There are things about this shelf that reflect the inexpensive price I paid, but for the price, it's fantastic.  Looks nice, if you don't inspect it too closely to see the stick-ons to cover the screw holes.  Once the shelves have books and knick-knacks, it's barely noticeable.  Although it was fairly easy to put together, there were a lot of pieces and instructions only had pictures.  It took appox. 10 hrs for me to complete by myself.  But all parts were included and I had no problems.
