This case looks quite nice (especially from a distance), and we were grateful it arrived without any visible damage. We over-tightened one of the handles when attaching them so the bolts immediately became stripped (had to find a new bolt to attach it). Turning the other handles till they were just tight worked - at least for now. The handles themselves look a bit cheap, and the doors don't shut very close very close together despite adjustments to the hinges. The chemical smell is still pretty strong a week later, but it's going down. The rest of the bookcase looks amazing - it's exactly what we were looking for with the different shelving options.  With two of us putting it together it didn't take too long, but we could see how hard it would be if trying to do it alone.
