I had already read the review about the glue and difficulty putting it together. It wasn't that easy but I eventually got through it. The glue provided didn't seem strong enough so used tougher stuff from my own stash. This meant I had a lot of delicately wiping away excess from corners to ensure not obvious, since i purchased the darker expresso color. The color seemed darker than i expected but not concerned. After gradually putting together over span of a couple days it is fully constructed and in place to complement our bedroom and reduce book clutter. Happy customer.

Pros: Good value. Attractive corner bookshelf
Cons: Not enough color options. A little challenging to construct with glue provided.
