I love the bookcase.  I had books all over my room, but I couldn't find a bookcase that would fit the available space.  This bookcase is perfect.  I kept the books that I needed and donated those I didn't.  I have different categories and use the lower shelves for heavy books and for magazines. The only problem I had was that one of the shelves was kind of weak or springy. It does't hold as much as the other shelves without the books sliding off.  I keep light stuff on this shelf.
