This bookcase is lovely. There are a few minor quality issues that show that it is a an ~$130 book case, but for the most part it looks nice, was relatively easy to assemble and had plenty of room for all my books. One thing I do think is worth mentioning is that if you want to mount the bookcase to the wall, which I'm sure is necessary for people that live in earthquake prone areas, you need a drill to be able to fix the extra bolts to the wall and the case itself. A screwdriver won't be enough.
