I was very impressed with the speedy delivery (I ordered this on Friday and it was delivered the following Tuesday). This bookcase came very well packaged to ensure the contents were preserved during shipping. I purchased two of these and while the design is classic, the assembly was a bit tricky. After following the instructions to install the shelves, I had trouble attaching the back cross-bar in that the pre-drilled holes on the bars did not align with their receiving holes on the side bars. By loosening the shelves, I gained enough wiggle room to line up the holes on the cross-bar & matching side bars then went back and tightened the shelves. It would have saved a lot of time if the instructions indicated to not tighten the shelves completely until after the cross-bar is attached. (Took off one star for this.) Overall, I’m very pleased with my purchase.
