Bookcase is just as pictured.  Took 2 of us about 1 1/2 hours to assemble.  Assembly instructions were clear.  The bookcase seems well made and solid.  Moreover, we very much like the design and it looks great in our office. I would have rated this as 5* except that the delivery was not great.  It arrived one day after the scheduled delivery day, it was just dumped on our front porch and the box was in terrible shape - torn and had several holes.  Fortunately all the parts were still in the box and they had not been damaged.
