I love my new bookcase! The color (acorn) is a rich, golden color. The shelves are spaced out nicely and deep enough to hold all sorts of items- books, plants, storage boxes, etc. Assembly was to be expected- a little tedious but not too difficult. The only criticism I have was the packaging- when the box arrived, it was dented and torn at a couple of corners and when I opened it, one of the sides of the bookshelf was cracked/fractured. I immediately let Wayfair know and they sent a replacement. When the second box came in, again, dented and torn but nothing was seriously damaged. There were a couple of small imperfections but they were not noticeable once the bookcase was assembled.
