This bookcase is very poor quality and is not value for money . The top of the case is a shelf that does not span across the top of the sides. This creates an untidy appearance, particularly as the finish on the wood was chipped on arrival and will chip during construction it is just that fragile. There were the wrong number of dowels and screw locks and no covers for the screw locks. The back of the bookcase is in two pieces which creates a gap in the middle that is visible.   This piece looks cheap and would only be value for money at around $30 and purely for a utilitarian not decorative purpose.
