Sturdy and stylish, with fairly lucid directions for assembly. It's not fine furniture, but it's several steps above IKEA and a good choice for home office or studio.
The unit is not solid black as pictured--it's got a rubbed finish with some touches of deep red showing through on the edge, quite nice.

The book case fit compactly in the corner of the kitchen w/o looking over towering. The shelves are deep; the style and finish isn't cheap looking, and construction solid. A great buy.

My 86 year old mother has a huge collection of framed family photos and has never had a place to display more than a few at a time. SMom had the photos packed in boxes and if she was ever going to spend time with the subjects in the pictures, it had to be soon. I looked at many bookcases before deciding on this one. The shelves were larger than other bookcases in this price range and I liked the overall look. My husband put the bookcase together easily but said he had to be careful with the backing as it was a bit flimsy. That's to be expected since this is not a $2,000 bookcase. Once assembled, the bookcase is sturdy enough for our purposes (not sure about loading it with heavy books) and looks great. Really much nicer than I expected. My mother LOVED it and started pulling out storage boxes right away. She had all 5 shelves filled with photos in 1 day and was thrilled with the final result. All her picture frames look great on the black bookcase. Mom's recliner is directly across the room from the bookcase and she is thoroughly enjoying viewing the fruits of her labor. I highly recommend this bookcase for display purposes. I don't think you can get a better style for the price.
