This is a nice-looking, sturdy bookcase, and my husband and I really like the style and finish. It took the two of us a few hours one evening to put it together. Our sole complaint is that our top, frontmost molding piece seemed to be cut slightly too large, so we couldn't get it to line up perfectly with the other pieces--not a big structural problem, mostly aesthetic. We would still buy a piece from this manufacturer again and may get something to match this.Pros: value, style
