It took longer for me to get this out of the box, then it did to set up!!! I HIGHLY recommend this product - it is REAL wood - not particle board. I didn't have any nicks, chips or scratches on it as some other reviews seem to report. Get one - you won't be disappointed.

I ordered 2 of these for my 2 boys and, for what I paid, I am impressed. By the way, I hesitated for months before going ahead and actually placing the order :)

Fully assembled
---------------
Is just that. Believe it or not, it take less than 3 minutes to get the bookcase out of the box and... unfold it into a fully assembled bookcase. It does come with instructions on how to do it but they are not needed.

Genuine, solid wood
-------------------
It's true. It's made of real, hard wood and it appears to be built to last.

Size
----
48Hx23Wx12D means that it is FOUR FEET tall which is not very tall. You get 4 decent shelves that are about 2 feet wide. The unit looks exactly as it the picture show it.

Quality of workmanship
----------------------
On TWO units, I noticed one chipped area, about 1/4" by 1/4". I'm not sure if it came that way or, maybe I was responsible for chipping it. Other than than, everything seems to be well glued and screwed in place. Again, for what I paid, I have no complaints.

Overall evaluation
------------------
Knowing what I know today, I would order these. Note: I got free shipping. Without free shipping, I would probably hesitate.

It's a sturdy, beautiful bookcase. Extremely easy setup. The deep shelves can fit plenty; the unwalled back and sides make aligning books a bit awkward, but it's not a big deal. I highly recommend.

Very nice product for the price. I was very happy with my purchase. No assembly was required and the bookcase is very sturdy. Good purchase for the kids books.

I LOVE how easy it was to put this together
like 5 mins...!!! out of which 4 were spent in opening the box
only thing - it's a tad small
wish they made one in a bigger size!
