VERIFIED PURCHASE
When I saw this bookshelf, I knew it would be perfect for my daughter's room and would help remove the clutter of her stuffed animals by providing a nifty storage space on the bottom. My husband put this together in what took longer than I thought, being that we've put together *several* of similar units in the past. It was worth the wait, with some minor disappointments at the end.
Time aside, from afar the unit looks great. But, as I got closer and started to put books on the shelves, I noticed some imperfections. The edges where the "trim" is attached is bubbly and wavy- not smooth. There are edges on almost every shelf and down the length of the whole unit. This was disappointing. Even though the unit is very affordable, you don't expect it to come with imperfections such as these.
Also, a plus is that it comes with a wall anchor. This is so important for when you have kids! The only disappointment was that the screw that came with it was too short and didn't account for the baseboard, so we have to go get a longer screw. Not really a huge deal, but it just meant that the first day it wasn't secure and we had to explain to our daughter not to climb.
Overall, it's a nice looking piece. There are some flaws, but for the price point, it gets the job done and still looks nice.
