This case is very sturdy. There is no way the shelves will ever sag with heavy books. It's large and looks beautiful.  If you put the pieces in order, and follow the directions, it's pretty easy to put together with 2 people. It took us about an hour to do. We didn't put the bottom parts on because it seems more stable without it.

The only con I have is that it is a bummer CD's won't fit in the little shelves.  Still, I am delighted with this purchase.
