Once you measure the bookshelf then decide if it a good fit for you, see note below. This was a replacement for one that had be in place for about 10 years and was a bit of an upgrade. This is not a focal piece by any means but does the job just fine. I like the "lip" around the whole thing that gives a bit of dimension. I also like that at the middle (fixed) and bottom shelf there is an optional circle cut out if you want to place cords through. I had to do cutouts previously, so this was appreciated.There are reviews that seemed surprised at the size. The dimensions are included so I did something of a mock-up against a current bookshelf and was happy with the sizing. Why so many people buy things without fully measuring is a mystery for the ages. I know seeing is believing, but really it is not much effort to grab a tape measure from the kitchen drawer and reel it out...really it will help. If you still don't want to grab a tape measure, here is some more context...this will not go to your ceiling, and unless you are of shorter stature you might be taller than this bookshelf. I am about 5" 7" and this comes to my eyebrows, I can stand on tip toes and see the top, hope that helps :)Assembly was easy enough, it has the typical flimsy laminated cardboard back that uses a ton of small nails. And yes, the plastic feet are kind of awful, having matching feet would definitely be an improvement. Overall happy with the color, size and sturdiness of this bookshelf.
