The bookcase is beautiful- well constructed and was fairly easy to put together, especially if you have two people.  I was impressed with the quality for the price.  The only flaw, and the reason that I'm only giving it 4 stars, is I just wish it was a little taller.  It is kind of a strange height.  I knew the dimensions when I purchased but I still think it would be better if it was just another 5-10 inches taller.  Be aware before buying that it is rather short.
