We recently completed a major remodeling of our home and are updating most of our furniture to as close to mid-century modern as we can. We bought two of these bookcases and the bench to place along a very long entryway wall. The bookcase on the right looks lighter in color but that's because its next to the front door (just out of frame) that has three large translucent glass panels. The bookcases & bench were very easy to assemble and solidly built (real wood, not particle board). Still need to put things on the shelves, but we are really happy with how it all looks.
