Bought this for my daughter's posh lounge and it is exactly what we expected. Although it is not my first purchase, I remain hesitant about buying anything online. So far, our experiences here have been favorable. The bookcase is modern with a casual flair, very sturdy, and I especially like the mix of wood-like and chrome. It's a perfect match for the desk & chair. I put it together in less than 2 hours (that includes from the time I opened the box and created an organizational system for each shelf, frame, bolt & screw). I would like to emphasize, there are a lot of pieces thus having organizational skills comes in handy, and will save you time. Another point, I followed instructions to the "tee" and, because it is quite heavy, lifting was a bit challenging. Our bookshelf looks great and gives the area that special touch!
