I love this bookshelf, now that its together.  Its exactly what I wanted for the space.  It was extremely dusty out of the box,  being primarily particle board. Assembly was moderately difficult but I was able to do it myself in about 2 hours.  The screws are not countersunk so the stickers to cover them do not work, but once I filled it with books and things,  they really werent noticeable.  I recommend felt furniture pads on the bottom to avoid scratching your floor or furniture. Overall a good purchase.
