This was exactly what I wanted and needed for our books (still in the process of organizing them right now but wanted to take a moment to review. Got the unit within a week or two of ordering and put it together on the next Saturday morning, eager to put it to use. Went together extremely easy! Pieces are not labeled and some are very similar to the others, so it's important to pay attention to what piece you are holding. There are only sixteen screws that come with this package in there all the exact same size and use the same hex tool so there's no mixing them up which is nice. It didn't take too long to put it together, I put it all together by myself within an hour, stopping a few times to tend to my infant. However, I was disappointed to find out that the first and third shelf of the unit do not actually screw into anything. Unfortunately, between that and the backer pieces coming slightly bowed, the 1st and 3rd shelves had a lot of wiggle room, leaving just over half an inch gap when the shelves were pulled forward. I called the manufacturer of the products directly the following Monday, they answer the phones very quickly and were very friendly and worked to find a solution. I emailed them some of the pictures I included in this review, and they had their assembly team build one as well to find a solution. The solution ended up being a redesign of the side pieces for the unit, which they sent to me via FedEx. The new side pieces still allow the first and third shelves to wiggle/float back and forth, but to a slightly lesser degree. This whole process has taken more time and effort than I would have liked, but I needed a bookshelf and this style and solid wood fit the bill. If the 1st and 3rd shelves also had screws to tighten them into place, this would easily be a 5 star rating. I'm still going to keep this unit and possibly order a 2nd, depending on how many books I have left once I fill this one up!
