This could be improved if there wasn't so much assembly involved. For starters, there were so many screws - which results in visible screws on each shelf - all over, each shelf on both sides and in the middle which cheapens the look. I've had to cover up all the screw holes with lots of books and objects - just to avoid seeing the exposed screws. It would be a much better if shelves could sit into the frames, somehow without visible screws.
