I was excited to receive this bookcase and everything went fine until we unwrapped the top piece. It was cracked in several places and not only did this crack go through to the back but lines running up the shelves would be noticeable. I requested a replacement, and after a month, it was determined that this part was not available. The company provided satisfaction via another method, and I hired a repair person on my own to fix the cracks. The bookshelf is a beautiful piece of furniture.
