 Sturdy and easy to assemble. Jul 26, 2010
It is sturdy enough. Though it is supposed to be fixed to the wall, you don't need to do so. I was a little worried because its width is only 24 inches, compared with 30 inches of my other bookcases, but this one is sturdier than my 30-inch bookcases.
It is a large bookcase, so it takes hours to assemble this. But it's not really hard to assemble. You can make it without electric drivers.

 serviceable Aug 15, 2009
There is no way that this bookcase's original price was $402.56. It's not even real wood; it's that "pressed board" thing. Sometimes on amazon you really do find impossible-to-believe deals, but in this case, you get what you pay for. The item's value is misrepresented.
It took me 4 1/2 hours to assemble it. I am a single woman who has assembled only a bench -- which required only an allen wrench (provided!) -- and a console table. I have no tools other than a four-way screwdriver. I think that it could be assembled in about 80 or 90 or 100 minutes by a man who has assembled furniture before and who has a decent tool collection. Assembly instructions, although in diagrams only, are fairly clear.
Now that it is assembled and in place, I will say that it looks nice enough. For a graduate student's apartment. I have yet to unpack my boxes full of books and test the strength of the shelves, though. I think and I hope that they will prove sturdy enough.
In truth, I enjoyed spending the 4 1/2 hours putting this thing together, because I learned that I can do it! I can assemble furniture by myself.
Finally, there were no items missing. Everything that was supposed to be included was included. And again, I did it with nothing but a 4-way screwdriver.

Nice looking piece of furniture May 22, 2009
It's a bit narrower than I expected, but very nice looking. It turned out to be the perfect size for my son's VHS and DVD collection. I'll probably buy another one to get more shelf space.

Great stuff May 03, 2009
I've yet to get a negative comment on this. I recently purchased a house and two of these for the small library of books I have (both are 95%+ full). I was impressed by the actual quality of this, as were other members of my family. They look a lot more expensive than they really are and are sturdier than they may need to be. Assembly is easy as well. Not sure I would necessarily use them as my "best" shelves, but they are good for if you want to make a library for your house and want to do it inexpensively.

 Extremely disappointed Apr 26, 2009
Incredibly disappointed. Product supposedly marked down from $300, but I have bought better bookcases for much less. I at least expected for this price and based on the products picture, that the back of the bookcase was wood, not just thin plastic veneer. Plus the fact that the assembly directions are not great, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Future buyers beware! My worst purchase online
