Firstly the box came damaged, the driver explained that he had picked it up in the state that it arrived in. It appeared that there was no damage to the bookcase pieces. 
Putting the bookcase together was difficult as the pieces appeared to be numbered incorrectly (there were no 03 pieces, but extra 06's), this made putting the unit together challenging. The instructions weren't that clear so the picture was used instead. Overall it is a lovely bookcase & it fits in well but the assembly was difficult.
