I purchased this bookcase for several reasons after looking at many.  *1 - I did not have to put it together, literally .....NO TOOLS NEEDED!  *2 - I was limited in the width and height. This bookcase would fit where I wanted it placed. *3 - Height and weight of each shelf was very important, *4 - The book shelf would serve my needs.   I purchased the white color and I think the paint could have been a better quality.  It looks cheap and not the finish I would have preferred.  Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.
