It was easy enough to build, but it wasn't great quality. Many pieces of the bookcase were poorly painted or had been scratched with something black. Once built, on the side of the case you can see the screws that are inserted (and not shown in the picture) You need some kind of white round stickers (not included) to cover it up so it looks nice. Because of the paint issues, I contacted Wayfair and received another bookcase in better condition. Overall I wasn't impressed but for the time and cost, didn't want to find an alternative.
