Turned out just as pictured! Some comments- this took a couple hours to build and a few mistakes along the way as there are no written instructions. The booklet provided shows only pictures, no words, and most pieces are not labeled. Also heed my warning that they expect you to mount this to the wall using L brackets and wall studs- I’m renting an apartment and don’t have the equipment to do this. This bookcase can stand on its own without mounting, but it’s not the most stable and shifts from side to side pretty easily. All in all it’s a great look for the price, just make sure you set aside a few hours to assemble and locate your wall studs in advance.
