I really like this bookcase. It's very natural looking and was easy to assemble by myself. I gave it four stars because some of the knots and character of the wood (parts I love the most) were filled. The filler used was lighter than the shelf color, so it draws attention to them. Nothing I couldn't get over, I just chose the front sides with the least filler. I also put the shelw a lot of filler on the top and bottom, so they wouldn't be as noticeable. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase.
