We really love this book case! It looks great in our office, and holds all of our books and papers with room left to spare. It does take a long time to assemble, and you need two people to put this together (its very heavy for one person to hold, and assemble). I took one star off for the "back" of the bookcase which is just thick cardboard which you nail to the case with 40 nails. For the price I was hoping it would be a solid piece of wood. However, no one notices, and it is a great addition to our office.
