The wood seems to be a bit soft. At the very top back side, the bookcase sides will split when the screws are inserted through the back slat, so care must be taken to add some glue, perhaps put clamps on the top sides while inserting the screws, or drilling the holes a tad larger first, or just a tad smaller dia screws for the top.
We are happy with the bookcase, it serves its purpose. For its price though I expected quality and heft to be a notch or two better.
Lastly, I suggest adding some small self stick protective pads on the back side on the slats so that the bookcase can be against the wall and not scratch the wall or the bookcase.I purchased this shelf for my office at work. It is quite sturdy and the shelves are large enough to store many items. The wood color is as described. Looks very nice in my office.

I liked them so much I bought three. Super easy set up and good quality. Fits big books and small books.Love this bookshelf! It fits plenty of books, picture frames, and other cute trinkets. The open top allows me to place taller items such as plants; it also creates a much more open and airy feel rather than a boxed off storage space. The open sides and ladder-like structure receives tons of compliments. The dark wood also has a nice finish. Definitely a great addition to any room or library! Only negative was that the wood came off a bit when drilling the nails in--it's still definitely worth the price though since it's pretty inexpensive.This is awesome 5 shelf book case. It was easy to put together and it looks great in angled in the corner of the room.
