The bookcase is sound, pretty good quality and easy to put together (when you have worked out the instructions) BUT don't buy it if you are in a hurry. I ordered it at the end of Dec 15 and got it mid Feb 16 and even then it was a week late even, the delivery was delayed a couple of weeks so the logistics were terrible. Its pretty heavy so avoid wall mounting like I did unless you have a RSJ knocking about to support it, you can do it but it needs a solid brick wall to fix into and a large timber batten below and above to take the weight and to stop it tipping which you need to cover up with a pelmet. Good product, shame about the delivery
