We bought the bookcase to go in our daughters room.  She has a limited amount of space to work with.  The bookcase is small in size but still functional.  It's not a real expensive piece of furniture but for the price we're happy with it.  The only problem we've had with it is that it doesn't sit flush with the floor.  It's a bit wobbly.  We just put a piece of paper under it to prop it up.
