I own a lot of textbooks so I was looking for a sturdy bookcase, not one of those flimsy ones. First thing I noticed is that the wood is very very heavy. It’s not solid wood (mdf I think), but its still very solid.

My issue with the bookcase is the design. The material alone Is give 5 stars for. But considering the price I paid for this, I expected much more from this. My biggest gripe is how each of the very solid and sturdy shelves rest on top of these very tiny metal pegs. And for such a wide bookcase, it only has a 50lbs weight limit for each shelf. It would have been so much better if some shelf supports were included for the second lowest shelf to bring up the weight limit.
