Overall happy with the bookcase - now assembled it looks good and is really useful for my hallway which has limited space. Straightforward to assemble. However, there were a few scratches and dents on quite a few pieces of the wood which was disappointing. When assembled they weren't obvious so I decided not to go through the hassles of a return, but it would possibly make me hesitant to re-order something that was more expensive in case of a similar situation.
