It was super easy to put together, no scratches, sturdy. Perfect in every way except for the top piece of the wood on each bookcase (I should have taken a picture) had 3 huge stickers on it about safety on it. It was terribly hard to get off. If they were going to do that then put it on the board that is facing the floor. I couldn't get the sticky part off, I could only get the paper part off. The wood doesn't scratch easy so thats a plus when trying to get the stickers off. I used my finger nail and a scratchless scrub pad. Other than this tedious part it is perfect!
