I love the coloring of this bookcase.  I actually wanted something a little higher, but this is only 5 shelves versus 6, so that is OK.  The cabinets are great so it makes my living room look more organized.  It can be tricky to put together, but the directions were accurate.  The shelves are also very sturdy. The price reflects a sturdy, DIY bookcase, but it is very nice when you are done.
