Though the instructions are a little to take in, i'd recommend looking them over start to finish for a while before beginning.  You'll need more glue than comes with the kit. So prepare for that. Also, prepare for you to be finished and then you realize the bookcase assembly leaves the bookcase completed but upside down! You will need 2 to 3 people to right-side it.

Pros: great value, sturdy, looks great!
Cons: not enough glue, assembly leaves you with piece upside down
