We ordered this bookshelf for our living room, and we really like the color of the wood. The quality is great for the price, and it's a great way to display knick-knacks in our living room. However, I will warn you that the assembly of this bookshelf is not for the faint of heart! It took my husband and me almost 6 hours to get it completely assembled, and this thing is HEAVY. It's worth buying, but be ready for a tough job getting it together!
