Overall, I would say it's a good bookcase. I ordered two of them for my office. One was in great shape, and one had a bent piece that had to be straightened out for it to be put together. They were both packaged well, and were delivered very quickly. They don't seem super sturdy, but I wouldn't call them cheap either. I got them on sale for $180 each & I'm not really sure they are worth that price. I think the look of them will bring a lot of compliments because they are very pretty. Other than the bent piece that had to be worked on to make fit properly, they were easy enough to put together.
