I love this bookcase! I love the width, highth, and color of it. I was also looking for a bookcase with thick shelves because I worry about them sagging under all the weight of the books, and this one met my expectations. It was so easy to put together, but you do need a second person to help you stand it up and position it where you want it because it is quite heavy. Keep that in mind when you try to bring the package inside. When I opened the package and took out all the parts, the bottom front piece came cracked, so I had to have it replaced, but the process of ordering a replacement piece was simple. The instructions don't have much explanation to them, but you can pretty much figure it out from just looking at the pictures. So yeah, would buy again!
