This bookcase was easy for me to build on my own. It doesn't overpower the room but serves as a nice focal point in a studio apartment. The only problem I had was that it was cut incorrectly so the top two square shelves don't alternate in the picture but are right below each other. Still, it looks great and it serves my purposes well. It may not be tall enough for bigger books, so if you have large books that you need to shelve, it might not be the bookcase for you.

Pros: easy assembly, great value
