I waited and looked and waited and looked some more, before making this purchase. I have other furniture items in my home that are chrome and glass, and knew it was the right "look" but read a few reviews about shipping issues that caused the bookcase to arrive damaged. It was also listed as a pretty heavy item and I was concerned about getting it into my home. I worried for nothing. It arrived in perfect condition, nothing broken or missing.  Yes, it's a bit heavy but I commandeered some help and got it into my home no problem.  And it looks awesome in my living room, with other chrome/glass pieces.  It went together easily and I had it up in an hour and a half.  It's a beautiful sturdy piece and I'm glad I made the purchase.  I knew nothing else was going to work as well in that room. No regrets here!
