I am disappointed in how this arrived. It looked like it was packaged well, but unboxing revealed multiple dings and scratches. It actually looks like they could have been there BEFORE it was packaged and sent. :(

We have a new baby on the way, and I needed a bookcase with these dimensions. Therefore, I could not deal with the headache of repackaging it and taking it to a UPS store. (It’s a very tall, heavy box.) 

So...I went ahead and put it together. It looks VERY BAD since every one those dings are featured on the outside edges. Anyone might think we just grabbed it off the street. I expect it to hold together for 6 months or so. I can’t believe how much we paid for this cruddy piece of furniture. 

PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS.
