I was not impressed.  The finish was not as good as I expected based on the price of this bookcase.  The base that sits on the floor on each side of the book case and that protrude beyond the front of the bookcase about an inch or so are made of half inch plywood.  When I removed the packing material I discovered that the pieces that protrude beyond the front of the bookcase were bent up towards the face of the bookcase and were broken.  If they were made of solid oak I'm sure this wouldn't have happened.  As I happen to have some solid oak in my work shop I am replacing the plywood pieces myself rather than go through the hassle of returning the bookcase.
