The bookcase is the perfect size for smaller living spaces. While the piece is very visually appealing, it is not the most sturdy piece of furniture. Once assembled, the bookcase may fall apart if you ever need to move the furniture, particularly from one location to another. Fortunately, the directions are clear and I was able to reassemble the bookcase with some family assistance. It has held up well since then, but I am apprehensive about putting too many books or decorative items on the shelf. Overall, I am happy with the look and the delivery speed was excellent!
