This is a beautifully made solid wood bookcase.  I bought this to add to my existing kitchen island.  I needed space for cookbooks and some pottery.  This will look great when finished.  Came already assembled.  There was a bit of a crack in the wood on the outer piece, but it will be covered by plywood so not an issue for us.  Came very well packaged so thinking it must have cracked at the factory and was not caught.
