This narrow bookcase was ideal for my layout, where I had little horizontal space to work with, but allowed me to store books, DVD's, accessories and other office items that were cluttering my home office. The bookcase is solid enough for the amount of contents and looks pretty good in the space. I like the various finish options - walnut, cherry, espresso, etc. I got cherry which is pretty dark. Honestly it looks a bit artificial, but it still looks good for a laminate. The shelves can be placed in any of the holes provided, but they do provide indications where they could be evenly spread if you wanted them to be symmetrical. The assembly was fairly easy and forgiving - I somehow forgot a part at the bottom and was able to insert it later on in the assembly when I had already assembled the top as well. There were small nails to attach the backboard to the shelves, but I thought these seemed superfluous because there are already enough brackets to hold the backboard in place se...
