We bought this on sale for my daughter’s bedroom. The bookcase is normally close to $400 and we bought it over Memorial Day weekend for about $100. I was excited to get such a deal. Now I know why. Every spot where the nails were inserted created a crack. Besides that, I don’t think it is sturdy at all. I wish I would have known before I purchased!  Don’t waste your money even if it does seem like a great sale steal.
