For modular furniture, this is a really great piece! I saw other reviewers were unhappy with the back of the bookcase... yes it does have a wood veneer back, but when it is set up and you have your belongings on the shelf, it isn't even noticeable, it looks like real wood. This was all pretty easy to put together although I forgot the two wooden pegs... it's still standing though!  

Pros: Style, solid construction, easy to assemble
