I have a newly built home.  For the last year, I have been buying things online to furnish it.  Most of what I purchased came from Wayfair or Joss & Main.  This bookcase is one of the best thing I bought.  It is solid, heavy, well made and looks far more expensive than it was.  My husband put it together by himself and it was relatively easy. The back is cardboard, but we don't mind because we plan to fill it with books top to bottom.  I only wish I had bought the taller version, as we could use another shelf.  I would highly recommend this item.
