The bookcase came promptly in a flat pack. It was well packaged and not too heavy to handle. When I opened it all the bits were there and with care the instructions were understandable. It went together OK but putting it together was rather complicated, tedious and time consuming. It would have been easy to go wrong. Once assembled the unit is functional and looks OK, up to a point. It is made from wood fibreboard with a printed plastic vaneer surface finish. That should be made more clear than it is in the description. 'Wood effect' can be misleading. At a glance it looks like wood but not close up. It really should come with plastic plugs to cover the screw heads visible on the side uprights and it would be more usefull if the shelves were adjustable (they aren't). It does the job and is reasonable value at £50. I would not pay £89 for it.
