The bookcase is very narrow and not terribly tall. But it is perfect in the small space it was purchased for. Another very well packaged piece of furniture. However all three shelf pieces were badly scratched on the top surfaces. Nothing on the packaging that would have done that. All pieces were separated by styrofoam. So it would have been packaged that way. Disappointing, but the scratches will be covered by books and other items so won't be very noticeable.
