Very nice piece of furniture. As most people said, it has a lot of pieces, but it did not feel like it took way too long to assemble. About 2 hours were enough to open the box and put the bookcase together. It is a very nice addition to my living room, the drawers open and close easily, does not look cheap at all, no cracks or scratches - it is more then what I expected. I highly recommend this bookcase.
