I'm really happy with this bookshelf! It looks nice in my living room. If there was a half-star option, I’d give it 4.5 stars. Here’s why I'm taking off a bit: 1) There was a scratch on one of the top pieces, but it's small and I can cover it with a marker, so I decided not to bother with a replacement. The box was fine, so I think it happened before packing. No biggie, I can fix it easily. 2) I saw a lot of reviews saying it’s easy to put together, but I didn’t find it that way. I’ve done a good amount of furniture assembly and home repairs, but this took me a couple of hours. Some screws needed a lot of strength, and I ended up stripping a few. I probably should’ve used a drill, but I followed the instructions and didn’t. Next time, I might just go for the drill to save time and frustration. 3) Some mentioned the sides feel wobbly, but I think it’s pretty sturdy when it’s all put together. I do worry it could fall forward if bumped, so I used the safety strap to attach it to the wall since I have two dogs who play rough. It's on a carpet, which might help, but I'm not too sure. I didn’t like how big the hole for the safety strap looked, so I ended up cutting the backboard a bit and taping it back to hide it better. Overall, this is a good piece of furniture that I'm glad to have. No regrets about my purchase! Also, a shoutout to the person at Hawkins Woodshop who delivered it—he was nice and carried it inside for me since it was heavy and I was alone. I appreciated that!
