This book cherry bookcase is extremely solid, heavy and attractive.  We used it in our kitchen for cookbooks, etc.  It makes the room very cozy and is nice for extra storage or collections.  It was a bit expensive, but one gets what one pays for in this world!  It's the kind of furniture that one could easily use again in a future move to another house or apartment.  It mixes easily with other furniture or bookcases of the same ilk.  We had it delivered and used "white glove service" as it was heavy and we  wanted packing to be removed by the movers.  Well worth it!
