Only reason I am rating 4 stars is because the assembly is near impossible without a second person. I have no problem reading simple assemble instructions and putting the majority of our furniture pieces together in our home, but this bookcase was a challenge simply because of how it leans and you need to prop it up as you place the screws in or have someone else hold it for you while you assemble it. Other then that, great quality, lots of compliments, color is a little more on the "off white" side. I use this in my sons nursery. 

Cons: CONS assembly is difficult
