These are perfect for my purpose— used in a basement/kid’s hang-out room for books and lego display. Very sturdy- easy to put together but VERY heavy. If you are on your own, open box and move in pieces to final location. Assembled unit is actually pretty easy to move into place if you do this  BEFORE adding the 3 moveable shelves (where most of the weight comes from). Seams in the back can be noticeable . If you fill with books or other decorative items, the duo looks great. If you are displaying mostly nick-nacks  or photos in a central living room, they may really bug you/look cheap. But for tons of books and/or a secondary room I highly recommend. Can’t beat the price for 2!
