I was looking for an economical way to build a bookcase. They are really expensive out there, so I bought 4 of these units and put them together on my wall. I secured them and I think they look really good! The only thing that I found a bit of a challenge was the assembly. It took 2 of us about 3 hours to do all four, but the longest one was the first. I recommend you follow the directions exactly as described without any shortcuts because if you mess up on one step the whole thing can't be put together and you have to go back and disassemble what you did. Overall I highly recommend it!
