This book case is well made and sturdy.  It was a bit of a pain to put together because of the lack of written instructions, but it wasn't bad.  Make sure you have all posts/hole, etc. facing the same/correct way.  The wood tone of the shelves matches well with coffee/end tables.  It's a bit taller than I expected but that's on me for not considering the height correctly.  I did buy a second one in order to balance out the room.  I hope this one will be in as good shape as the first!
