My daughter's cheap bookshelf was coming apart and I was worried it would fall on her. I found this one and thought it was a good price, read all the reviews, thought about it.... I ended up ordering two, one for each of my girls. GREAT DECISION if I don't say so myself :) They have a great look to them, are very sturdy and I love that the wood backing is inlay rather than nailed on top of the frame, which is what came apart on our old one. And it was very easy to assemble! This thing is not coming apart any time soon so I feel better knowing they are safe in my girls' bedrooms. I also love the drawer that hides little extras or stuff that won't fit on the shelves. LOVE IT!
