Overall this bookshelf has a nice look to it, and it’s the style I wanted. A few issues though: It’s really short, and I wish it had one more shelf at the top. The brown color looked more of a gray-brown or light-brown on the photos, but mine is a much darker brown. I wasn’t pleased that wood glue was needed to assemble it, and some pieces didn’t line up quite right. I was able to put it all together in under an hour, but I was disappointed with overall construction and quality. It’s not very sturdy and it wants to lean backwards, I’m nervous that it could fall over easily, so the wall anchor is definitely something you should install. There was a varnish smell when I unboxed it, and I had a headache after assembling it. The smell was gone the next day, so not as bad as some other products I’ve assembled. Despite the things I don’t like about this shelf, I still give it 4 stars for the look of it and I’m going to keep it.
