This piece was easy to build and it looks quite attractive in our children's reading corner. Great size and the divider/bookends are a great asset as well. Only downfall was that when I opens it one of the bookends were broken in half. No need to worry though! A little wood glue fixed it up right as rain again. This item is both light weight and durable, once the boys acquire more books than it can hold then I will purchase an additional one.
