This bookshelf is exactly like I hoped it would be! It’s pretty easy to put together, I’m 26 year old female and did it all on my own. The directions are just pictures which is kind of annoying but you figure out what screws go to what holes pretty easily. A nice screw driver came with the stuff which is great. It is a bit heavy. I assembled everything on the floor then lifted it up to go against the wall. But as you can see from my pic I like to decorate the shelves and I still have empty space! 

I can’t wait to fill it up. Wish these were sold as singular shelving units too, it would make a nice set. For sure recommend though I’ve gotten a TON of compliments already on it!
