I needed a small bookcase to fit in a recently vacated spot in my home office. Most of my office furniture is chrome with dark wood, and I just needed something that would roughly match, with narrow shelves and about 40" tall. These looked like they would work well, from a look and feel perspective and based on the dimensions provided. They arrived on time and unassembled. The packaging was good, everything arrived without damage. I reviewed the instructions, which comprised mainly a few diagrams. There wasn't much else to go on. That said, it was quite simple to put together, and fast since I could use my cordless screwdriver. I think it would take much longer to assemble if you used the hex wrench provided! The result was a small, sturdy bookcase that looks as it was described. I don't know if it could take a huge amount of weight, but it seems to hold up my books without difficulty.
