This bookshelf is really study and not that difficult to put together, however you will need to use your own screwdriver because the included wrench is pretty useless. The disappointing part for me is that it is a MUCH darker brown than the picture depicts. If it weren’t so difficult to send back, I would. Not really the color that I was expecting. I’m hoping I can use decor to ‘lighten’ it up and match what my home style.
