We purchased one of these after moving into a house with no built-in bookcases (like the house we just sold). We liked it so much we ordered 2 more. I like that it has the drawer - we have music books in one drawer, school supplies (pencils, etc) in another one. One of the 3 arrived with one of the drawer pieces cracked, but it still worked and given the price, it didn't seem like that big of a deal.
