Piece is tall and also sturdy.  I like it in the space in my dining room.  The bottom part with the doors has a lot of space for things to hide away from sight.  I had a couple issues assembling.  Difficult to get the two sides together due to crooked screw holes.  Hard to get the back on straight (I need to take mine off and redo it).  I had a couple instances where screws tore the material surrounding holes.  But all in all I'm happy with the bookcase and I will probably buy a matching piece (TV stand) to go with it.
