This bookcase is a beautiful addition to our living room. It holds all of our children's books and games. This item is flawless, with the exception of assembly. My husband is an excellent craftsman, but if it weren't for his skill level, he would not have been able to put it together so well. The instructions were missing an important step, which he was able to figure out on his own. He also had to saw two of the front wood pieces down a little to ensure a secure fit. I'm certainly glad we bought it, but it was at the labor-expense of my husband .
