The bookcase is very well made and was easy to put together. The size is quite large and fits our space. As others have said it looks like reclaimed wood from a distance but up close you can tell it is not. We have it in iur entry at work and have had a lot of good compliments on the appearance. I would buy it again. The cost was good and the delivery time was right on track. If you are on the fence, I would recommend purchasing it.
