The bookcase is not the quality I thought it was going to be.  Aesthetically, it met my expectations.  However, the craftsmanship is lacking.  If I would've seen this in person before purchasing then I probably would've been willing to spend a little more and go with a piece that was better crafted and more substantial.  I wasn't able to use it for the originally intended purpose, but I wasn't going to just throw it out either.  Giving it a 3 out of 5.
