The bookcase is not a worthwhile addition to any space if it can't be assembled. It is impossible to put together with two strong adults who can use tools. The material board schattered apart and became chipped and damaged. It was warped and the screws didn't align well enough to keep the shelves together. If I hadn't thrown out the box due to all the material and the space it took up where we were trying to put together I would have sent it back no matter what the cost. It was a waste of money and I will never trust this site again. If they actually publish this review.......Beware
