I love this bookcase. Holds up very well against me piling more and more books on it, and looks great in my living room. My plants have leaked on the wood, but the water doesn't seem to have stained it noticeably. I've put together a LOT of Wayfair furniture and this one was by far the easiest assembly. Still took a couple of hours, but I'm just one person. I get loads of compliments on it all the time!
