The bookshelf looks nice except for the plastic stickies used to cover the nail heads as other reviewers stated. I've purchased other assembly your-self furniture before and they give little plastic things that you actually hammer down in the screw heads and it hides it. Also the instructions are really useless, the pictures are not bad to work off of. One mistake I made with the metal bars was to screw the longer end of the screw in the wood part and it cracked the wood, the instructions didnt tell which end to put in the metal and which in the wood, so I have 2 cracks in the wood, as I didnt notice that it happened the first time. Other wise it looks nice.
