I got this bookcase in white. Right after I bought it it went on sale. For the price, I was expecting the white bookcase to be of higher quality. I was expecting a matte finish but it is a high gloss very shiny finish. If I had known this beforehand I would have gotten this shelf in brown. It appears to be sturdy and made pretty well but I expected more. I may return this item as I am not that satisfied with this product.
