We received the bookcase today and started putting it together. There were 10 long screws missing to begin with. Then when we got it together the long side pieces didn't meet exactly so the joints didn't look good. It would have been really simple for the manufacture to include 2 long wood strips rather than 2 awkward joints for each piece. It would have been nice if there were something to cover the screw heads so they weren't seen against the white shelves. We were very disappointed with the overall look of the shelves.
