We are delighted with our bookshelf. It is very modern and stylish and fits beautifully in a corner behind our large L-shaped sofa - a tricky space we were struggling to fill. Assembly is easy and this is all explained clearly in the instructions. It is not real wood but a convincing alternative with a textured wood grain effect-it looks much more convincing than cheaper MDF bookshelves we've had in the past. It's not a huge bookshelf but not tiny either - pictures are true to product and it is exactly what we were looking for. Download the assembly instructions from the product page and you can see all the dimensions more clearly prior to purchase. Delivery was clear and straight forward, we were given a specific time slot.
