I absolutely love this bookcase! It actually looks exactly like the photo posted! The feet are not that sturdy, although the item actually comes with wall stabilizers. I did place it on a carpeted area as I did not want to mount it to the wall and believe it or not, its actually pretty sturdy on the carpet. My husband and I put the bookcase together with no issues and it took about an hour and a half; there was a mistake on the instructions when it came to a couple of the different type of nails but it was easily solved by looking at the photos of the actual nails on the instructions! Overall, this is a good product for the price!
