Looks good. Takes up less space than you would think. It looks black but under certain lighting you can see it's a dark brown color. I didn't have any pieces that didn't fit like many other reviewers, but noticed if I didn't put the drawers together in an exact way than it appears lopsided/uneven. 

Took hours to complete but I was aware of that going in. Drawers seem a little flimsy, and the top shelves could be sturdier. Also the drawers don't have as much space as you would like either. It's not on wheels, but does move around very easily due to the plastic coasters on the bottom. 

All in all, a good looking bookshelf, doesn't take up much space. Not as functional as I would like due to low back shelving, not as sturdy shelves and smaller drawers, but for looks and spacing you would be hard pressed to find something better in this price range.
