It’s a beautiful piece of furniture! Of all the bookshelves with reading nooks, I’m so glad we chose this one. The seat is the perfect size for my leggy 3-year-old, who has now discovered a new way to play with his toy cars (along the windowsill). Halfway through the build, I asked my husband how complicated it was and he said it was pretty straightforward, no issues - but five minutes later, he took it all back. There were some steps missing from the directions and he had to guess (correctly, luckily) the rest of the way. Also, the back panel was cut incorrectly, so a row of empty screw holes shows through if you look carefully inside one the bookshelves. So had to take off a star for that. Otherwise, very happy with it!
