Nice looking bookcase, but a few things I found disappointing: The finish is somewhat rough making it difficult to dust without lint sticking to it. As I was putting it together, I noted that the holes in the very top shelf didn't line up and it took a few taps from my mallet to slightly bend the dowels so I could push it into the sidebars. The instruction sheet shows MANY steps on the same picture. The pieces (screws, dowels, etc.) are adequately labeled (with the exception of 2 pieces), but once you open the packaging to remove them, the labeling remains on top of the packaging and the pieces are no longer separated or labeled. Nice bookcase, cheap instructions and packaging. Wait 'til it's on sale to buy it, and then you may want to add another layer of lacquer to make it easier to dust.
