If you are looking for something a little sturdier than the cheap particle-board bookcases, this may be your solution. Construction seems pretty sturdy for most uses.  It was easy to assemble as long as you follow the included instructions.  We bought three and they are just right for our books, magazines and decor.  The only drawback was a delay from the manufacturer (ordered in August-available late October), but that was not All Moderns issue.
