The reason for a 4 star rating is that I researched a lot of bookcases and because I live in a flood prone area I went with the ones that said the material was WOOD.... others stated mnf wood which meant particle board.  I was disappointed in the fact that the description said WOOD.....this should be changed....also one small piece was damaged but I was able to turn it upside down so it's not noticable. To return them would be a nightmare.....as heavy as they are.
