This is a really nice looking bookcase.  I think on sale it was a pretty good value.  I am deducting a star because it is a BEAST to put together and because it is very obviously particleboard.  It is pretty heavy and not very sturdy, which doesn't bode well for its durability.  (I bought two bookcases - the first took 2.5 hours to assemble and the second took closer to 1.5).
