These bookcases weren't "easy" to assemble but definitely worth the effort.  Forget about the paper backing supplied with the bookcase and let your wall color highlight the shelved items.  It's a better contrast and the paper, wood-colored backing is just tacky.  Everything else about these is better than expected.  They fit together well, with some effort. Be prepared to spend the time to decipher the assembly instructions.  You'll enjoy the end result.

Pros: Beautiful, real-looking, wood finish
Cons: Takes a bit of effort and ciphering to get through the assembly instructions.
