I bought two of these bookcases I'm very happy to say they're definitely better than I thought. The bookcases were put together very easily and I am beginning to stain them now touching glue showed up on the bottom of one shelf but it's barely noticeable I will have to adjust the shelf height to accommodate the size of my books but that shouldn't be too difficult I'll just have to drill a couple of holes, i'm hoping this wouldn't comes from a sustainable source definitely buy these bookcases you won't be sorry
