I was on the hunt for a good quality bookcase, and this one offered the best value for the quality that I've found.   It's half the price of similar bookcases that I looked at in-store, and I couldn't be happier with how it looks in my living room.  It was easy to assemble, the wood is REAL and seems to be good quality and stable, and I was able to to put a ridiculous amount of heavy books on it with no problem.
