As reviewed, this is a nice, solid bookcase with some heft. Takes a little time to put together but is not at all difficult. My only disappointment is that the white shelves are ... MDF/melamine. I am sure the description detailed list but I guess I missed it. Somehow I thought the shelves were a nicer material. One of the shelves has a little nick in the coating and the front edge is a little imperfect (you can't turn the shelves upside down because of the bolt holes).
