I am completely satisfied with the purchase. I like it more than I thought I would! It gives the room height. The book shelf is functional, compact and modern. I liked that I was able to place the book shelf in from of the light switch without it interfering. I could easily place the book shelf in 3 other places around my apartment. I would recommend two people to assemble this piece because of its height but it was one of the easier pieces of furniture to assemble.
