I absolutely love this bookcase. It is so unusual and is a statement piece. Took a bit of work to assemble it. But everything was in great shape and went together nicely. The color of the wood is pretty, and the fact that it has the top on it where you could put a picture or some other decorative piece is very nice. The box on the bottom is also useful. I have it beside a chair in my room so I put chargers and a power strip inside that box so it is easy to access. The size is nice. It holds a lot of books and magazines.
