Its made of pretty cheap materials but I think it will get the job done. I wanted a bookshelf that wouldnt take up all of my wall so this fits perfectly. My sister and I put this together and used a power took instead of a screw driver. I can be done with one but we are weak links. The only negative I would have to say is the back of the bookshelf is like a trifold piece of faux wood taped together (literally) that you nail to the structure. I know it probably wont last for a long long time but it will do for now to hold the books I have. Besides I couldnt pass up this deal.
