I really love this bookshelf. The geometric look, light finish, mid-century modern style feet. I assembled it alone and had no trouble doing it. There are a lot of pieces but it was fairly simple. The only drawback may be if you have carpet like we do the shelf has had a slight tilt forward because the surface isn’t even on the legs. If you have hardwood that shouldn’t be an issue. Also the safety hookup at the top is a plastic zip tie so ours snapped off within a day. If tipping is a major concern, but you like the look of this shelf, then probably just buy an L-bracket to attach to the top of the shelf and the wall.
