This was well packed, very easy to put together, had it done in no time at all.  The shelving is good quality and a sturdy bookcase overall.  The color is a greyish wood color that's a little warm and it is nice and a bit more modern.   I wasn't sure when I ordered it if it would be a silver or a flat grey or a warmer wood pattern.  It was hard to tell from the photos because they weren't close up. But it worked out and looks nice. Good purchase overall.
