For the low price, I like the bookshelf. Modern-looking and not too tall or too wide. Perfect for a small space. Particle board shelves are sturdy and the framework is supported with the X frame that crosses in the back. I was disappointed that a couple edges of the shelves were slightly tattered in a couple of spots. But not enough to warrant sending it back. Be aware that the assembly requires the use of a hex key that is included, instead of a screwdriver. That makes putting it together more difficult and more timely. One hex screw was also missing from the parts, but you can see the above photo that shows we found a regular screw of our own to use. So that’s why I give this item only 4 stars.
