They look great. Shelves are not solid slabs of wood; they are hollow underneath, which was surprising. However, they did hold my books and pictures just fine. 

If you’re looking for something super strong or have the impression these are ultra sturdy; they’re definitely on the lighter side. The whole box only weighs 48lbs, which is light for a bookshelf this size. But I got mine on sale with an extra discount, so all in all the value to cost ratio was fine.

Packaging and shipping of these bookshelves left me feeling like I got previously returned merchandise. One of the boxes looked half crushed and wrapped in clear tape. The same unit also had visual damage to the wooden shelves. This was disappointing and frustrating.
