I felt compelled to write a review here for this bookcase. The photos online looked nice but the price was almost too good to be true when compared to others I'd been looking at.
Well, I ordered 3 and while there are a LOT of pieces to put together, the bookshelf is SUPER heavy and well made. Definitely not a lightweight piece of junk. The directions to put together are excellent and all of the predrilled holes and parts were perfect. Each unit will take maybe 2-3 hours to put together. I did the first one by itself and when my other 2 arrived, I got really organized and did them at the same time, side by side to save some time.
My only piece of advice is to really look at the drawings carefully because there are a couple of pieces you could put on backwards if you're not careful. Also, when the top gets placed on the base, you'll likely need another person to help you if you aren't tall and/or strong.
Highly recommend!!!
P.S. Pics include one that shows all the wood pieces for one bookshelf. The photos that shows the hardware is for 2 bookshelves that I mixed together.
