking info said it would not arrive until Saturday. It was received on Saturday.
