Ordered the 36" Espresso bookcase. Arrived undamaged and very well packed. Pieces were wrapped in foam sheets, separated by corrugated cardboard and dense foam blocks. All hardware still in package and accounted for. Finish was flawless; no typical shipping marks or abrasions. Appears to be all solid wood, except for the backing which is finished plywood. Assembly was easy. Do note that when the shelves are set on the middle support pegs, they are separated by only 9" or so. Would recommend these shelves to anyone.
