This is a very interesting and unique bookcase,it will fit a good number of books in a compact place. Make sure you use the screws supplied (with a decent screw driver) to add stability to this build. The tabs and slots fit remarkably well and you will be tempted not to use the screws, use the screws!! The bookcase revolves easily and looks great. Stain to suit, I will use a water base stain and a water base top coat after a light sanding. I was very satisfied with this little project.
