This is definitely one of the better quality purchases we have made through Wayfair. It's fairly simple to put together, but pay attention because the middle shelf that screws in has to be turned a certain way so it is flush with the rest of the bookshelf. We had to take the whole thing apart to redo that. Other than that, I'm pretty surprised at how well this piece is made. It's VERY HEAVY, though. Make sure you have someone to help you get it inside and where you want it to go. That means it should last longer, though.
