I really love the look of this bookcase -- it's very clean and unobtrusive design-wise. It's also really nice and big and looks awesome on my big living room. I did fill it with a lot of books and it is sagging a bit in the center. The boards are very long and I do wish they had some type of support in the middle. I'm probably the only one that notices, though. If you aren't going to load it with a lot of books I'm sure you will be fine.
