The bookshelf is pretty close to what we expected. The wood stain was a bit darker than pictured, but overall it was easy to build and put together. 2 stars were taken off because there were noticeable scratches across most of the metal frame and chipped in the fake wood panels exposing the grey material underneath. Either we received a previously returned model or there is a lack of quality control at the manufacturer. In addition, there was not an indication of a wall mount or anchor, so we opted to purchase one extra. Upon arrival we found the shelf did come with two anchors, resulting in an unnecessary extra expense.
