I purchased the matching TV cabinet that arrived already built and love it. Ordered 2 of these bookcases to match but they need to be put together. Tried it by myself and early on in the build I it came apart, breaking off a piece of the pressed board. I think it needs 2 sets of hands to hold while connecting some of the parts. Will wait until I have a helper to build them. Color in the ad is correct, pretty dark gray.
