It's a good bookcase overall. Some people commented on this is almost the same as a particular model that West Elm carries. Well, this one is definitely not as sophisticated as the West Elm one, in terms of the paint the the wood grain. Considering this is only half the price (MSRP wise), it's not bad. But if I were to choose again (knowing what it really looks like), I'd pick the West Elm one (when it's on sale ).
