Great choice and good value. I am happy with the quality of the wood. It is shiny. It's a lovely design that allows you to put decorations on the sides, separately from the books. An open at the back bookcase is much better than those with a cover at the back. It comes with 2 screws to attach the top shelve to the wall so that the bookcase does not move but even if you have those walls that you can not screw on the 'fake' walls', it can still stand on its own, although there is a slight movement when you push it. I just hope that it will hold the weight for long time. Very easy to build. 
I definitely recommend to buy.
