These shelves were very easy to put together, with well-labeled pieces and clear instructions. They are very good quality for the price. (Obviously in this price range you can't expect them to be made of solid mahogany wood, but the white and wood veneer looks crisp and modern in my living room.) I love the shelf size variety, they are a perfect place to display my favorite extra-tall art books and kaleidoscope collection. I saw a few people complain that the smallest shelves are too small for dvd's, and that's true, but they fit blue-rays or PS4 games perfectly, so the size is fine for my purposes. I'm very happy with my purchase.
