This bookcase was very easy for one person to put together and it looks nice. The listing  picture said there is 13.5 inches between shelves. That was my deciding factor for buying it. I make 13 inch scrapbooks and that is where they would be stored. I measured the books before I even bought the bookcase. After putting it together I found out that there is only 13 inches between shelves so the books can’t be stood up straight. What a waste of money! If it wasn’t such a hassle to send it back I would have. That’s why only 2 stars.
