Exactly what we were looking for. Applied a white wash stain to protect it. It looks orange in our pictures but that's because of the reflection of our orange floors. Without adding a sealant, I'd be worried of stains from regular use.

The quality of this bookcase is excellent. My only regret is the fact that Rubber wood is challenging to finish. Actually it is worse than that. I'll just prime and paint and that will cost me another $50/$60.

Easy to put together and after applying my own stain and polyurethane, the unit looks very nice. Just a bit shallow for textbooks. The fixed shelves/pre-drilled holes don’t allow for tall book storage.

Unusually sturdy, simple and attractive.

Nice sturdy bookcase that looks great in the intended space!
