Im very impressed with this for being a build-it-yourself piece of furniture. First, the styrofoam in the box was all wrapped in plastic so it wasnt a mess or ruining the product (bad for the planet, though). The pieces were organized well and the directions were very clear. I assembled it in about 20 minutes. Its very high quality for this type of product and Im happy! My only issue with it is that its advertised as a bookshelf but its actually a nightstand and cannot hold books upright on both the shelves.
