I got the white one and it delivered a bit dented in certain spots. I figured that since either side can be used, I made sure that when I assemble the pieces, the dented areas were facing the wall. Assembly was not difficult because the pieces were labeled correctly and the instructions were pretty clear. What I am most happy about is that I can arrange the top shelf without needing a stool (I am 5ft); I can get away with tip-toe-ing to clean the roof of the bookshelf. This piece does make me feel like I got a fancy piece of furniture in my living room. 

Pros: Looks cool, easy to assemble, not too tall for a 5ft person, inexpensive, not too heavy
Cons: Delivered dented, gluing pieces
