Several of the wooden pegs used to put the bookcase together broke off in their holes while I was assembling the bookshelf. The parts that broke off were wedged in the holes so tightly that I could not get them out.  So, as a result, I have an unsafe and unstable bookshelf.  I did not bother requesting replacement pegs because the holes to put the pegs in had to broken pegs stuck in them.  What a waste of my money and time.  Don't buy this bookshelf.
