Overall this is a beautiful, functional bookshelf. In terms of display and capacity, it exceeded my expectations. Assembly was considerably more challenging than I anticipated, particularly because some of the holes drilled for screws were apparently done improperly and the screws wouldn’t fit all the way in, no matter what angle (or lack thereof) I tried. Also, the package itself is an awkward shape and is heavy, which proved problematic with stairs/unpacking. I’d recommend, but would caution to keep those few things in mind before buying and trying to assemble.
