The quality is ok, but the shelves/slings aren't very practical.  I'm a stay at home mom that's not very handy, and was able to put this together myself, and have been using it for about 1 1/2 years.  Only complaint is that it's only good for really large children's books. If they're small, they go down too far and you can't find them.  If I had to do it again, I would have just gotten a bookshelf.
