This is a really gorgeous bookcase- incredibly solid with nice lines and simple construction. My only hesitation was the 25lb weight limit per shelf- about 3 art books on my scale. I think it’s because shelves are only supported by settling into notches on each side of the vertical boomerang beams (there’s nothing they rest on per se). I use it mostly as a decorative shelf but have had to purchase other bookcases to actually hold my (hefty) collection. Other than that it’s exactly as pictured.
