The shelving unit is amazing and just what I expected.  Others have said it takes three people to put the unit together, and that is not the case.  One person with a short step ladder (depending on how tall you are - I'm only 5'8") is all you need.  The directions are easy to understand and follow.  My only disappointment was that on the inside of the top shelf there are two stickers.  One was very easy to remove, and the other is next to impossible to remove, even with Goo-Gone and a razor blade.  I ended up having to use a black Sharpie to fill in the areas where I unintentionally removed the finish.  The piece is very sturdy and attractive.
