DO NOT BUY this bookshelf! It's not only hard to put together, but the screws on the side and on top are visible. The flimsy white stickers they deliver with it should cover those screws up. As you can see in the photos (on their website), there is no such thing as visible screws ... the white is kind of an off-white. The bookshelf looks like you picked it up from GoodWill or some 2nd hand shop. The bookshelf feels flimsy and is. I unfortunately cannot recommend this product. Better off to check IKEA or so where there is better pricing & quality and a better return policy.
