The bookshelf looks fantastic (my fiancé even thinks it looks sophisticated). It was relatively easy to put together and feels very sturdy. I only gave 4 stars because with our bookcase when all four legs are screwed in, one of them is shorter than the other three which makes the bookshelf wobble. We have been able to make it work by loosening the one leg that is shorter than the others, which just means we have to remember that ifwhen we move it. Other than that I am very happy with it and it does a great job storing books!
