The bookcase looks exactly like the picture and my husband said it was easy to put together. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because the measurements on the website were a bit misleading. I was specifically buying this to store our vinyl, and I thought it was perfect because the metal bars add extra support. The dimensions for the shelves did not factor in the metal bar, so you have to take that off in order to fit a record. The metal bars are removable so we are currently storing our vinyl on the bottom shelf and the second from the top so we can still use the metal bar under the vinyl, but that will only work in the short term. I’ve had this for 11 months and the shelf with the vinyl is bowing a bit, so I don’t know how stable it would be long-term without the bar. 

TL;DR: Great bookcase, but if you want to store vinyl on all four shelves it will not work.
