Easy assembly and once some heavy items are placed on the shelves it is relatively sturdy. Unfortunately the bolts and wood holes are visible all over this product, even on top shelf. At the time of writing this review, this was not clear on the website images or mentioned anywhere in the description. It's a cheap bookshelf, I get that but if you are going to design it in this way, it needs to be clear otherwise prepare yourself for a high return rate, as I did myself.
