This bookshelf is beautiful, but the predrilled holes etc were not exactly lined up properly so getting it put together took 3 people and a lot of time and flexibility in terms of loosening, tightening, etc before actually getting it together.  And, none of the screws actually tightening up. They stopped at a certain point and just started spinning around.  We are just hoping it stays together and lasts for a while.  If we were to do it again, would not buy this item.
