This is a nice bookcase - as sturdy as it looks, and good value for the money. It took my husband several hours to assemble on his own, with no particular problems; you just need to be careful with the doors, because there are two different types of hinges, and it does matter which ones go where, if you want the doors to fit. I was just slightly disappointed to find that the box arrived with written on it as the manufacturer, which was evidence that I could have bought the same bookcase at a certain DIY/home store for less money. It shows the need to be careful, because different online stores will sell the exact same product with a completely different manufacturer/collection name. Next time I will do more research before making my purchase!
