I love these bookcases. I have the horizontal one as well. They are gorgeous. Beware though - they are very heavy! The bottoms aren't smooth like the top/outside of the cases, so if you are solo and can't lift it to carry it, you'll want to put it on its side and slide it across carpet. When I did that, the bookcase was so top heavy I lost control and busted a hole in my door though. Still worth it!
