This is a great bookshelf!  I put it together in about  20 minutes without my husband's help.  I get so many compliments on it.  It really add something special and unique to the room.  I am very glad I bought this and it's bigger in person than the actual picture.  The wood is high quality and heavy so it helps to add support to the bookshelf.  It comes with two hooks on the back of the bookshelf that you can attach to the wall to prevent it from falling down on your child if pulled.
