I'd been looking for a barrister bookcase to set on top of my other tall one without luck. Then I found this and ordered the darker wood one. It's dyed oak but still very pretty. What folks say about the doors is also true. The dowels were so stuck my husband had to use pliers to remove them. They were so damaged he had to go to Home Depot and buy a small piece of wood and he made new dowels. The plastic caps that secure the glass doors are also rather flimsy. But the books are loaded and the look is beautiful in the den. 

Pros: Attractive 
Cons: Had a couple glitches with dowels and plastic caps
