The instructions were hard to understand and the illustrations that went along with it didn't really make sense on some of the areas.  We were missing screws and some of the slats for the back of the bookcase were uneven or not straight so small gaps would show.  Not happy with the bookcase but since it's in my son's room and his stuffed animals are covering the gaps, we have made do with the problematic areas. You also have to nail the bookcase to the wall, there is no support and severly leans.
