A lot of times you "get what you pay for" but put together this bookcase looks like it's worth more than it is. We have high ceilings and the tall bookcase looks great and seems sturdy, it comes with a kit to secure it to the wall if you think you need to. The dark expresso color matches our cabinets too! I would def buy this piece again. Only thing I didn't like was that some of the boards had some scratches on them when it came in. Clearly someone was pretty careless when they packaged this and that's not okay. It's not that noticeable on mine so I didn't complain, but I can scratch my own furniture thank you very much, don't need to pay for someone else to do it. Aside from that though, super happy with this piece, one of the best bargain purchases I've made online.
