We ordered 2 of these bookcases and I really like them. My husband and I put the first one together in about 2 and a half hours. The second time it took us about half that. I feel that the instructions could have been more thorough...it does help understanding the why behind the instructions. I am giving only 4 stars for two reasons. First there were 8 screws included in the contents that we never used...we were never told to use them. That was extremely confusing. Second, one of the top molding pieces came broken, so I think it should have been packed better. I was able to glue it together, sand it down and fill it so that you don't really see it. These bookcases are very well made (except for the backing which is just cardboardboard) and sturdy. I love the look and I do recommend them.
