Very nice looking shelf and exactly what I needed. Very high quality for the price and I really like the way the black coated wood grain looks. It was easy to put together. The back piece requires to be screwed in the corners with those little plastic pieces. The screws seemed a little big. I screwed one in and noticed it started to split the back piece a little bit and I figured if I do all of them it could show splits in the front. This is the only reason I give it a 4. I suppose you could drill a pilot hole with a tiny drill bit but I decided to just spot glue the entire back piece instead and using those little plastic pieces too and laying it flat down to dry. You can use hot glue or wood glue. It looks great!!
