This bookcase is quite sturdy and easy to put together. It arrived with one end of the box open and a couple of pieces fell out as the FedEX guy carried it to my door. No damage. This appears to be a FedEX issue and not a Wayfair issue.  I bought this piece based on its size, color and reviews. It will go in my home office and it suits the purpose I have for it. I'm glad I got it.
