Loved the look of this bookcase but it was hard to assemble.  Took me and my husband at least about 2 hours to assemble.  Im sure it will be faster on our second one (I bought 2).  Pretty stable.  I need to call Wayfair to let them know that there were 3 big dings when it arrived.  But since this bookcase is so heavy, I didnt want to worry about sending it back because of its weight.  If not for the dings and the assembly time, this would have been a 5 star
