We ordered white color, and some parts (especially edges) are not clean and chipped. However, those flaws became not so much visible after assembly, especially with all the toys on the shelves. I love the shelf' depth -- the bottom storage hold most of my daughter's crazy amount of stuffed animals. Well, we bought two of the shelves, so it was. Also, the depth allowed all of our big board games to be stored nicely on the shelf. The bookcase is deep and heavy in the bottom, so there's no concern of tipping over. It is perhaps the best bookshelf we can find for the kids' room. Assembly was easy but takes about 20 minutes for each bookcase.
