I've had the bookcase about a week and so far I love it.  The wood is a bit more fragile than I expected.  There were a few very minor spots on the side of one of the boards where the darker finish had chipped. It was easy to assemble, but I was unable to screw one board in completely because the hole for the screw was not lined up properly.  However, this does not seem to have compromised the stability or integrity of the bookcase.  It is exactly what I was looking for and I am very happy with the product overall.
