I really like this book shelf especially for the price.  It has character and adds  a lot to my office.  I was surprised how streamlined the packing and parts were!  -Very straight forward.  Although I would recommend having a power tool to use to put the screws in.  There were no holes in the particle board shelves so hand screwing the screws in would have not been fun.  But with a power tool and how well laid out the construction process was we had the bookcase together quickly.
