The bookcase came in good condition. It's a bit complicated to assembly but doable within 2-3 hours. The screws initially are bit difficult to screw in, but once you get a hang of it it's not that difficult. The front wooden piece that covers the front of the shelves are bit shorter, and therefore there's a gap on either side of the shelves but not a biggie. The second shelf from the bottom exposes a unpolished surface for which I had to use the pen to color. I don't know how that could be the case (looks like a design defect). But I like the overall finish of the bookcases. It looks sophisticated for the price. 

Pros: Elegant and Looks expensive
Cons: Minor design faults (shorter cover pieces)
