Sturdy mission style book case that appears to be easily accommodating two full shelves of mostly hardback books without bowing or tipping. Attractive, above average quality, and looks to be much more expensive than it is. Plus, I could assemble it fairly easily by following the instructions in less than an hour, and the occasional errors (note that the side pieces with 3 holes must face inward!!) were purely due to not looking at the diagram closely enough. Very happy with this purchase!
