EXCELLENT PURCHASE, ITEM WAS JUST AS DESCRIBED. IT WAS JUST THE SIZE I WAS LOOKING FOR TO FIT INTO A SMALL SPACE IN MY DAUGHTER'S ROOM. THE SHELVES ARE VERY THICK AND SHOULD HOLD  HER HEAVY SCHOOL BOOKS. I WANTED  A DEPTH FOR HER BOOKS GREATER THAN THE STANDARD 12" AND THIS BOOKCASE DELIVERED.  THIS BOOKCASE ALLOWS HER TO PLACE TWO ROWS OF HER SMALLER NOVELS ON THE SAME SHELF AS WE NEEDED THE EXTRA SPACE.  I BOUGHT TWO AND THEY FRAME HER CHEST OF DRAWERS ALMOST LIKE A CUSTOM BUILT-IN UNIT. THE ONLY SUGGESTION I WOULD HAVE IS TO SEE IF THEY COULD MAKE THIS BOOKCASE IN A BLACK COLOR.
