Love my Ladder Bookcase. It is beautiful. Sturdy and strong. I wanted something open and airy to display my travel souvenirs. I loved it so much I ordered and received my second bookcase. I travel quite often so I have many more display pieces. This one will go on the other side of the first one. I cannot wait to put it together. On that note my husband put the bookcase together in no time. With minimal help from me. Do not hesitate on buying this. It looks more expensive than the cost. Everything about is worth the price. The color of the wood and shelves. I will enjoy this being in my home for many years to come!
