We got the white version-- it's really cute! Perfect for baby's room. PROS:  The wood pieces are surprisingly sturdy (doesn't feel light like MDF furniture is) and the paint is an actual paint.  If you put it together carefully and patiently it is a good solid bookcase.  CONS:  The directions are not easy to follow-- just pictures.  It takes a lot of trial and error to get it right, but thankfully it's not the MDF that just crumbles if you make a mistake and try to move pieces around. It took my husband and I about 2 hours to put it all together.    He wanted me to give this 3 stars based on the assembly alone.  But the finished product is nice.  Just take your time, and be as patient as possible when assembling!
