This is pure convenience and style, and both at a very good price.  This bookcase is just the right size, and doesn't overpower the room but it does hold many books. The backing of the bookcase looks like separate boards (but is not), so it looks a bit rustic/beach house and fits nicely into our den.  My books are now out of their packing boxes - and onto shelves where they should be - and nice looking shelves indeed.
