These bookcases are pretty nice once you assemble them, which was no easy task!  There are a lot of pieces, several were unmarked, which made it more difficult. The back of the cabinet is pretty flimsy.  It would have been great if the valance and some of the outer boards were pre-assembled and you just had to add the two big pieces together, the backing and the shelves.  We ordered two and the second one was easier!  It does make nice storage for my jewelry.
