We bought this bookshelf because it was solid wood in the right color. We've had them for a few years and I'm glad I purchased them. They look nice and they hold my books. They survived a move perfectly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Would have been 5 stars except one of the back screw locations was too close the inside. It split the wood out on the inside side piece. I had to take it back apart to repair it!
I was disappointed with the bookcase during and after assembly. There were 3-4 large scratches on the pieces right out of the box. The backing piece was very cheap looking and did not look like wood to match the rest of the bookcase. I am very dissatisfied with this purchase.
Other retailers sell this same exact bookcase, perhaps under a slightly different name, at luxury prices. Great product and great value. Assembly is required and an occasional extra hand is encouraged. I purchased two and will probably purchase more. Nice to eventually replace all of my particle board bookcases with real wood.
