I actually tried cancelling shipment on this item as I realized it would be too large for the space it was intended for but it was too late to cancel. When it came, I ended up keeping it and using it in another room. It was easy to assemble and sturdy. There was a spot on the frame where the paint chipped off, but since it's towards the back, it wasn't a big deal. The bookcase works, it's modern, and the shelves have ample space. I think it's overpriced for what you get though because it looks cheaper than what I paid for it.
