We needed a small bookshelf with very specific dimensions, and this ended up being a perfect fit. It arrived very well packed and was easy to put together. The wood shelves are somewhat rough, and I wish they were more finished/smoother, but I am not unhappy enough to want to return this. I would have given this five stars except for the fact that when we first opened the box, the smell of varnish (or some other chemical) was so strong that we had to keep the shelf in the garage for almost a week before bringing it in the house to ensure the smell had completely dissipated.
