This is a cute bookshelf, and will do what I need it to do while looking nice. It went together pretty easily, and I was able to do it all by myself. It’s light weight and not very deep, so anchoring it to the wall for safety and stability is pretty non negotiable. I docked it a star for two reasons. First, I think it’s a tad overpriced for what it is. Secondly, it was a really good thing I ordered two of these, because the first one I opened did not have any building instructions in it. Thankfully the second one had instructions and the crisis was averted.
