I just got this in yesterday. It was fairly easy to assemble, though I did have a couple of moments where I did not feel smarter than the bookshelf, ha ha. It looks nice and is holding quite a bit on it already without any noticble wobble, it is not up against a wall, so it doesn't have any wall support but still seems to be holding strong. Two of the wood things that slide onto the back of the shelf, I guess they would be like book ends, didn't fit onto the shelf. Either the book end opening was made too narrow or the shelf was made a little to wide. It doesn't bother me because I didn't really need those and am really only using them because they are there. All in all, I would recommend this shelf. Great shelf for a decent price.
