This works if you need something for a narrow space, but taller than most bedside tables.  Assembly wasn't too bad -- since it's small the boards aren't all that heavy. I got it to hold a fan I like to have beside the bed.
Negatives: The back is paper, with a fold and looks cheap. There is no recessed spot for the screws, so the tops stick out. Little paper disk stickers don't do much to hide them.  Very little space between shelves. I wish I had left out the middle one.
A strange positive -- my cat is in love with this book case. She rubs her face on it.
