this is a very sturdy bookshelf, it was easy to assemble, did it with my 13 year old daughter, however I thought it was going to be a bright white to go with my daughter's furniture, it is not .   it has a greenish tint to the paint which makes it look more antique white in color, not a problem at my house   different daughter was happy to take it in her room. but if you are hoping for a plain bright white  this is not the shelf for you

Pros: Very east to assemble
Cons: only con is the color was not what we expected
