I really like this bookcase.  The color is very true to the picture, a nice gray that's on the darker side.  The drawers don't glide open and closed with ease, but that was to be expected.  Overall this is a really nice piece of furniture!  Looks rich, not cheap.  Well-made.  And the very best part.......NO ASSEMBLY!!!  :) Well, by far my husband's favorite part.  It all comes 100% pre-assembled!!
