Looks nice and is sturdy.  I had previously ordered 2 of these bookcases that were pre-assembled.  This one I assembled myself.  It is not identical to the pre-assembled versions which had a solid base and no visible hardware.  On this one, the shelf hardware is visible and there are spaces between the sides and the shelves which didn't exist on the pre-assembled version.  Still a nice bookshelf but not as good as the pre-assembled one.
