This is so misleading! Dark wood doesnt even look good with black. Why would you sell it with dark wood! They even decorate in photos with light natural pieces on the shelves. They are not real wood, so now we have to paint them, which is not the look I wanted in my salon.

These are exactly what I was looking for for in the office I am creating. The package has arrived and I am excited to build them and get some books on them.

I don’t like that the front pieces are not one solid piece, meaning you can see all the seams. It looks cheap. The black veneer chips easily and shows fingerprints. I wouldn’t recommend this piece at all. Poor quality that I doubt will last. If it weren’t such a hassle to return it, I’d send it back.

Beautiful bookcase. Easy to put together. I liked it so much I got another one.

The construction of the actual shelf is actually quite tricky, because the screws, you have to twist and turn and lining up everything perfectly was a bit challenging, once built though it does look like the picture. I will say for the price I wish that the hardware was painted or come in the color that matches the wood, so that you do not have to add these circular stickers to hide it. Overall it took me about 2 hours to put together (alone) but once done I was satisfied.
