Love love love it. So glad I went for this make and not the popular, more expensive one with many negative feedbacks. Oops. In fact I might need a second one soon. It's common sense to not overstack it. I recommend highly to place big heavy books on the bottom, period. the rest of the way up, just put paperbacks NOT hard covers and you'll be very happy. I have a small apartment so this is perfect and looks neat and classy.
