Good if you're looking for a cute bookcase for your place that isn't anything too serious and won't break the bank. I have had this bookcase for a handful of months at the time of this review.
It is true what another review says about the outside color peeling a bit, however, with careful assembly (you definitely need 2 people to put this together), there are barely noticeable spots where the paint came off on mine. You can only really tell if you take a very close look. It's a good starter bookshelf if you're like me and just want something unique in your lil apartment that isn't the basic square bookshelves at other major stores. It's fairly sturdy in terms of holding weighty items, however, this is not a high-quality, genuine-solid-wood piece of furniture. The actual shelves are sturdier and more durable than the outside arched piece, and I think the back panel is probably the flimsiest part so be wary of that. I do like the style though, nice and smooth.
