Shipping was incredibly fast to begin with! I just moved and didn't want to put shelves on the walls so I needed another bookcase. This will be great for my small books. Very cute and stylish. Perfect for my small bedroom that I am turning into a reading nook. I only gave 4 stars because adding the last piece tried my patience. Tips: Make sure you build this on an elevated surface, this is important especially when adding the last back piece. 
When you add the "spine" on top and are trying to line up the holes to the wooden pegs, put two screws into the bottom board to anchor it so you can manuever the "limbs" to get the pegs into the holes.
Hopes this helps!!!
