The Mong Etagere Bookcase is truly a statement piece. It looks fantastic is my living room. The bookcase is very solid and holds a ton of books. The shelves have a nice dark wood grain finish. The angled shelves are great way to display your books. The reason I gave three stars is that the bookcase was very hard to build. The predrilled holes on the shelves did not line up. In total it took over 3 hours to construct. The instructions that were provided were very thorough, but it was still a difficult process.
