This style of bookcase is exactly what I was looking for- to get my daughter's plant propagations off the floor and have a variety of options for more sun (graduated ends) and more "shade" (toward the wall side). The box arrived half-opened at one end, but there was no damage to the shelves or pieces missing. It was straightforward to build, had all parts (+ 1 extra of every screw and a screwdriver) and was level upon finishing it. I would recommend it, as it was advertised correctly and is a solid piece of furniture.
