I was looking forward to a sturdy bookcase but this one is not worth the price 
I paid.  It is similar to what I could find at the local dollar store for a third of the price, I should have paid more attention to the description as the shelves are thinner than I expected and the back is laminated cardboard. I didn't expect real wood but this is cheaply made.
Putting it together was quite a chore as there is no pre-drilled holes to guide the screws, etc.
