This is a great bookshelf for the price. The issues we have are minor. Some of the pieces didn't fit correctly so there are very visible gaps in between pieces on the top front where everyone can see. A small piece was also missing that covers a screw head for appearance. It's sturdy on hard floor but requires L brackets if used on carpet. Other than that its a great shelf. Like all press wood shelves, it won't last forever but as opposed to a walmart press wood shelf, this shelf is gold.
