It's a nice looking bookshelf. Went together easily enough, but as others have said, don't tighten the screws until you have other pieces in place to make it easier. It's a bit wobbly because it's so narrow but be certain to put the heavier items on bottom and lighter items higher up. You can see the screws, but they are the same color as the frame, at least on the black and dark wood one so it doesn't look bad.
