Looks just like the photos, arrived earlier than expected and was easy to assemble. I am not someone who ha the patience, the time or the interest in putting things together but I was able to assemble this without help. There are instructions that came along with the parts. It is made of very heavy particle wood that makes it a very sturdy bookcase. The height is just perfect for my 18 month old. It's heavy enough that she won't topple the bookcase over. Unlike Ikea, this one won't chip as quick or as easy. It will fit nicely in her future room that might be very small. Love the shelves and bins below. It's a two in one. Keeps all toys and books organized. I love that the bin hides a lot of the clutter.
