This bookshelf arrived exactly as pictured. My favorite aspect of it is that it offers ample shelf space, yet doesn’t feel overwhelming in terms of its dimensions. It is stylish in a minimalist sense, with a touch of industrial essence. It was easy to install. My only criticism is that I wish the shelves felt a touch sturdier. They clearly aren’t going anywhere with normal use, but I feel the need to remind my kids not hang onto them or put extra pressure on them. If it weren’t for the kids, I wouldn’t notice or be concerned.
