This bookcase looks great - I've gotten several compliments on it already.  Assembly took about two solid hours - with a helper for much of it.  I would recommend a helper for time's sake.  Once assembled, it is quite sturdy.  Fine is full of books on every shelf and it holds up.  Great value, but be gentle on the finish as it is fiberboard and it will flake.  Looks great.  

Pros: Lots of bang for the buck, vintage look.
Cons: Assembly time, feeble finish.
