This is a beautiful bookcase! My husband collects vinyl records, I have a collection of craft books, and our daughter has a library of serial novels. All of our items fit perfectly with room to grow. Assembly is a two person job. Directions were minimal but all items were clearly labeled. It is a good idea to wait until it’s completely assembled before tightening the screws as recommended. We had to redo the center portion. Well worth the time it took to put together. Looks great!
