This bookcase is okay. It looks nice in the room and serves its purpose. Assembling it was easy except for two parts - the drawer and the back panels. The front panel of the drawer was very difficult to attach correctly and it refuses to shut completely. I also accidentally damaged the top piece while attempting to screw in the back panel. I think that this could have been prevented by using small nails for the back panel instead of screws, which is a bit of overkill in my opinion. You can't see the damaged part, so it's not too big of a deal. You DEFINITELY need to anchor this to the wall though. it's not very sturdy on its own.
