The price was high at just over $300 which I was okay with but felt it was on the high side. Then it went on sale $100 less ($180) but there is no meaningful way to match that price without going through a return hassle. I was intending to buy a second one if I liked the first however the price issue above and the overall stability leaves me uncertain. Overall it's very nice looking but not nearly as structurally sturdy as it's presented as a bookshelf. I think it should 100% be attached to the wall because the base is not quite wide enough and the vertical layered assembly limits the overall weight allowance.

I would debate this being called a bookcase. It's a nice shelf but I wouldn't use it strictly as a bookshelf as I would have concerns with its overall stability when loaded with books.
