I needed 2  22 inch wide bookcases' that were 70 inches tall so we bought this one & put it together without the center 4 shelves & now have the 2 bookcases that are the tall narrow ones I needed. We did fasten each to the wall for safety. All parts were in the boxes, nothing was bent or broken, & holes lined up. I did give this 4 stars because though I love the metal & design the FAKE wood is very cheap looking & has a shine that makes it even uglier ! I hope after they are loaded with books & "stuff" they will be less offensive.
