The piece is certainly a nice looking one and the individual parts feel sturdy. Once put together, the feet were a little uneven, but nothing the wall anchor didn't fix. The bookshelf itself is a bit smaller than the pictures would lead you to believe, although if you pay any attention to the dimensions, it would tip you off to that reality.  However, does an awful job of packing the pieces--the primary reason for only 3 stars. The first time I ordered the shelf, it came pretty badly scratched. Sent it back no problem and ordered a new one. The second one, albeit less scratched, was still obviously scuffed; because the piece is a bit rustic (the scuffing *kind of* blends) and I didn't feel like toting another 80b package to the UPS store, I just kept it. One other small tiff: doesn't provide any extra screws, pegs, etc., so be careful not to lose any while assembling!
