This is a solid bookcase with nice deep shelves.  It was easy to put together - the predrilled holes for the fixed shelf were slightly off on one side, so the shelf sticks out slightly, but that wasn't a problem for us since the bookcase was going into a closet.  It would be simple enough to redrill the holes if you wanted the shelf perfectly even with the edge.  The natural maple color was a great match for our natural maple trim so it looks great in our closet.
