Unlike other cheap and easy to assemble bookshelves, this one has an extra bit of class with the border around the front and the pieces are incredibly sturdy. It does take some time to assemble. However, the outcome is just really wonderful.￼ ￼

My true rating would be a 4.5 since there were some pieces that came a little scuffed that I had to clean and one area that was chipped. However that chipped piece ended up being on the inside where you can’t even see it. All in all, excellent purchase.
