I ordered a few furniture pieces from Wayfair and this was the first to arrive. I was skeptical because of the various reviews and after long search and contemplating, I decided to purchase this bookcase. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to assemble. It might help to have two people to get it done quicker (I assembled it with my husband) because it took us only 5-10 mins. Pieces are clearly labeled and instructions was simple enough. It looks sturdy and polished. I am extremely pleased with this purchase and only hope that the rest of my order turns out like this one!
