Arrived on time which I am happy about! Upon opening the box, I was greeted with a small little chip on one of the inside (B) shelves. It won't be noticeable when the whole thing is assembled, especially if I put it on the bottom. The color is a little off, it is advertised as black but it i more of an expresso/dark brown color. The day after I bought the bookcase it went on sale for $26 which I wasn't too happy with. The materials itself don't seem durable enough to last 10 years but it seems fine for what I need it for. It says two people are recommended for assembly and I agree, it would be a lot easier with two people. I don't have it all put together yet, so we'll see how it holds up. I wouldn't pay $43 for it, But I would pay $26 ( dang it!)
