Fantastic! Just fantastic. Bookcase arrived on time with all pieces, including a screwdriver. It was a bit frustrating that it came in a (carry-able sized) box but that box was put in another (wayyy too big) box that was really hard to maneuver and contained nothing else but those air-bag-bubbles. Overpackaging aside, the shelf itself is great. The wood is smooth and clean. The metal edging is smooth - no worries about nicking yourself. The screws all fit in each slot cleanly. It was easy to put together. Not too heavy, either.My shelf is filled to the brim with books, including small novels and heavy-duty college textbooks, and it has no trouble with the weight. Shelf heights are good for most book sizes standing straight up.
