Really solid piece of furniture. Most narrow bookcases are cheap ones; this is nice quality. The charcoal stained ash is a perfect color. Almost black but not quite. Worth the price if you need a very narrow bookcase. I used it in a condo entry that was open to living and dining to create a landing zone.

lived up to solid construction and material as expected.

All veneered particle board, with a solid wood door (also veneered). I expected more for the price. Good size, but shelves are not adjustable (the description said they were).
