Love this bookcase, but the assembly was a bit confusing.  The back pieces were to be put on vertically rather than horizontal.  My husband thought they were the wrong size, so he cut them to fit.  This was not a good idea, as they didn't fit that way.  A more clear picture or directions would have been helpful.  We managed to patch a refigure, and it looks fine.  It is also not white like the picture shows, but nice wood, which I just oiled.
