Just took delivery of this bookcase - it appears to be quite solidly constructed and looks terrific.  I had carefully read the item's description and other buyers' reviews before purchase and knew that the glass doors were not clear but a "rainfall" type glass.  That and the slate inserts really make for a lovely piece.   We purchased the full service delivery primarily to avoid two retirees struggling this substantial furniture up a half flight of stairs - younger folks could undoubtedly manage on their own (as the two delivery people had no difficulty).  The legs were stored under the main body, so you would need to lay the bookcase on its back and screw the bolted legs in (no problem).  I needed to slightly adjust the level on one leg with a thin 3/4" round adhesive furniture "slider" pad - easily done.  All-in-all a near perfect experience, and we couldn't be more pleased.
