For what we used these for, they worked fine. They are 8' up, being used sideways as bookshelves and look natural up there. These are cheap and somewhat flimsy, so don't expect them to last if they are loaded with heavy books and moved at all. The back is cardboard. The face of the bookcase is a textured edge banding that doesn't match the finish of the rest of the bookcase. 
Delivery was prompt and they arrived in good condition in a heavy-cardboard box with Styrofoam inserts.
