This bookcase is a piece of junk. Several of the metal pieces were scratched/dented with paint missing even though they arrived in packaging that looked fine (i.e., this didn't happen during shipping). I ordered replacement pieces and they had the SAME PROBLEMS! There is clearly a quality control problem at the factory. Also, all pieces (glass and metal) had 1-2 stickers on them that took 20 minutes of rubbing with GooGone to get the stickiness off. Add to this the 2 hours it took to put the piece together . . . What a waste of time. Ended up returning item for a full refund. Don't believe the excellent reviews!
