These bookshelves are nice. I hired a handyman to put them together because I am not handy. It took him some time but they  looked good once they were assembled and he didn't say there were any problems. The only thing I will say is that I should've read the dimensions more closely. These are much shorter than I expected. I feel like they would be better suited for a small space or children's room. Nevertheless, we are using the two we bought and they are working out fine. Good value for the price.
