This is a nice looking, easy-to-construct bookshelf with deep shelves and a low height that leaves the top surface available for a fruit-bowl (for example) or stereo.  Good for small apartment if you just have a few dozen books.  But put the heavy volumes on the bottom shelf (or on the very top of the unit) as the single middle shelf is a bit too thin for heavy stuff.  I also braced the unit with 2.5 inch brass angles - and I really think it needed the extra bracing to stabilize.
