This bookcase has a very sturdy feel to it. It is actually quite heavy! It was easy to put together taking no more than 20 minutes once all the pieces are out of the box. It is a generous size and can be used for many different purposes. If this is being used for a child’s room or playroom I do recommend anchoring it to the wall due to the weight. It has adjustable shelves that allow you to customize the height of each shelf. I gave it three stars due to the gap from the seam on the back panels. It comes in two pieces and does feel flimsy. I was unable to get the pieces to come together for a seamless look. You can see the gap in the pictures. Once the bookshelf is full perhaps this won’t be noticeable. I would recommend purchasing a bookcase with a back panel that is one piece.
