This bookcase does look very modern and nice. It is heavy and the materials seem like good quality. A few issues I had with it were 1) how the shelves were more of an off white color which doesn't match my true white furniture and 2) after I assembled it, I noticed it was a little off balance and had to place something under one of the legs to even it out. I do get a lot of compliments on it though, so overall pleased with my purchase.
