This bookshelf came in a box that was badly damaged, and I was worried about the bookshelf itself. However, it was fine when I opened the box. It was easy to put together (I did it myself in under 30 minutes), but I was a bit disappointed that there were stickers to cover the screw holes. The stickers have grain to match the grain of the shelving, but it seems that for the price of this bookshelf, there would be a more durable, long-lasting alternative available. On the plus side, it can hold a lot of books and is as beautiful in person as it is in the pictures. 

Pros: Easy to assemble, exactly as pictured
Cons: Stickers to cover the screw holes
