Great looking bookshelf. It's quite heavy, but I (a mostly out-of-shape woman) was able to assemble it myself, and a flimsy bookshelf is no bookshelf at all. It's important to follow the instruction to not screw anything in tightly until all the pieces have been assembled together.

My only wish would be that the shelves have an extra hole on the back to allow the mini-shelves to optionally be installed on the right side of the bookshelf -- it would have fit better in my room if I had the mirror image version.
