It's beautiful and solid, but there were no pilot holes in the wood, so 2 people for sure have to put this together, as one needs to hold the wood shelving and the other needs to twist in the screws. It would also be great if there was a way to level the legs. It's very likely that it's my floor that's uneven, but the bookcase wobbles a little. I'm hoping it will even out with the weight of my books and decorative items once I get them unpacked and placed after my move.
